Descrizione

This essay aims at surveying Erving Goffman’s contribution to the sociology of the emotions. It consists of two parts: in the first part, it is stated that the Canadian sociologist has never taken any interest in the emotions, even in the well-known essay on embarrassment, which is dealt
with in the topic of the ‘interaction rules’: in the second part it is stated that Goffman’s dramaturgical approach is at the basis of one of the main sociological approaches to emotions, the socalled dramaturgical-cultural approach. These two theses aren’t contradictory indeed: this essay is meant to support the theory that Goffman’s thought (like that of many other ‘classical’ authors of sociology) can be considered at the roots of the contemporary sociology of the emotions, even if he seems not to have intentionally contributed to it.

Key words: Goffman, emotions, embarrassment, dramaturgical approach.
