Transitions between Symbolic Domains in Organizations
研究政府组织中不同工作场景被定义为符号域，成员需在不同符号域间切换，而过渡仪式有助于这种转换。基于管理者与政治部长的互动分析。
Different work settings in a governmental organization are socially defined as symbolic domains. Each domain represents distinct ways of framing and inter preting talk and action. Members of the organization must be able to keep all symbolic domains in mind and switch back and forth between them, as they cross different work settings. The paper claims that rites of transition facilitate switches between symbolic domains directing the entry to and the exit from symbolic domains. The social definitions of symbolic domains and the transitions between them are analyzed on the basis of a study of the interaction between a group of managers and the political minister.
