The sociology of Erving Goffman has inspired generations of
sociologists throughout the world. Students and scholars alike have
in Goffman's unsurpassable and generous ability to capture the
world of everyday life discovered an emporium of useful, incisive
and quite often humorous analyses, concepts and ideas. The
Contemporary Goffman highlights the continued relevance of Goffman
to sociology and related disciplines - to theoretical discussions
as well as to substantive empirical research - through
contributions dealing with a variety of topics and themes. Some
contributions concentrate on locating or reinterpreting Goffman's
work as a special kind of sociology (as is found in his literary
sensibilities or his fieldwork strategies). Others focus on
overlooked aspects and neglected potentials of his sociology (by
applying his perspective to studies of gender, emotions and
violence), while others still relate his concepts and ideas to
substantive research areas (such as the media, mobile telephones,
hospitals, surveillance technologies and tourism).
