Dialogues, Dramas, and Emotions: Essays in Interactionist Sociology, drawing inspiration from the works of George Herbert Mead, Mikhail Bakhtin, Kenneth Burke, and American pragmatic philosophers, asserts that the verbal interactions of human agents are characterized by addresses and rejoinders, which Bakhtin termed dialogues. These dialogues align with Bakhtin's concept of dramatism, as discussed by Robert Perinbanayagam. Perinbanayagam utilizes examples from both dramatic literature and everyday conversations to illustrate how everyday interactions are inherently dramas, facilitated through the use of dialogues to foster mutual understanding. Beyond analyzing the dialogues themselves, the author delves into the various emotionalities that play a role in these interactions, highlighting their consequences in ongoing human relationships.
