Synopsis "Strategic Interaction"

The two essays in this classic work by sociologist Erving Goffman deal with the calculative, gamelike aspects of human interaction. Goffman examines the strategy of words and deeds; he uses the term "strategic interaction" to describe gamelike events in which an individual's situation is fully dependent on the move of one's opponent and in which both players know this and have the wit to use this awareness for advantage. Goffman aims to show that strategic interaction can be isolated analytically from the general study of communication and face-to-face interaction.

The first essay addresses expression games, in which a participant spars to discover the value of information given openly or unwittingly by another. The author uses vivid examples from espionage literature and high-level political intrigue to show how people mislead one another in the information game. Both observer and observed create evidence that is false and uncover evidence that is real.

In "Strategic Interaction," the book's second essay, action is the central concern, and expression games are secondary. Goffman makes clear that often, when it seems that an opponent sets off a course of action through verbal communication, he really has a finger on your trigger, your chips on the table, or your check in his bank. Communication may reinforce conduct, but in the end, action speaks louder.

Those who gamble with their wits, and those who study those who do, will find this analysis important and stimulating.

Erving Goffman (1922–1982) fue un sociólogo canadiense-estadounidense, considerado uno de los pensadores más influyentes del siglo XX en el campo de las ciencias sociales. Nació en Mannville, Alberta, en una familia de inmigrantes judíos ucranianos. Comenzó sus estudios en la Universidad de Manitoba y luego se trasladó a la Universidad de Toronto, donde obtuvo su licenciatura en sociología en 1945. Posteriormente, completó su maestría y doctorado en la Universidad de Chicago, donde desarrolló su tesis sobre la comunidad de la isla de Unst en las Islas Shetland.
Goffman es reconocido por su enfoque en la microsociología, centrando su atención en las interacciones cara a cara y los rituales sociales cotidianos. Su obra más destacada, La presentación de la persona en la vida cotidiana (1959), introduce la metáfora de la vida social como una obra teatral, donde las personas desempeñan roles según el contexto y la audiencia. Otras obras significativas incluyen Asylums (1961), que analiza la vida en instituciones totales, y Estigma (1963), que estudia cómo las personas manejan identidades socialmente desacreditadas.
A lo largo de su carrera, Goffman fue profesor en diversas instituciones, incluyendo la Universidad de California en Berkeley y la Universidad de Pensilvania. En 1981, fue elegido presidente de la American Sociological Association. Su legado perdura en la sociología contemporánea, especialmente en el estudio de las interacciones sociales y la construcción de la identidad.
