Synopsis
In what the General Practitioner called ‘this intelligent searching work’, the author of ‘Stigma’ and ‘Asylums’ presents an analysis of the structures of social encounters from the perspective of the dramatic performance. He shows us exactly how people use such ‘fixed props’ as houses, clothes, and job situations; how they combine in teams resembling secret societies; and how they adopt discrepant roles and communicate out of character. Professor Goffman takes us ‘backstage’ too, into the regions where people both prepare their images and relax from them; and he demonstrates in painful detail what can happen when a performance falls flat.

Condition: Muy bueno. : En este libro, Erving Goffman presenta un análisis de las estructuras de los encuentros sociales desde la perspectiva de la representación dramática. Explora cómo las personas utilizan elementos como casas, ropa y situaciones laborales, cómo se combinan en equipos y cómo adoptan roles discrepantes. Goffman nos lleva 'detrás del escenario' para examinar cómo las personas preparan sus imágenes y se relajan de ellas, demostrando lo que puede suceder cuando una actuación fracasa. Una contribución notable para comprender el comportamiento humano en situaciones sociales y la forma en que nos mostramos a los demás.
