Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following is not part of Erving Goffman's dramaturgical approach?

Routines

Narratives

Scripts

Structures

Erving Goffman's dramaturgical approach focuses on the presentation of self in social situations, using the metaphor of a theatrical performance. Routines, narratives, and scripts are all aspects of this approach, as they refer to the actions, storylines, and pre-written lines used to present oneself to others. Structures, on the other hand, do not specifically relate to the performative aspect of the approach, so it is not considered a part of Goffman's theory. Structures might refer to broader societal systems or institutions, which are not directly involved in the performance of self.
