Week 11: Dramaturgy (sociology)


1. Summary
Dramaturgy is a sociological perspective commonly used in micro-social descriptions of social interactions in everyday life. A dramatic view is one of several sociological paradigms separated from other sociological theories because it analyzes context rather than investigating the causes of human behavior. So there is a conflict in sociology between the view of Dramaturgy as a theory and the view of the sociological paradigm. To identify its performance, there are seven important factors that Goffman proposed.
In this analysis, teams are individual groups that work together to share a 'party line' and the steps represent three areas where you can find multiple individuals with different roles and different information. The steps are divided into three stages: front, rear, and outer.
And we have to keep the audience from getting information in many performances, and some special roles are created to do this. Roles can be divided into three groups. The first role is to address operational information and team boundaries. This includes the reporter, thread, and spoiler. The second role is to promote interaction between the two different teams. The third role is to mix the front and rear areas.
Dramaturgy has also been applied to new interdisciplinary areas in the field of academic research, known as techno self-research. For example, bloggers and readers share a social environment in the form of online platforms in connection with blogging that deals with human identity in a technical society. And theater performances can be applied in all aspects of theater performers.

2. Interesting
Most sociological theories investigate the causality of human behavior, and it was interesting that the dramatic view was not to investigate the causes of human behavior, but to analyze the context. So it was interesting to read about the difference of opinion, whether this is a theory or a paradigm.

3. Discussion
Think about whether you should see a dramatic view as a theory or a paradigm and tell me why.

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...
