Dramaturgy is used in sociology to mean that our social life
is like a drama or stage performance. In this picture are all of my “costumes”
that I use for all of my different roles in life. There is my work costume, my
school costume, my date night costume, and my relaxing costume. Every action we
do is a part of a performance. We put on different acts in different
situations, but they are all still an act. Our social life comes with costumes,
props and lines and it is up to us to put on a five star performance at all
times. This theory was brought into thinking by sociologist Erving Goffman and
it is still a crucial part today.
