Sociology: Goffman
Goffman fred’s lecture
Dramatism and the work of Goffman
In terms of critical policy there wasn’t a great deal until the begin of the 90s until manin and smith
Dramatism is the framework associated with Goffman and Goffman began writing in the 1950 his first book “the presentation of self in everyday life” presented in 1959 and after that he was a kind of maverick out on his own, producing a string of books containing what many at the time described as convincing journalistic accounts of how everyday live is managed by the individual. the views of Goffman weren’t simple but difficult there was the traditional view that this developed out of symbolical interactism developed from mead which is very important there are major differences also he was influences by an American journalism critic Kenif burke writing in the 1930 0r 40s after that he areas that he moved closer to fanomiolgy and * structuralism in that kind of view I emphasised last year was George Simmal what u can argue Goffman is doing is looking at common forms of behaviour in different context. More recently the main commentators including the handout I gave you by Collins, pointed to a strong connection to Durkheim arguing what Goffman is concerned with or social facts if u like the rules that produce social interaction and social order not individuals but Goffman differs from Durkheim in that he sees such order as fragile as constantly having to be built and rebuilt in everyday situations. Here the argument is that Goffman’s force is on the rituals that create and maintain order in everyday life.
The traditional views
Firstly the general theoretical framework that Goffman uses of dramatism. Secondly look at the presentation of self and look at how he himself does this. So firstly dramatism so you can argue that the term dramatism is to show the way individual act they attempt to manage to the impressions that other people see in other word interaction each individual puts on a show
