Erving Goffman: A Critical Introduction to Media and Communication Theory

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz Yves Winkin

Although Erving Goffman never claimed to be a media or communication scholar, his work is definitely relevant to, and has already served as a substantial resource for, those who are. This is the first detailed presentation and analysis of his life and work intended specifically for a communication audience. While primarily an introduction to Goffmans work, those already familiar with his ideas will also learn something new. In addition to summarizing Goffmans major concepts and his influence on other scholars, the book includes an intellectual biography, explication of his methods, and an example of how to extend his ideas. Readers are invited to consider Goffman as a lens through which to view much of the pattern evident in the social world. Goffmans work always appealed to the general public (several of his books became bestsellers), and so this book has implications for those who are interested in the role of media or communication in their own lives as well as those who study it professionally.
