 Summary

Dramaturgie: Analyzing the micro-social explanation of everyday social interactions through the analogy of performance and theatrical dramaturgie


A sociological perspective that divides these interactions into 'actor', 'audience', and various 'front' and 'back' stages


Dramaturgie Sociology: Arguing that elements of human interaction depend on time, place, and audience

Goffman's ego - his sense of who he is, 

dramatic effect in the scene in front of one's eyes


Goffman: Forming theatrical metaphors while defining how humans express themselves to others based on cultural values, norms, and beliefs

Performance - Interrupted, mostly successful


The goal of self-expression - to be accepted by the audience through carefully performed performances

If the actor succeeds, the audience will see the actor as he likes


Dramaturgy - a social act that is seen by others and is designed to improve one's public self-image 

- Jürgen Habermas, Harold Garfinkl, etc. also use this concept


an interesting point

Turgi encompasses various aspects such as society, culture, and economy, and was interesting in that it could be seen as a factor causing social change through people's movement and interaction.

Furthermore, Goffman's self-concept is positively viewed in that it allows us to understand strategies, psychological mechanisms, and cultural elements used in interactions between ourselves and others by explaining how people communicate and interact to create and maintain certain images in front of others.



a question or discussion

Is there any other sociologist's argument similar to Goffman's ego?

    Charles Horton Cooley argued that the self is formed through social interaction through the concept of "mirror self." It is similar to Goffman's theory of self-direction in that the ego is formed as a result of interactions with others by claiming to recognize oneself through others' reactions and develop the self accordingly.

    While Erving Goffman's concept of ego is distinctive in its focus on impression management and self-presentation in social interactions, there are several related concepts and arguments within symbolic interactionism and related areas of sociology. These concepts emphasize the dynamic interplay between individual agency and social structure in shaping self-identity, social behavior, and the construction of social reality.

    Your summary of dramaturgy in sociology, particularly through Goffman's perspective, was insightful. I found it fascinating how dramaturgy uses theatrical metaphors to explain human interactions and self-presentation in society.

    Regarding your question about sociologists with arguments similar to Goffman's concept of ego, you might find Erving Goffman's ideas echoed in the works of sociologists like Erich Fromm and Charles Horton Cooley. Fromm, for instance, explores how individuals shape their identities in response to societal expectations, similar to Goffman's focus on self-presentation and social roles.

Introduction to the blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from Spring 2024 class in Invitation to Sociology at the Hanyang University in Korea will discuss their weekly readings and activities. Each week you are expected to post a blog post on at least 3 pages worth of the readings assigned for next week on our blog (here)  and make a comment on another student's post. As you are expected to do the assigned readings FOR the lectures they are assigned to, you are expected to post your blog and comments BEFORE that lecture. Deadline: Saturday midnight, for main blog posts and Sunday, midnight for comments. Exception: blog posts for the first week can be posted during the first week of class as if they were for the second week. An ideal commentary should be about a third of a page in length (~200 words), divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one q

Why are boys louder than girls? - Kim yeonhee (김연희)

  1) Summary Humans survive by learning the culture of the groups they belong to through social experiences. Throughout their entire lives, individuals undergo a process called socialization, which significantly influences their beliefs and behaviors. This applies not only to children but also to adults. Through socialization, individuals learn and develop beliefs and behaviors considered moral within their affiliated society, shaping their own values accordingly. Primary socialization occurs as children are influenced by their immediate family and friends. If they are exposed to discriminatory views about certain groups, the child may develop discriminatory attitudes towards those groups and believe that such behavior is acceptable. Secondary socialization occurs within larger society. Typically experienced during adolescence or adulthood when individuals encounter new environments and societies, secondary socialization is encountered. For example, in school, unlike at home, there are

First of all, sociology is chosen by people with a variety of personality types, and those who choose this field enjoy it at high rates.

It was also interesting to find that many sociology majors were satisfied wi
