The Goffman Course

Meer over het boek

Focusing on Erving Goffman's influential ideas, this collection of essays explores his theories through the lens of various philosophers and sociologists. Originating from lectures delivered to students at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, the essays encourage critical engagement with Goffman's work. The course, attended by both philosophy and sociology students, aimed to deepen understanding of Goffman's observations and analyses of social life. These essays not only reflect academic discourse but also foster inquiry into Goffman's conclusions and methodologies.
