Invent a short story which features examples of Goffman’s informant and shill.

You can use AI and talk to friends, but if your example is too similar to another one I heard, you will get no points.

Invent a short story which features examples of Goffman’s roles: spotter, non-person, service specialist, go-between and colleague.

Create a story that uses one or more (ideally all four) elements of dramaturgical communication out of character that we have learned in class: treatment of the absent, staging talk, realigning action, team collusion. Make sure to tie the explanation with the theory as presented on my slides or in the book (obligatory reading for the class, described in the syllabus). If you use other materials like online textbooks, etc. you can quote from and tell me what they are.

Create a story that uses one or more (ideally all four) elements of dramaturgical impression management out of character that we have learned in class: dramaturgical loyalty, circumspection and discipline, as well as protective techniques Make sure to tie the explanation with the theory as presented on my slides or in the book (obligatory reading for the class, described in the syllabus).

-- Today we will start practicing for the midterm. On midterm, you will watch a movie and you need to identify as many elements of Goffman’s dramaturgical theory in it as possible. Today our practice consists of watching the first segment of movie “The Sting”. Identify as many of Goffman elements in it as you can. In 40m or so we will have a discussion in which you will tell me what elements of his theory you have seen.

Make sure to tie the explanation with the theory as presented on my slides or in the book (obligatory reading for the class, described in the syllabus), and to discuss specific scenes from the movie (not just the generic plot outline). Use character names, specific settings, etc.

If the movie (or sound) stops, please restart it.

Design a map of a public space (park) using Whyte’s theory we have learned, You can work in a group (up to 3 people). You can do it on paper or digitally (Paint, https://inkarnate.com/ , anything).

If you complete the assignment in class and can show it to us on the big screen, you can get extra points. Otherwise, upload it to your blog (there is no official blog for the class; you can also present at the beginning of the next class).

Bonus question: can we get an AI to generate a map for us? Is it useful?

Bonus point: you can upload your map to Wikimedia Commons

Consider the nuclear peace theory, which seems nuclear weapons as the best guarantee of security. Do you agree it makes sense? And does it mean it is safer to live in a country that has nukes?

This time we will try to design a good street. You have 50 minutes to do so – make a small map (you can use paper or digital tools like incarnate, AI, etc.), and use Whyte’s theory (see my Prezi) to explain why the street is good.

Bonus point: you can upload your map to Wikimedia Commons
