Emergent Sociality: A Dialectic of Commitment and Order

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

A conversation has a life of its own and makes demands on its own behalf. It is a little social system with its own boundary maintaining tendencies; it is a little patch of commitment and loyalty with its own heroes and its own villains. (Goffman 1967:113) 1990 Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction
