Ramon Vargas Maseda

Deciphering Goffman (eBook, PDF)

The Structure of his Sociological Theory Revisited

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Challenging the 'classical' conception of Goffman's sociology, this book offers a new, 'pluralist' interpretation of his work, acknowledging the important but overlooked influences of both Simmel and pragmatism and thus rooting Goffman's thought in symbolic interactionism.
