Abstract
Helmut Staubmann argues in his new book that sociological theory should acknowledge its overemphasis on the normative regulation of social relationships and institutions and provide appropriate attention to the expressive and aesthetic aspects of social life. With many illustrations, he demonstrates that the expressive aspect is present in almost all interaction and, moreover, important institutions, such as museums and concert venuses, operate to give popular access to highly salient aesthetic experiences. Staubmann also provides an unparalleled overview of past literature addressing the expressive/aesthetic aspect of social life. The present comments add suggestions about how, given the complexity of the problem, the expressive/aesthetic elements of interaction.
