相互作用秩序としてのコミュニケーション

ゴフマンの視点から

抄録

Face-to-face communication in modern society is more than ever susceptible to many of socially-biased and media-influenced interpretations. Erving Goffman was one of the sociologists who tried to pin down the mechanism of such face-to-face communication in everyday life. Our effort here is first to review a couple of postmodern interpretations of Goffman's original work, and second to save the nature of social selves from the context of poststructuralist trend, and third to make clear the duality of social selves and definitions of situations, and finally to link the previous discussion with the basic views which Goffman sketched.
