Erving Goffman - Interaction Ritual

In this animated video, we use the concepts "line", "face", and "expressive order" to illustrate how Erving Goffman explains social interaction in everyday life.
This was made for the course "Major Works in Contemporary Social Theory" at Wageningen UR by MSc students of International Development Studies: Edel Heuven, Stijn Vercammen, Caspar Swinkels and Wouter Asveld.
We'd like to thank our supervisors Gert Spaargaren and Peter Oosterveer for their kind support and inspiring advice. Also many thanks to Stan Verberkt for providing the microphone.

A threat ? Erving is an observant sociologist; he does his cataloging well, but the term threat made by him is overwhelming especially in this context of a BBQ party. it would be better to redefine or chose another term for “ threat” when it comes to saving face technique certain groups of ppl use. Also I feel that goffman’s work was used as a double edged sword. It brought to light a lot of social behaviors and his theories of their origins, yet I deeply know that some how it reinforced the importance of keeping up these behavioral and social hypocrisies in “modern” human interactions.
