While most studies of social interaction have gone behind closed doors to focus on relationships in the family, school, and workplace, this innovative collection pushes the boundaries of the field by analyzing both fleeting and anchored relationships in the seldom-studied communal areas where much of contemporary life takes place. The contributors shed light on the diversity and character of day-to-day negotiations in public spaces and at the same time illuminate how these social ties paradoxically blend aspects of durability and brevity, of emotional closeness and distance, of being together and alone.Interpersonal relationsPublic spacesElectronic books.Interpersonal relations.Public spaces.302Morrill Calvin1044943Snow David A320026White Cindy H.1965-1044944MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450105503321Together alone2470879UNINA
