Provide a brief summary of your understanding of symbolic interactionism, analyzing, in turn, the three premises of this theoretical position as articulated by Herbert Blumer. Connect this to Goffman’s dramaturgical approach; how do the roles, scripts, costumes, and impression management that we use reflect a form of symbolic interaction. Finally, give an example of how you would apply dramaturgical analysis to your everyday life-specifically accounting for each element noted by Kivisto.
