Der Goffmensch: Überlegungen zu einer dramatologischen Anthropologie

Abstract: The works of Erving Goffman are being read and interpreted differently. The reconstruction of Goffmann's implicit understanding of the human condition contributes to the comprehension of his writings: Goffmann's interest is the interactional order as a principal coping problem for the actor. This actor, labelled here as 'the Goff-Man', must constantly interpret situations, select action alternatives and applicate sign and symbol systems. The fact that he or she usually does this in a routine manner does not change the need that he or she cannot help choosing constantly. Seen from a culture theoretical perspective, the 'Goff-Man' can be termed an 'eccentric problem solver'. Viewed phenomenologically, he or she is a kind of 'existentialist social virtuoso'. According to his or her logic of action, he or she appears as a 'proto-political strategist'. The relevant type of actor for Goffman thus becomes central for a dramatological understandig of human coexistence
