Maps, Masks, Meshes, Misses and More: Metaphors in Search of Erving Goffman and Society
Colleagues among the most cited of scholars in communications and surveillance studies, and indeed the world, is Erving Goffman. The issues about information control, presentation and discovery he inspired have only gained in prominence over the last six decades. Looking back and at his work and the scholarship of so many others, I offer the above interpretations. Critical responses and suggestions are always welcomed, if not expected. Keep the faiths. Respectfully, Gary

This is a big thank-you, Professor Marx. I am downsizing, having retired, in preparation of a future move and have donated hundreds and hundreds of books to former students and the Friends of the Library (public library in my town). BUT Erving Goffman's books will stay with me wherever I end up.

Speaking of Goffman books, a new handbook has just been published that
(while expensive in the way such books often are) may be of interest:
