AB - The traditional separation of explanations of collective behavior and routine social behavior is noted. Blumer's work is examined as representative of and influential in maintaining this separation. Participants' reports of the initiation and development of an elementary form of collective behavior are presented. This case study records repeated examples of the processes Blumer and others have restricted to routine social behavior and thus challenges the separation they have maintained. These data are used to illustrate some rudimentary principles which are applicable to the production, maintenance, and alteration of lines of social behavior in routine and collective behavior settings.
