Frame Analysis: An Essay on the Organization of Experience

erving goffman

El genio de Goffman sigue estando directa e indirectamente en el corazón de la revolución de la psicología social, una revolución que comenzó en los setenta, pero que todavía ha de derrocar el neo-conductismo rampante de la corriente dominante. El cambio de énfasis de los individuos a las comunidades donde se ubican los recursos cognitivos con los que manejan su vida de forma ordenada, y el cambio correspondiente de un análisis estático a uno dinámico, estaban ya prefigurados en el trabajo de Goffman desde el principio. Goffman en Frame Analysis introdujo también otro repertorio de conceptos analíticos para entender los encuentros a pequeña escala. Un "marco" es aquello con lo que una persona da sentido a un encuentro y con lo que maneja una franja de vida (strip of life) emergente

About the author

erving goffman

Erving Goffman was a Canadian-born American sociologist, social psychologist, and writer, considered by some "the most influential American sociologist of the twentieth century".
In 2007, The Times Higher Education Guide listed him as the sixth most-cited author of books in the humanities and social sciences.
Goffman was the 73rd president of the American Sociological Association. His best-known contribution to social theory is his study of symbolic interaction. This took the form of dramaturgical analysis, beginning with his 1956 book The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life. Goffman's other major works include Asylums (1961), Stigma (1963), Interaction Ritual (1967), Frame Analysis (1974), and Forms of Talk (1981). His major areas of study included the sociology of everyday life, social interaction, the social construction of self, social organization (framing) of experience, and particular elements of social life such as total institutions and stigmas.
