Gofman is a contemporary theorist who introduced the concept of face and line to sociological perspective for the first time. When Gofman refers to the concept of this line, he refers to the pattern of behavior that people use to express their views about certain circumstances of others (Layder 1998: 172-174). That person asked questions he tried to "sell" himself or to others. As an example of a row, a person sometimes says that the person is the fastest child in high school.
Like George Herbert Meade 's "Self, I and I" development and interaction theory, Owen ยท Gofmann (1955) explains how the development of "lines" and how individual them are in the social context Will it be? . . By evaluating a person's self and others in a particular group environment, a person engages in speech and non-verbal behavior that is also known as a person's particular viewpoint, also known as "line" (Goffman 1955, 338 ). The above "line" is "positive social value" (Goffman 1955, 338), one of which is acclaimed and is defined as (red) "face".
Let's think about it (page 10-11). Here, Gofman traveled in a different direction and began studying how social interaction actually works. In most cases, people are probably trying to save the face of others by encountering this. In other words, this relationship is reciprocal and autonomous. In most cases, this interaction is not to insult an actor but to try to provide a "keep your face and other participants' face" (page 11). It is this "mutually acceptable" (page 11, middle) row that maintains social exchanges, maintains the feelings and faces of each participant, and keeps the flow of exchanges (the situation is temporary There is also). Since the presented face is maintained and established, this provides continuity of social interaction (top of page 12). This is a way for institutions to build and maintain in society.
Brown and Levinson's approach is based on Goffman's research on facial concepts. Goffman (1967) defines a face as a self-portrayal image based on approved social attributes. It will have to endure it at the moment the face is taken. Here, his coin expresses "lost face" and "save human face". From these concepts the following expression is derived. "Myself, a face that exists, exists, or maintains", this means that a consistent face inside is on the wrong face. "Face-to-face" means that participants' expectations are not yet prepared for the situation (Goffman, 1967). Mr. Gofman argues that interactions, especially face-to-face conversations, are determined by mutual acceptance and participants maintain their faces, defensive direction, face of other participants, protective direction There is a tendency to do.
