Goffman argues that we are all actors on a stage as we interact with each other in our daily lives. We perform a social role within a specific setting, we have an appearance on how we want to be perceived, and we use scripts/tools to perform our social role.
The assignment in this paper, you will give an example of how you perform the
presentation of self techniques in your daily life by describing a social role you perform.
We perform many social roles throughout our daily life. Give an
example of a dramaturgy analysis of a social role you perform.
Choose One role that you perform (student, employee, parent,
sibling, spouse, etc.)
Front Stage Performance:
1. What social role do you perform?
2. What is the status (ascribed or achieved)? Remember, a status
is a position we occupy, and we play a role attached to each
status.
3. Where does the setting take place? (School, work, home, etc.)
describe the location in detail.
4. What does your appearance look like to perform your role? give
examples i.e. I wear dark slacks, namely black, sometimes grey,
and colorful printed tops. My shoes are mainly white sneakers.
My hair is combed into a ponytail.
5. What types of mannerisms do you use to perform your role? how
do they change when you come into contact with differen
t
people? (see the presentation in module 5, Social Structure and
Social Interaction.)
6. What types of scripts (some jobs require employees to use
scripts when interacting with customers or clients or tools (or
physical objects you use in your job do you use to perform your
role?
If you need help figuring out how to answer the above questions, go back and reread the PowerPoint on presentation of self in module 5,
Social Structure and Social Interaction in Presentations.
