W11-2.Dramaturgy


1. summary

Dramaturgy in sociology is a commonly used view of micro-social description of social interaction. Dramaturgy argues that elements of human interaction depend on time, place, and public. Dramaturgy analyzes the context of such behavior, not the cause of human behavior. From this point of view, the identity of the individual is achieved through a given role and the implications between the actor and the audience. In addition, it is said that an individual's identity is not a stable and independent psychological entity, but that the person is constantly recreated by interacting with others. Like actors who act on stage.
There are three distinct areas in the Dramaturgy perspective. In Front stage, people are expected to express themselves in certain ways. Therefore, people are shown to play a given role in society. Back stage is spoken as an expression of self in everyday life, which means that you can freely express yourself away from a given role in a social situation.
Outside means a place where an individual is not involved in the performance.


2. interesting

There were quite a few things that I could relate to while reading this article. Playing a given role in consideration of factors such as the situation and relationships with people means that people play their parents' children at home and play the role of friends, lovers, or disciples outside. Except for the distinction of seemingly obvious roles, the subject and speech of the conversation also differ depending on who I am talking to.


3. discussion
 
According to the article, the image in the backstage tells the actor that he can move away from the character and act freely. So is the role of Front stage far from an individual's self-identity?

W1-1 Why am I taking this class?

Probably, I expect most of the students taking this class will answer similarly. I am taking this class to enhance my English skills as well as to improve my social knowledge. However, since the name of this class is ‘ Invitation to Sociology ’ and the class is run in English, I am expecting to deal issues that are not only limited nationally, but also international issues, which might be hard to cover in other classes that run in Korean. I also guess that by using English to search information, I would be able to find much more information compared to researching in Korean. Therefore, by taking this class, I expect that I might be able to gain general understanding of the overall sociology and learn skills how to deal with the vast amount of the information to find the main point of the material.

Week 1-1. Introduction to Sociology

1. Summary  Sociology is the study of what activities and thoughts human beings have as members of society. They are also interested in the structure of society and have a welfare system in place From small to big, the areas that society deals with vary. Sociological imagination allows individuals to deviate from self-centered perspectives and view the world as a common entity. This can interest others in their situations and encourage them to directly address the problem. So sociology is the study of understanding social events, collecting, analyzing and studying empirical data.  2.  Interesting   I found the story of sociological imagination interesting. When a social event happened, even people who had no direct connection with it came forward and wondered about the phenomenon of anger and solidarity together, but when I learned about the concept of sociological imagination, my curiosity was solved a little bit. People seem to be able to see irra...

W2-2 Introduction to Sociology/Sociological Methods

A Short Summary of ‘ Introduction to Sociology/Sociological Methods’ This part of the book is about the methods employed in sociology and some standards of the methods and what it tells us. In scientific methods, there are four steps. Characterization, hypothesis, prediction and testing. For the best prediction in scientific methods, we need to know the correct relationship between correlation and causation. It is important not to mistake correlation and causation. Also, quantitative and qualitative methods are two different approaches of sociological research. Depending on how we approach, we can classify objective approach, critical approach and subjective approach. Overall, it is important to obey ethics. Something I learned after reading ‘ Introduction to Sociology/Sociological Methods’ What I found interesting was that even though sociology is in the Liberal Arts, it includes different scientific methods. And by using these methods, we can make predictions and expl...
