Taking a Symbolic Interactionist approach, and drawing on Goffman’s dramaturgical theory, Susie Scott explores the micro-social processes of interaction through which identities are created, maintained, challenged and reinvented. With a focus on empirical studies as illustrations, classic sociological theory is applied to contemporary examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter focuses on a key dimension of how identities are negotiated in the drama of everyday life, from politeness and face-saving rituals to secrecy, lies and deception. Goffman’s ideas are explored in relation to self-presentation, role-making, group interaction and public behaviour, while language and discourse are shown to help people to give credible identity performances and to frame social situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book reveals how social selves change over the life course through stigma, labelling and deviant careers, and how life in a total institution can radically transform its members' identities. Through all of these processes, self and society are shown to be intertwined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis insightful approach will appeal to students taking a range of courses in the sociology of the self, identity, interaction and everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000687902956,"sku":"9780745669731","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/13054443482453.jpg?v=1763297307"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/susie-scott.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
