About the author

Erving Goffman was a Canadian-born American sociologist, social psychologist, and writer, considered by some "the most influential American sociologist of the twentieth century".
In 2007, The Times Higher Education Guide listed him as the sixth most-cited author of books in the humanities and social sciences.
Goffman was the 73rd president of the American Sociological Association. His best-known contribution to social theory is his study of symbolic interaction. This took the form of dramaturgical analysis, beginning with his 1956 book The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life. Goffman's other major works include Asylums (1961), Stigma (1963), Interaction Ritual (1967), Frame Analysis (1974), and Forms of Talk (1981). His major areas of study included the sociology of everyday life, social interaction, the social construction of self, social organization (framing) of experience, and particular elements of social life such as total institutions and stigmas.

Reviews

[zehraogut · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kitap Amerikan orta sınıfının günlük hayatta her gün tekrarladığı ritüellerin sistematik bir şekilde sosyolojik analizini içeriyor. Destekleyici değiş-tokuş, telafi edici değiş-tokuş, bağ işaretleri bölümlerinden özellikle faydalandım. Yazarın gözlemlerinden örnekleri, romanlardan, haberlerden alıntıları teorik bilgilerin bağlamına oturtulmasını sağladığı için okuması da nispeten daha rahat bir kitap. Türkçe tercümesini de oldukça iyi buldum.
