Sample text

In seeking to construct a systematic framework for the study of conversational interaction, Goffman employed the usual anthropological technique of ethnography, but he stressed that his aim was primarily systematic, not ethnographic: the dissertation is not an ethnography of the Shetland Isle community. He confines his interest to the characteristics of interactional practices. Questions about the frequency, intensity, history and functions of these practices, proper as they are, are set outside the dissertation’s remit.

The social occasion is the wider social entity, such as a farewell party or a day at the office, within which gatherings and situations take place. The social occasion is whatever it is Interaction’s Orderliness 37 that has brought together this group of people to this particular time and place. This more diffuse concept indicates that situations and gatherings do not float freely but are linked to and structured by broader sources of social regulation. Having revealed some different species of human co-presence commonly concealed by the generic term, ‘interaction’, Goffman returns to the key ‘unit’, the social gathering.

He consolidated his interaction sociology as a Berkeley professor in the decade from 1958, producing Encounters (1961b), Behavior in Public Places (1963a), Interaction Ritual (1967) (which reprinted the mid-1950s essays together with a new one, ‘Where the action is’), and Strategic Interaction (1969). In these works Goffman concentrates attention on practices of interaction, endeavouring to identify the rules that largely lie outside of our awareness and to specify the structures (or forms or ‘units’) we take for granted in everyday interaction.
