Goffman’s Empirical Work
The use by Goffman of interviews, organized and informal ethnographies, and documentary sources is examined in this chapter. Goffman’s empirical materials were a distinctive feature of his overall sociological approach, which might be regarded as a fieldwork-informed, conceptually more precise version of Georg Simmel’s formal sociology. The peculiarities of Goffman’s empirical work – his scepticism about interview data, the value placed on ethnog…

Passing
The concept of passing originates in popular and legal discourses of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries about relations between black and white people in the United States. Passing as an analytic concept in sociology owes much to the work of Erving Goffman and Harold Garfinkel. Their approaches to passing are examined in this entry and the fertility of passing as a social constructionist concept is sketched
Goffman, Erving (1922–1982)
This entry outlines Goffman's biography, sketches the importance of the intellectual and social contexts provided by the universities of Toronto and Chicago where Goffman studied in the 1940s and 1950s, and summarizes his major substantive contributions (dramaturgy, the interaction order, the significance of the ritual dimension, his treatments of mental patients, the stigmatized, and gender, and the concept of frame and the framing process). The…

Chrysalid Goffman: A Note on “Some Characteristics of Response to Depicted Experience
Goffman's first substantial sociological work, his M.A. thesis entitled “Some Characteristics of Response to Depicted Experience,” has hitherto escaped critical commentary. Inspection of the thesis yields insights into the early development of Goffman's sociology. It shows that Goffman's later dismissal of positivistic and experimental approaches, his suspicion of interview methods, and his valorization of observational data have their origins in…
