Neurosociology The Nexus Between Neuroscience & Social Psychology
Many
sociologists think that neuroscience is incompatible with sociology in
general but I think most of this is based on superficial understandings
of a field that is still a foreign land to many social scientists.
Because I have been involved with symbolic interaction during most of my
career, a great deal of my interests are related to this perspective
although certainly not exclusively. During the 1980s many influential
figures in symbolic interaction moved away from George Herbert Mead to
develop new methodologies and styles like ethnographies and to embrace
the notion of narratives.There are further indications in his lectures
on the biologic individual that would imply that current neuroscience
would be critical in forwarding his social interests. While symbolic
interaction’s interest in going in new directions can justifiably be
seen as a healthy impulse to go beyond its past, a familiarity with
Mead’s writings on the priority of manipulative action may have saved
the field from the extremes of recent postmodernism. Mead and his brief
comments on what we now call the brain do imply some bridges between
neuroscience and traditional symbolic interaction which have not always
been recognized.
