The Informal Economy: A Case Study in Unrestrained Competition
The New Labour government in Britain is the first post‐deregulation regime in Europe and the first to attempt to re‐regulate the labour market. In particular, its welfare‐to‐work programme and New Deal for Lone Parents are aimed at shifting activities from the informal to the formal economy, and at enlarging labour market participation. Its commitment to social justice and inclusion is closely linked to increased employment opportunities and a re…
The Nazi Eye Code of Falling in Love: Bright Eyes, Black Heart, Crazed Gaze
The treatment of eye brightness in Tolstoy's Anna Karenin is read to reveal a centuries-old Western eye code of love. This eye code is then used as a test of interaction theories essayed by Mead and by Goffman and of subjectivities left faceless by Foucault, Mulvey, Sartre and Lacan. The implications of Tolstoy's eye code are followed through to the conclusion that a woman in love (such as Anna Karenin) is a Nazi in the image of Hitler
The Identification of Self
The approach is by a winding road about nine miles long, boldly cut out of the rock ... the road comes to an end in front of a long underground passage leading into the mountain, enclosed by a heavy double door of bronze. At the far end of the underground passage a wide lift, panelled with sheets of copper, awaits the visitor. Through a vertical shaft of 330 feet cut right through the rock, it rises up to the level of the Chancellor's [Hider's] d…
The unrequited self
Destigmatizing the Stigma of Self in Garfinkel's and Goffman's Accounts of Normal Appearances
Accounts of normal appearances in Goffman's Stigma and Garfinkel's "Passing and the Managed Achievement of Sex Status in an Intersexed Person" are compared. It is found that in these two classic interactionist texts the formulation of stigma requires the production of normal appearances that occlude interactants' selves. In effect, selves are stigmatized. The essay reads Goffman and Garfinkel in terms of each other, and in certain emergent parado…
An Essay on Self and Camp
There is a time of day immediately before dusk when the outline of every object becomes sharply delineated. It was just that moment. The lacerated edges of wooden beams in the wreckage, the freshness of the rents in the shredded trees, and the curled zinc sheets with their puddles of rain water - everything appeared almost unpleasantly vivid. In the extreme west only a horizontal line of scarlet was to be seen in the sky between two or three towe…
The conversion of self in everyday life
Strangers to Themselves: How Interactants Are other than They Are
Analysis of a sequence of literary frames suggests that a heightened experience of interactional reality is also anomically constructive of the frame. In each of 16 frames, Durkheimian anomie neither destroys the frame's integrity nor renders its routine grounds unintelligible, as Goffman and Garfinkel would claim it must. Paradoxically, anomie ritually intensifies the frame. The selves in the paper's sequence of highly ritualized frames are not …
From‘Normal Appearances’to 'Simulation’in Interaction
Since they are modern characters, living in an age of transition more urgently hysterical at any rate than the age which preceded it, I have drawn my people as split and vacillating, a mixture of the old and the new. and I think it not improbable that modern ideas may, through the media of newspapers and conversation, have seeped down into the social stratum which exists below stairs. My souls (or characters) are agglomerations of past and presen…
Shelf-Life Zero: A Classic Postmodernist Paper
Ritual Power in Interaction
Research (by a self-styled participant observer) into two fashions of persons-nurses and punks-lends unexpected significance to the ritual 'frame' as this appears in Erving Goffman's thought. A new concept that was only implicit in Goffman's ritual frame is demanded by the research experiences. This is 'ritual power.' Ritual power, especially when it is strong, is like 'presence' or 'possession', and it may well exert a major claim on interactant…
