When we speak of performances, we perhaps picture a stage or a big screen, and an atmosphere that is far from the lives of ordinary people. However, this book, The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life, points out that, in fact, all of us are acting performances by presenting to others a certain image or social role in our daily life, with or without intention. Since the book was published, it has long been regarded as a classic in sociology.
Erving Goffman was a renowned American sociologist, and still is recognized as such today. He completed his undergraduate study at the University of Toronto. After obtaining his doctoral degree from the University of Chicago, Goffman first taught at the University of California, in Berkeley and then moved to teach at the University of Pennsylvania. Known as “one of the giants of 20th century sociology,” he was the founder of the famous social dramaturgical theory and was elected as the 73rd president of the American Sociological Association. He came to fame with The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life, which is his most influential book.
