Erving Goffman's writings on etiquette and front are read in the context of a tradition of Chicago school studies on such topics. Robert E. Park formed this tradition from two strains of thought: one based on the writings of Herbert Spencer, and the other on that of Georg Simmel. A review of writings by Park, and by his students Bertram W. Doyle and Everett C. Hughes, provides a basis for analyzing Goffman's original contributions to the tradition, a synthesis of the two strains. Goffman both advanced the line of study and shared in its biases. These limitations must be overcome if future research in the tradition is to proceed.

In French Canada in Transition (1943) and a set of related essays written between 1933 and 1941, Everett Hughes, a key figure in the “Second Chicago School” of sociology developed a novel and noteworthy conceptualization of social class. This contribution, which was not recognized outside of French‐language sociology in Quebec, was an integral element of Hughes's “interpretive institutional ecology” theoretical frame of reference. It combined elements of the classical ecological theory of class (human ecology, functionalism, Simmel), aspects of a Weber‐inspired analysis of class, status, and political power, and elements of a proto‐dependency analysis of Quebec's industrialization in the 1930s. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

“…As Levine, Carter and Gorman have impressively reconstructed, Simmel (1976a, 1976b) has left his mark on American sociology at various points. Interest in Simmel’s writings in the United States began surprisingly early, which also has to do with the fact that he was translated before many other European authors (Frisby, 1991; Jaworski, 1995). The International Journal of Ethics published a translation of an essay by Simmel in 1893, and the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science in 1895.…”

The influence of Georg Simmel on American sociology has been repeatedly pointed out. Robert E. Park and the Chicago School of Sociology in particular owe important impulses to Simmel. It is sometimes overlooked, however, that Simmel himself drew on imported knowledge in his famous essay ‘Die Großstädte und das Geistesleben’ when focusing on the nervousness of the city dweller. This article will therefore tell the brief story of a reciprocal transatlantic knowledge transfer between Berlin and Chicago. It looks at the mutual fascinations and influences, examining both the Americanisation of knowledge and the Europeanisation of experience.
