Document Summary
Lecture 8 goffman: play: look back in anger by john osborne. The play was written by an angry young man that came back from the war. Because the people presenting it weren"t actors, didn"t know what the play was about and had no rehearsal time. Every day we practise the way we portray ourselves in front of others, more polished presentation: dramatic impact. In presenting yourself to others is all about making a dramatic impact. You must display correct feelings e. g. index finger vs. middle finger different impact if you use other finger, always give the right finger (remember the finger). Your emotion should be deep enough, not just a glaze or on surface, but must go deep at least a few inches. Successful interaction is not a given it"s an accomplishment. I don"t understand what you say i pretend i do and it fill in later, hopefully it will . This conversation makes no sense out of context.
