Social Interaction & Performance: Crash Course Sociology #15
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 сен 2024
- How do sociologists study and understand social interaction? Today we’ll explain the language sociologists use to discuss how we interact with the social world. What are statuses and roles? How are they different? How do you acquire them? We’ll talk about why these things matter by exploring the socially constructed nature of reality. We’ll also discuss the theory of dramaturgical analysis and how we can understand social interaction as in terms of theatrical performance.

I mean, if this is all a performance, someone really needs to hand me my script. It's kind of long overdue.
sorry the budget isnt big enough so we cant afford scripts or a director. so just improvise ok?
Yeah I don't know what to do.
On god 🤕
Social performance has always been one of the most interesting aspects of sociology. Our behaviors change profoundly in different settings. Cool stuff
She never mentioned how important deception is to all of this. We all use deception liberally as social grease.
Thank you for successfully summing up 45 pages of my textbook in less than 12 minutes!!
"Being the one standing in front of the classroom is 50% of what it takes to be the teacher" - i taught for a bit at a local college, this is very true :) Although, because i look fairly young, a lot of times students were surprised i was the teacher.
soo I'm early and I wanna use this to say thank you for giving me education that I otherwise couldn't ever have access to, crash course!
im in love.... with this information
I like crash course
K 07 Crash Course is great for this kind of material: higher-education-level course content that is accessible and provides enough information to effectively research more or just have a solid grasp of the concepts! Lifelong learning FTW!
Sociology is so cool because of how meta it can be.
Meta? You mean how it encompasses drama, philosophy, psychology, language, personal relations, ethics and so forth? I can see why they need to put everything in boxes, pretty hard to know what you're talking about otherwise.
I don't know how many episodes are left but an example of sociology in action would be great, perhaps something like what's being done to integrate Syrian refugees into western countries. There's been a bit of strife here in Canada and it reminds me of the Sons of Freedom Doukhobors who also had a tough time fitting in.
In the case of the Freedomites their tactics of arson and taking off their clothes in court seemed to enrage the status quo warriors.
All this talk about rolls is making me hungry.
Eric Nash lol
I kept waiting for the Shakespeare quote "all the world's a stage", but it never came XP
"...and all that men, women, merely players."
So that what it means. I keep hearing it after researching a technology or acquiring a civic in Civilization 6.
Kyle Dolor also Civ IV - read in that game by Leonard Nimoy! :)

"All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage"

