It is an enduring theme of humanity that people are concerned about
what others think of them. The notion of face has thus become
firmly established as a means of explaining various social
phenomena in a range of fields within the social sciences,
including anthropology, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and
psychology. Yet face has also become increasingly entrenched in the
literature as a kind of pre-existing sociocultural construct. This
book offers an alternative in focusing on the ways in which face is
both constituted in and constitutive of social interaction, and its
relationship to self, identity and broader sociocultural
expectations. There are three main themes explored in this volume.
Part I, 'Face in interaction', encompasses contributions that deal
with face as it emerges in interaction in various institutional and
non-institutional settings. In Part II, the relationship between
self, identity and face is investigated in the context of
interpersonal communication. The final part considers various
approaches to establishing links between individual interactions
(the so-called micro) and broader sociocultural expectations or
'norms' that interactants bring into interactions (the so-called
macro).
