This landmark work by one of the twentieth century's most influential sociologists argues that our behaviour in social situations is defined by how we wish to be perceived - resulting in displays startlingly similar to those of actors in a theatrical performance. From the houses and clothes that we use as 'fixed props' to the 'backstage' of the solitude in which our personas are rehearsed and relaxed, Goffman reveals human character not to be fixed, but fluid and consciously maintained.'Never less than brilliant' New StatesmanLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 129mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 202gAuthor: Erving GoffmanGenre: Society & CultureBook Series: Penguin Modern ClassicsRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
