Whatever else they may be doing, human beings are also and always
expressing themselves whenever they are in the awareness of others.
As such, the metaphor of life as theater - of people playing roles
to audiences who review them and then coordinate further action -
is an ancient idea that has been resurrected by social scientists
as an organizing simile for the analysis and understanding of
social life. The Drama of Social Life examines this dramaturgical
approach to social life, bringing together the latest original work
from leading contemporary dramaturgical thinkers across the social
sciences. Thematically organized, it explores: c the work of
classical and contemporary thinkers who have contributed most to
this theoretical framework c the foundational concepts of the
dramaturgical approach c a rich array of substantive areas of
empirical investigation to which dramaturgy continues to contribute
c directions for future dramaturgical thinking. An indispensable
collection that updates and extends the dramaturgical framework,
The Drama of Social Life will appeal to scholars and students of
sociology, social psychology, performance studies, cultural
studies, communication, film studies, and anthropology - and all
those interested in the work of Goffman and symbolic interactionist
theory and practice.
