Erving Goffman and “The New Normal”: Havoc and Containment in the Pandemic Era
Structural Functional Theory
Structural functional theory is an orientation that focuses on structure – the patterning of roles, the form of institutions, and the overall articulation of institutions in a society – and seeks to explain these structures in terms of their functions – contributions to the stability and persistence of societies. It was the leading paradigm in sociology in the 1950s, and although criticized from many perspectives, its concepts of social structure…

Civilization and Economy
“The economy” is a social institution that is constructed and reproduced through human action, as human beings collectively produce their conditions of survival and well‐being
Theorizing the Deep Parallel between Goffman and Freud: Goffman's Interaction Order as a Social-structural Underpinning of Psychoanalytic Concepts of the Self
A dialectical reading of Goffman and Freud connects the Interaction Order to the psychoanalytic conception of the self and thereby open up new possibilities of interpretation and transformation. Goffman’s concept of the Interaction Order enables us to understand more clearly the Freudian concepts of superego, ego-ideal, and the introjected Father. Next, we draw out the dramaturgical approach of both Goffman and Freud in terms of performing self a…
Reflections on the ruins of Athens and Rome: Derrida and Simmel on temporality, life and death
The recent publication of the translation of Jacques Derrida’s Athens, Still Remains, a small volume of photographs and commentary, affords an opportunity to probe Derrida’s reflections on death and therefore on life as well. Looking at photographs and objects of everyday life, Derrida emphasizes the deferred yet certain nature of death and the way in which this deferral opens the opportunity to devote ourselves to life. His grounding of his phil…
Erving Goffman: Theorizing the Self in the Age of Advanced Consumer Capitalism
The authors argue that E rving G offman developed concepts that contribute to an understanding of historical changes in the construction of the self and enable us to see the new forms that self‐construction is taking in a society driven by consumption, marketing, and media. These concepts include: commercial realism; dramatic scripting; hyper‐ritualization; the glimpse; and the dissolution or undermining of the real, the authentic, and the autono…

Transnational movements in postmodern society
Changes in global economic, political, and cultural processes affect the form of movements. Such changes are currently under way, and their impact on movements is taking shape. We can use the term postmodern as a convenient shorthand for these changes. Postmodern is being used in many different ways. In part, the term means the rejection of the notion that we can identify large historical processes that transform “objective conditions.” However, …

Jacob Burckhardt as a Theorist of Modernity: Reading The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy
Jacob Burckhardt's The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy is read as a nineteenth century conceptualization of modernity. Its method is one of induction from a dense mass of details drawn from the literature, historiography, and art of the Renaissance. In some respects, Burckhardt anticipates Weber and parallels Marx, but he also includes certain elements of modernity that are absentfrom the other theorists, such as the emergence of moderni…

In Latin America they are being suppressed by force, in the Middle East, becoming subordinated to varieties of Islamic nationalism, and in the developed countries, losing electoral strength to the center and the right. This state of affairs requires a global analysis; we hope to examine only one small piece of the overall pattern, namely, …
