Synopsis

Encounters: Two Studies in the Sociology of Interaction by Erving Goffman is a book that explores the nature of social interaction between individuals. The book is divided into two parts, with each part focusing on a different aspect of social interaction. The first part of the book is titled ""The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life"" and is considered one of Goffman's most famous works. This section explores the concept of ""impression management"" and how individuals present themselves to others in social situations. Goffman argues that individuals engage in a form of performance when interacting with others, carefully crafting their behavior and appearance to create a desired impression. The second part of the book is titled ""Encounters"" and focuses on the ways in which individuals interact with each other in more informal settings. Goffman examines the various elements that make up these encounters, including the physical setting, the behavior of those involved, and the social norms that govern the interaction. He argues that these encounters are often fraught with tension and conflict, as individuals navigate the complex social dynamics at play. Overall, Encounters: Two Studies in the Sociology of Interaction is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex nature of social interaction. Goffman's insights into the ways in which individuals present themselves to others and navigate social situations are still relevant today, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of sociology or human behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
