Erving Goffman was a master of the long essay, a genre comparatively rare in contemporary sociological and anthropological writing. While there is a steadily expanding secondary literature on Goffman, few of his commentators have provided close readings of individual essays. This article offers close readings of 'Where the action is' and 'Normal appearances' to demonstrate the potential of this approach to the analysis of Goffman's oeuvre.RésuméErving Goffman était un maître de l'essai long, genre relativement peu répandu dans l'écriture sociologique et anthropologique contemporaine. Bien que de nouvelles publications lui soient régulièrement consacrées, rares sont, parmi ses commentateurs, ceux qui ont donné une lecture détaillée de ses différents essais. L'auteur propose ici une lecture attentive de Where the action is et Normal appearances, dans le but de démontrer l'intérêt potentiel de cette approche dans l'analyse de l'œuvre de Goffman
