Sinopsis

Part of the SAGE Social Thinker series, this book serves as a concise and inviting introduction to the life and works of Erving Goffman, one of the most prominent social theorists in postwar sociology. Goffman&rsquo,s ideas continue to influence scholars in various fields and have also attracted many readers outside conventional academia. Goffman&rsquo,s overall research agenda was the exploration of what he termed the interaction order&mdash,that is, the micro social order that regulates the co-mingling of people in each other&rsquo,s immediate presence. He coined several new concepts (face-work, impression management, role distance, civil inattention, etc.) with which to grasp and understand the complexities and basic social restructuring of everyday life, many of which are now part of sociology&rsquo,s standard vocabulary.
