ABSTRACT
Apples and oranges. Are we dealing with two different things? Leon Anderson and traditional interactionists want to use analytic refl exivity to improve theoretical understandings. Stacy wants to change the world. Carolyn wants to embed the personal in the social. Tami Spry’s self-narratives critique the social situatedness of identity. Mark wants to “democratize the representational sphere of culture” by writing outward from the self to the social. Are we in parallel or separate universes? Who is talking to whom? It’s déjà vu all over again.
