Boekbeoordeling

Meer over het boek

The book explores the concept of total institutions as defined by sociologist Erving Goffman, focusing on environments where individuals are isolated from broader society for extended periods. It examines how these settings, characterized by a structured and regulated daily life, impact the identities and experiences of those within them. Through a detailed analysis, the text delves into the dynamics of social interaction and the effects of confinement on personal and communal life.
