    <body><![CDATA[I'm not a student of sociology or psychology, but I can't seem to stay away from the work of Erving Goffman. This is the third book by Goffman that I've read (others: Stigma, Asylums). In this book, Goffman elucidates a &quot;dramaturgical&quot; theory of self, which he claims is an additional metho...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4961768">more...</a>]]></body>

I certainly felt this myself for about twenty years, and even when I did begin to use his ideas, it was in fear and trembling. Goffman was a phenomenon.

    <body><![CDATA[Feels a bit dated and sexist by current standards, but Goffman's theatrical metaphor of symbolic interaction is still fascinating.
