Erving Goffman's The Presentation of Self

[afolksinger]

the term 'sociology' presents something underhand and marxist and social engineerish to me. Never the less i found his 'asylums' interesting.

What up Garageband loops?!?!

@pols2787 First thing I noticed also!

[chris6z4]

can you give me a link to goffman's study please?

[risteard01]

@chris6z4 he wrote loads of books, he known for more than one of them

[SammyColin13]

can you post the sites that you got the information from. I have a soc assignment and would like more information on Goffman's idea and theories

[Mortalvis]

@SammyColin13 i actually got the information from a book called, "Seeing Ourselves: Classic, contemporary and cross-cultural readings in Sociology" 7th edition by John Macionis and Nijole Benokraitis, it's a really good resource if you're up to looking for it. You're welcome to take information from the video if you'd like.

[SammyColin13]

@Mortalvis thanks. I might just do that. The thing is we're supposed to make notes off our research and the slide is already in note form. I might just use it for refernece but its a great help

[SammyColin13]

@Mortalvis thanks. Since its already in notes it might be harder to use but it is definitely a great resource

[Thusyanthan]

goffman is a fucking retard. always been

[riquelbc]

@Thusyanthan how so?

[risteard01]

@riquelbc dont listen to him, hes probably failing in sociology, took it on because he thought it was easier than the crap business studies he does most of the time....
