The Anecdote
This article, written by sociologist Mike Michael, is the second chapter of the book Inventive Methods: The Happening of the Social edited by Celia Lury and Nina Wakeford constituting a significant contribution to the field of Sociology. Michael presents an innovative perspective on the anecdote and the “anecdotalization” process through the lens of renowned sociological theories (such as Bruno Latour’s Actor-Net Theory or Isabelle Stenger’s Rhetorical Figure of the Idiot) comparing and contrasting his viewpoint with other perspectives in the field. While featuring personal anecdotes, the author helps us analyse the multiple theoretical and social dimensions that the genre presents.
