This article pushes interactionist sociology forward. It does so by drawing out the implications of a simple idea, that to understand the situation—the mise en scene of interactionist theory—we must understand it in relation not only to past-induced habits of thought and action but to future situations anticipated in interaction. Focusing especially on the rhythmic nature of situations, the paper then argues that such a recalibration both unsettles core tenets of interactionism and helps solve some problems in the sociology of culture. As an illustration, it focuses on two such puzzles—the place of disruption in interaction and the relationship between the notion of “boundaries” and of “distinctions” in the sociology of culture.

情况之间：预期，节奏和互动理论

本文推动了互动主义社会学的发展。它是通过得出一个简单想法的含义来做到这一点的，即要了解这种情况（即交互论理论的场景），我们不仅必须与过去诱发的思想和行动习惯相联系，而且还要与未来的预期情况相联系来了解它。相互作用。然后论文特别关注情境的节奏性质，然后指出，这种重新校准既使互动主义的核心宗旨不安，也有助于解决文化社会学中的一些问题。作为说明，它着眼于两个这样的难题：互动的中断位置以及文化社会学中“边界”和“区分”概念之间的关系。
