Theatricality. Thoughts on a Paradigm of Cultural Theory

The initial point of my article is the term theatricality which is not only highly frequented & represented in the recent cultural & social study's discourse but also applied & applicable beyond the determinations of professions. In my opinion this term is still underdeveloped as a systematic sociological term, despite the long tradition of the metaphor of theatre. The term of theatricality seems to be particularly auspicious when using it as a theoretical perspective. In my article I'm making an attempt -- especially referring to Goffman -- to spread & precise the term of theatricality at the same time. This is planned to be the source of a theoretical development, that combines key-elements of both micro & macro sociology. References. Adapted from the source document.
