Building from foundational symbolic interactionist theories that the Self is social (Mead, 1934), performative (Goffman, 1959), and relational (from Cooley’s notion of the looking glass self (1902) to Gergen’s notions of the populated self in 1991), this work focuses on the quality of the response in micro moments of the symbolic interaction process. It argues that these are central in positioning or mapping social space as well as the characteristics of the Self within these spaces, particularly in, but not limited to, digitally saturated contexts.
