2013 Reprint of 1961 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Includes
two studies: "Fun in Games" and "Role Distance." Erving Goffman
(1922 - 1982) was a Canadian-born sociologist and writer and is
considered one of the most influential American sociologists of his
era. In 2007 he was listed by The Times Higher Education Guide as
the 6th most-cited author in the humanities and social sciences,
behind Anthony Giddens and ahead of Jurgen Habermas. Goffman was
the 73rd president of the American Sociological Association. His
best-known contribution to social theory is his study of symbolic
interaction in the form of dramaturgical analysis that began 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 sociology
of everyday life, social interaction, social construction of self,
social organization (framing) of experience, and particular
elements of social life such as total institutions and stigmas.
