"Thomas Scheff demonstrates why Goffman remains such a key figure
for social scientists. Goffman may have been cautious about
recognizing the role of emotions in social life, but Scheff boldly
and creatively shows why the sociological and the psychological are
necessarily intertwined. This is certainly a book for all serious
analysts of social behaviour." Michael Billig, Nottingham
University "Scheff's critical eye is equal to his subject, shrewdly
appreciating Goffman's many virtues while also showing where and
how Goffman's thinking needs revision and development. This
original and provocative book offers a fresh interpretation of
Goffman and will become a benchmark for all subsequent commentary."
Greg Smith, University of Salford One of the seminal sociologists
of the twentieth century, Erving Goffman revolutionized our
understanding of the microworld of emotions and relationships. We
all live in this world every day of our lives, yet it is virtually
invisible to us. Goffman's genius was to recognize and describe
this world as no one had before. The book synthesizes prior
scholarly commentary on Goffman's work, and includes biographical
material from his life, untangling some of the many puzzles in
Goffman's work and life. Scheff also proposes ways of filling gaps
and false starts. One chapter explores the meaning of the emotion
of love, another of hatred. These and other new directions could
facilitate the creation of a microsocial science that unveils the
emotional/relational world.
