DRAMATURGY
Zac, Lee and Julia
“The individual offers his performance and puts on his show
for the benefit of other people”-Goffman 1971
DRAMATURGY
“A performance is ‘socialised’, moulded, and modified
to fit into the understanding ad expectations of the
society in which it is presented”- Goffman, 1971
SOCIAL LIFE AS A GAME“ They are playing a game. They are playing at not playing a game. If
I show them I see they are, I shall break the rules and they will
punish me. I must play their game, of not seeing I see the game.”- Laing, RD, 1970
Idealisation
Life is a massive stage
We are constantly performing
Act out various versions of the ‘self’ to fit the scene
Conscious of saving face while performing
Dramatise actions so that we make a good first impression

SCRIPTED LIFE
A person who does not believe in their own performance
but acts the way they do in order to satisfy society norms.
CYNICAL
A person who is committed to their performance and
believes in what their ‘self’ is portraying.
Sincere
“One can be convinced that their impression of
reality which they stage is the true reality.”
“ A show for other people, performance to have
others believes that one has the attributes they
appear and show they have.”
DELUSION
SCRIPT
The delusion,
manipulation and
ignorance of interaction
are ultimately assisting
one thing- the game
THE GAME
But the end goal of any
game is to win. In order
to do this you need to be
able to manipulate
characters around you
and change the
performance
MANIPULATION
WHY/WHY NOT
No point in anything
including the social
game.
EXISTENTIAL VIEW
Punishments, rewards,
levels and try to ‘win’.

SIMS- LIFE AS A GAME
Exits, entries and
performance actions.
IMPRESSION OF SELF
Everything is staged,
even intimacy.
Front: Presentation of
yourself to others and
society
STAGES
Back: Where you
prepare for presentation,
in solitude.
2 or more people reliant on outcome of performance and script
Cooperation among members of a team define the script
Without teamwork meaning of interaction would be lost
Audience also plays a role in the development of a
performance
TEAMS
The “audience”
consists of people
surrounding the
interaction, a silent
character, basically any
witness to the
performance and
interaction
AUDIENCE
Their presence
influences the
characters and script, as
audience is one of the
many factors that
contribute to
dramaturgy.
Symbolic
interactionism
FRAMES
Frame of a situation
produces the event
itself.
