Have you ever pretended you couldn't hear a private cellphone conversation? Or tried to look alert in class but yawned by accident? This is the kind of stuff Erving Goffman studied and wrote about. http://www.ervinggoffmanandyou.com • Erving Goffman was a sociologist who used theater terminology to analyze everyday interactions, and called this method dramaturgy. Erving Goffman and You explores the main tenets of Erving Goffman's writings on face-to-face interaction using six different modern day anecdotes. The episodes cover many of Goffman's concepts, including unmeant gestures, regions, teams, tactful inattention, impression management, and idealized performances.
