Eloquently opposing the analytic thrust of philosophy in academia, noted pluralist philosopher Bruce Wilshire answers these questions and more in an effort to make philosophy more meaningful to our everyday lives. Writing in an accessible style he resurrects classic yet neglecte…

  • The Concept of the Paratheatrical

    Bruce WilshireARTICLETDR/The Drama Review1990

    We live in the age of the para: para-this, para-that, parapsychological, paramedical, paratheatrical. Traditional classifications of human activity are not adequate to contain our behaviors, and we try to convert borderline areas into more or less legitimate classes of acts. All that is solid melts into air, as Marx said in The Communist Manifesto. We push, bend, and overlap our categories, but we are not quite sure what they contain and what the…

  • The Dramaturgical Model of Behavior

    Open AccessBruce WilshireARTICLESymbolic Interaction1982Cited by: 4

    By means of the dramaturgical model we freshly illuminate social behavior as role-like 'performances' in which persons manage the impressions that others get of them. This impression management involves the concealment of data in a 'dramatic' struggle with those others who wish to penetrate one's 'mask.'

La mise entre parentheses de l'acte humain permet alors d'explorer les possibles et de thematiser les reves…
