This thinker used the example of two dogs that threaten one another and respond to one another's threats to elucidate his concept of the "conversation of gestures." This thinker theorized that the act develops through the stages of impulse, perception, manipulation, and consummation in a book contrasting the "act-as-such" with the "social act." He argued that through the stages of play and organized games, children develop the ability to take on the perspective of the "generalized other." This author of The Philosophy of the Act distinguished between the individual and the social self, or the "I" and the "me," in a book which helped pioneer symbolic interactionism. For 10 points, name this American sociologist, the author of Mind, Self, and Society.
