In Frame Analysis, the sociologist Erving Goffman presents a rigorous and groundbreaking examination of the social frameworks through which individuals organize and interpret their lived experience. Drawing on a vast array of examples from everyday life, theatre, sports, and media, Goffman argues that reality itself is not a fixed given but a continually negotiated construction, shaped by the frames — cognitive schemata — that people apply to make events meaningful and intelligible.\n\nPublished originally in 1974, Frame Analysis stands as one of the most ambitious and intellectually daring works in twentieth-century sociology and social psychology. Goffman's signature style — meticulous, playful, and relentlessly observational — strips away the taken-for-granted assumptions underlying human interaction, revealing the extraordinary complexity beneath the surface of the ordinary. A landmark in microsociology and symbolic interactionism, this work challenges readers to question the very foundations of social reality and ask: when we say something is real, what frame are we already standing inside?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160896348379,"sku":"2026200013663-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/56ec1a4e-5d96-4bae-914a-ae5e179ef41a.png?v=1787188203","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013663-secondhand-frame-analysis","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
