The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life

by Erving Goffman


Instrumental in shaping my thinking during my PhD (2018–2022).

A classic. Goffman analyses the different ways in which we construct and present ourselves within social interactions through the lens of actors in a play, and our mutual collaboration in maintaining these constructed masks.
