Systems of Social Action delves into the intricate world of social interactions through the lens of everyday requests, showing how our simplest ordinary actions are tied to complex social dynamics. It demonstrates that requesting is more than just asking: it is a nuanced form of social influence that shapes and maintains relationships. Through detailed analyses of real-life interactions within Italian communities, author Giovanni Rossi explores various strategies for making requests: from just gesturing at an object to telling or asking someone to do something to expressing a collective need: Finally, Rossi proposes that these strategies constitute a system of social action that subtly governs human behavior.
The purpose of the volume—as with the other volumes published in the Anthem Press “Companion to Sociology” series—is to provide a comprehensive overview of Erving Goffman’s continued appeal and relevance within the field of sociology and related social science disciplines. The book engages with some of the major themes and continuing concerns of Goffman’s sociology. The chapters included in the volume deal with some important aspects of Goffman’s life and work that made him into the enigma that he was.
The Contemporary Goffman highlights the continued relevance of Goffman to sociology and related disciplines – to theoretical discussions as well as to substantive empirical research – through contributions dealing with a variety of topics and themes.
