 1-SUMMARY)

Dramaturgy is a sociological perspective that analyzes micro-sociological explanations of social interactions through the analogy of performance and theatrical dramaturgy, dividing these interactions into various stages. This term was first used by Erving Goffman. Presenting oneself to others is referred to as dramaturgy. Goffman identified seven key elements related to performance:

  1. Belief in the Role One Plays: It is important for the performer to genuinely believe in their role. The audience can only guess whether the performer is sincere.

  2. Front (or "Mask"): Performers use various masks to control how the audience perceives them. This is a standardized and generalizable technique, as people use multiple masks throughout their lives.

  3. Dramatic Realization: Performers emphasize aspects they want the audience to know. This involves dramatically expressing certain parts to leave a good first impression.

  4. Idealization: Performers idealize the situation to avoid confusion and present an ideal image that the audience expects. The audience has an 'idea' of how a given situation (performance) should be, and performers strive to align their performance with that idea.

  5. Maintenance of Expressive Control: Performers need to send the right signals and suppress any impulses that might convey misleading signals, maintaining their character.

  6. Misrepresentation: Performers need to avoid conveying incorrect messages, as the audience tends to perceive the performance as either genuine or false. Performers generally want to avoid the audience thinking they are not genuine.

  7. Mystification: Performers conceal certain information from the audience to increase their interest or to avoid revealing information that could harm the performer.

The areas of the stage are divided into three parts: front stage, back stage, and off-stage.

2-INTERESTING)

I found it interesting that internal secrets are shared to enhance team cohesion.

This is a crucial element in strengthening the bonds within the team. 3-QUESTION)

The text mentions that the treatment of absentees affects team cohesion.

In reality, how might discussions about absentees have positive or negative impacts on the team?

    Discussions about absentees can positively impact the team by fostering accountability and encouraging better communication regarding attendance issues. However, if handled poorly, such discussions might create resentment or tension among team members, potentially undermining trust and cohesion within the team. Therefore, it's essential for leaders to approach these discussions constructively, emphasizing problem-solving and support rather than blame.

 1. Summary Arnett described the goal of socialization as follows. 1. Impulse control and development of conscience. 2. Preparing and performing roles, including professional roles, gender roles, and roles in institutions such as marriage and parental roles. 3. The source of meaning, the cultivation of what is important, valuable, and to live. Socialization is the process of preparing humans to function in social life. Socialization is relative to culture and does not force evaluation judgments. Since socialization is the adoption of culture, it differs from culture to culture and from subculture to culture. It should be noted that socialization is a key sociological process in the development of individuals who can function in human society, but not all aspects of human behavior are learned. Socialization is generally divided into two parts. Primary socialization occurs early in life in childhood and adolescence. Secondary socialization refers to socialization that occurs througho...

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.

W12.1 Blog for reading materials

1.Summary Goffman's dramaturgical theory has been applied to various social phenomena, including social movements, online identity construction, and theatrical performances. 2.Discussion The pursuit of essence is human beings' superficial understanding of things, and the pursuit of differences is human beings' deep understanding of things. Essence can be applied and labeled. It is a superficial understanding of things and is the process of people's understanding of the world. Lazy means. It is believed that as long as you master the essence of things, you have mastered everything about them, that is, you can transform cognition into action. Therefore, I believe that constructing essence is the first step to understand things, and constructing differences is the most important thing to understand things. People should construct their understanding of differences by constructing essence. Whether it is playing games, reading novels, getting drunk, or skydiving, all kinds o...
