help redefine the meanings of symbolic interaction that now circulate in
Europe and North America.
It is an honor to be able to present these seminal papers to our interac-
tional readership. We thank Thaddeus Mu ̈ller for his seminal leadership in
this global project.
Fittingly, this volume concludes with a new paper by Philip Lewin. His
work foregrounds a new interpretive framework regarding youth identity
formation and deftly links literatures on symbolic interactionism with the
ones on subjectivity and embodiment.
