Week 4 extra) About Goffman's book

The Goffman’s book The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life. How much did you read? Did you find it interesting? Difficult? Do you think it is a good book for students of social sciences in the 2020s?


I'm trying my best to fit the amount the professor told me to read, but I haven't finished it yet. The Dramaturgy that society is considered a theater and that all individuals perform plays is very interesting. 
But there are also difficulties. First of all, there are parts that I don't know if I understood well because it is difficult to read article in original language. So I thought it would be nice to have a single organized table.
I think it is also valid in the 2020s because people have multiple personas. But I think it is necessary to expand by introducing the concept of online situations. This is because there is a growing trend of interaction in the online environment. (as I did my assignment !)
