About this book
Reviews
“This impressive collection of essays gives us an eagerly awaited key contribution to the processual turn in the social sciences: its authors thoroughly discuss the concept of trans-action, and they put it to good use in diverse fields of social inquiry. Indispensable reading for relational sociologists and for everybody interested in the processual nature of the social world.” (Jan Fuhse, Replacement Professor of Sociology, University of Passau, Germany)
