SOCA01H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Harold Garfinkel, Summary Offence, Erving Goffman
Document Summary
Show not just on surface, but go in a few inches. Strangers; new situaion; hi status other; being evaluated; illegal act. Infracions ex. messing up in conversaions in funerals: embarrassment. Conversaion as a gloss on the surface, we do not really know what is going on, somewhat not clear . Garinkel made paricipants breach conversaion by being more explicit. Found that when you tell people to be more explicit they tend to get aggressive faster. Ex. holding door for other person, leing handicap have seat on the bus. Ex. you see a old friend you haven"t seen in a while but you avoid him and don"t say hi. Ritual: is to hug them and converse a litle. Atenuaion rule: the irst ime you see someone ater a break where you haven"t seen them in a while, you greet them. But you don"t have to say hi every ime the person comes by aterwards.
