Abstract

In his famous work on the stranger, Alfred Schutz focuses on the interpretative discrepancies between in-groups and out-groups from the per-spective of a stranger approaching a new group. In doing so, Schutz empha-sizes that strangers can overcome their strangeness within a social group by adapting to the prevalent cultural patterns. Shifting the perspective from the stranger to the in-group this essay aims to argue that the experience of the Other’s strangeness due to a discrepancy of interpretative schemes is only one dimension of how the stranger is perceived in everyday life. A second dimen-sion can be derived from Schutz’ work on appresentation. !is essay will fol-low four analytical steps. First, this essay summarizes the Schutzian approach on perceiving the Other as a taken-for-granted part of everyday life within an assumed intersubjective understanding based on an assumed reciprocity of perspectives. Referring to Eberle’s description of an irreciprocity of perspectives, the second section analyzes the Schutzian stranger based on an intersubjective understanding. !e third section then focuses on the appresentational pro-cesses of perceiving the stranger in everyday life. By using Goffman’s distinc-tion between virtual and actual social identity, the interplay of categorizing and experiencing the Other in everyday life can be described. Finally, consid-ering the question of how it comes that people can #nd themselves strangers in their own society, this paper closes by merging the argumentation with a description of the Schutzian perspective on the processes of stigmatization.
