Erving Goffman

Forfatterbiografi

Erving Goffman (11. juni 1922 – 19. november 1982) var canadisk-amerikansk sociolog og socialpsykolog samt forfatter. Han forbindes især med udviklingen af et mikrosociologisk blik på hverdagslivets sociale orden, hvor ansigt, kropslige signaler og interaktionens “regler” ses som en central del af, hvordan mennesker håndterer hinanden i konkrete situationer. Goffman udgav flere indflydelsesrige værker, herunder Asylums (1961), Stigma (1963) og Frame Analysis (1974), og han skrev også Interaction Ritual: Essays on Face-to-Face Behavior (opr. 1967), som behandler face-to-face-adfærd som ritualiseret samspil. Hans betydning rækker langt ud over sociologien. Gennem begreber om dramaturgi, stigma, face-work og framing er han blevet et væsentligt referencepunkt for studier af social interaktion og kommunikation. Af anerkendelser fremhæves bl.a. at han blev udpeget som Guggenheim Fellow (1977–1978) og som Fellow of American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1969), og hans arbejde blev også hædret med MacIver Award i 1961 for The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life. Goffman er fortsat kendt som en af det 20. århundredes mest indflydelsesrige amerikanske sociologer, fordi han viste, hvordan små, tilsyneladende hverdagslige handlinger kan bære komplekse sociale betydninger.
