What is Dramaturgy? How does this apply to the front stage, back stage, and role distancing noted in Brym and Lie?…
In my ethnographic study, I apply theoretical concepts developed by Erving Goffman in The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life to the behavior of employees in the retail department store, Macy’s. Goffman (1959) argues that social interactions in everyday life can be understood as presentations between performers and audiences. Within social establishments, he suggests four analytical frameworks may govern how performers stage their “characters” including the technical, political, structural and cultural; he also argues that the aforementioned perspectives are situation-specific and thus can also be analyzed within a broader dramaturgical framework (Goffman 1959). The task of this…

The word drama, first used in the course of the 16th century, comes from the Greek drama, meaning “action”, or “to do”. In Wertenbaker’s Our Country’s Good, one of the aims of drama is to exhibit a picture of human life, and consider some of the difficulties a human being experiences in his life, such as finding one’s genuine identity. Our Country’s Good enables the spectator and the reader to follow the main characters and the way they evolve thanks to the play’s influence. As Whisehammer states “a play should make you understand something new”, that is, in this case, understanding and choosing who one really is.…

Non- Naturalistic is when your performance is based on stuff that would not normally occur. For Example-Continuously changing your character mood : you would walk(Movement) in a bizarre(Weird) way, it can be a way of showing something is changing. Its used a lot in drama to show a persons state of mind. Non-Naturalism is about actors which plays a role that would not be in a real life.

“Success is achieved by development of our strengths, not by elimination of our weakness.” We all have our strengths and weaknesses, most of us have a problem acknowledging our weaknesses versus strengths. With our weaknesses, we tend to ignore them off for a length of time, or put them on the back burner. It is possible to make a difference in one’s weaknesses, it is not an easy task but eventually with motivation, one will succeed.…

Dramaturgy is defined as “a sociological perspective that is a component of symbolic interactionism and is used in sociological analysis of everyday life” (Boundless, 2016). It represents an individual’s identity through society engagements. Identity is how an individual act for impressions of who they “really” are. Individuals can make videos, tweet, post a status, and make their profiles represent who they are. It is a way to communicate who we are to the society, which is also called impression management. However, there are two stages in this representation, and this is called the region management. There is a front stage which only shows the positive aspects of an individual, and there is a back stage which are the negative aspects…
The picture of the girl in the corner made me feel trapped and isolated because in the picture it seems like there is no way out or she’s locked in. The picture makes me wonder why she is in there, maybe for a reason; is she hiding? Did she get put in there? Is it her feelings? Has she being bullied? Is the coloured (green) her emotion? Her body language is closed up and shows me that she is not letting anyone or anything in. The girl looks like she is aged between 15-20, I say this because she looks fairly young and she could be in either in work clothes or school uniform. The girl looks upset because her body is hunched over and holding on tight on to her legs to show tension. I also thought that she could be scared, and she is hunched over because she don’t want anyone to see her or she feels safe in that position.…
My weakness include; entitlement, hardness of heart, and confusion. Believing that I am entitled to special privileges and persuade others that my role gives me special rights are inconsistent with good character traits. Hardness of heart comes from experiences of people that did not live up to my expectations. I must develop and practice mindfulness not to be confused on the role that I am identified. Identifying my weakness is important, it allows for self-reflection and…

Coming to the point of managing time when I have multiple tasks to do, I can’t manage time properly among the different tasks at same time.