this is the content I was waiting for from this course. love it
Thanks for reminding me of some of the reasons I don't socialize with people.
+
this is why social anxiety is so miserable. there are just so parts of socializing to think of and keep track of. so of course one (or i) would be mortified to make a mistake or misread a cue.
What you need is friends with low standards.
Limey Lassen What they need is a healthy relationship with an understanding and empathetic person.
Hey ARMY!
So much information in one brief 11 minute video that couldve easily been 45. It forces you to really soak in the information, pause rewind and make sure you caught it all if you really want to learn. Very engaging and interactive.
What a great video! I'd like to give my contribution by saying that the word "perform" is derived from the latin "per forma" which is literally "by form", that is, the way that things are/act given by their form. A chair perform well if you sit and it doesn't break. A medic (by the way, not all medics are doctors, please stop refering them as if) perform well if the patient gets better. This complements what has been said in the video, so perform well everyone! :D
Oh man, this explains a lot about me as a kid, haha. We're pretty sure I have Asperberger's (a "light-weight" type of autism), and I've had a lot of issues with social roles in my life, telling them apart and so. For example, one of my teachers moved into the apartment beneath ours when I was in... Third-fifth grade, and I couldn't connect that I shouldn't leave my homework to them as soon as I was done upstairs. "Thankfully" the shame and anxiety of only doing it once was enough, but man... I think that was something I struggled, and still struggle, with. Knowing how to treat a person when.
On an unrelated note, I do love today's styling. The nail polish and lipstick compliment the shirt and jacket perfectly.
How do you deal with the social anxiety that comes with the Aspergers/HFA? Do you have friends and if so how do you manage your relationship?
"Impression management"... Oh boy, I wish Erving Goffman could have seen the social media!
Its like how I am sometimes shy to talk to people but I am okay with talking to the camera.. indirectly at many people!
Mr IY Unintended or not, what you just did is a neat way to get people to look at your channel! ;)
Alot of people have the reverse issue (cant talk to a camera) and I
wonder if it is because the camera doesnt give feedback/social cues....?
Pus we rarely see others perform this activity (as its done in
private) so knowing what is expected, or how the process is supposed to
look, is guesswork. I say "So" waaaay too much if i talk to a
camera-its horrible and requires lots of editing...
I wonder if, for people like you, the removal of immediate socia criticism, takes the pressure off? very interesting...thanks for bringing this up...enjoyed theorizing about it!
There's lots of really cool, interesting research on the ways in which people experience the strange form of socializing that is vlogging. A personal favorite is Michael Wesch's "RUclips and You", (which is short & freely available -- he also has some talks on his work that are available on RUclips) but if you're more broadly interested in academics talking RUclips, Jean Burgess and Joshua Green are sort of go-to names.
Nicole Sweeney Thank you for the info Nicole, really appreciate you helping. And yes Vlogging is really a very helpful and cool way to overcome any sort of social anxiety. Also it feels great when you are putting on your views and you know 500 people are gonna watch it :)
I originally got into YT & vlogging for similar reasons. I was in a bad place and it gave me a good outlet to express myself. Now I'm creating new and amazing things!
i love this 80s daytime executive realness
yaaas
I do what I can.
this is sooo good!! I feel like this explains so many issues people have with society, politics, religion.
This has to be one of the hardest concepts to personally actualise so far, and I love it. It's astonishing how much I'm learning about myself and my past from this series, thanks guys :)
This was so helpful! Thank you so much! And kudos for being able to talk about identities without using the word identity. The Internet these days is very very intimidated by this word...
This was an exciting episode! I'm loving this course!
You guys have no idea how helpful this crash course is! I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! ^-^ THANK YOU TO EVERYONE IN THE MAKING.
Great job, Nicole!
This video, laden with profound erudition, also brings to mind a very famous quote by William Shakespeare in one of his plays...and thank you, crash course, for making me better educated with each of your presentations!
Right now I am performing the "viewer role"
Now, I am performing the commenter role.
I just got this video linked to me in my sociology summer class from my local community college! how awesome is that!
CrashCourse never disappoints!
Keep up the good work guys!
I like how the comments section moved away from that "sociology is not a science" thing. That's because we finally got to its object. The object of a science is what decides how to handle that object, and that's why those guys who just wanted to throw up some unexamined abstract truths about scientific knowledge are utterly wrong: they passed kilometers away from any actual stopping and seeing the phenomena. The way you understand sociology is different from how you understand physics, thas't different from biology, etc because their objects demand different approaches, that's all.
As someone with aspergers, I have to say that this whole nonsense about acting a play in life just confirms my theory that non autistic people are inherently crazy.
Lol, I actually did talk about how my last relationship ended with the last person I dated. Now we are getting married. I pretty much opened up to her about anything and everything she wanted to know and she appreciated the honesty. Plus., I don't want to have a partner who I hide things from just because they may not be the most prettiest aspect of me. I want someone who'll accept me for me, and not who I pretend to be socially by hiding facts about myself. I found that person who accepts me for me.
I hope next episodes address that not all sociologists agree with the actor metaphor.
maybe someone can help me think. I am unable to emotionally connect to social status, and when I try to reason out statuses I can't find it useful to give value to them. I don't like hierarchical systems I think they are doomed to fail and being higher on the pole dose no grant you anything more from me then being on the bottom would. I don't care for big loads of money or trying to be like someone else. but mainly miscommunication is my middle name. I hate many preformed rituals and would rather separate my self from them, but I love to talk about the reasons that groups preform their rituals, witch majority of the time has me ignored by the rest of the group. So, my question is how do I fit into this performance if I don't understand it's value.
"Impression Management" I can finally have a proper phrase for this behavior that I've seen EVERYWHERE. This is how people get jobs and married. LOL
This CrashCourse series is helping me a lot with my university courses! Thanks!
that is a very interesting and brilliant answer to why your friend helped u answer the teacher's question but i think its much simpler than that: your friend is a kind person.
5:20 This happened to me when my closest friend died. I quite my job and broke up with my boyfriend at the same time. I never knew there was a term for it! Thank you
Would "code-switching" be an example of the dramaturgical approach of social interactions? Also is there a paper supporting/not supporting this?
Thank you, Nicole!
The dramaturgical analisys of social interaction reminds me of the books of italian author Luigi Pirandello, who wrote about characters whose social reality was in some way destroyed or just ripped off from their eyes, leaving them to witness life (non social reality) instewad of forms (socially constructed reality)
I would recommend them to anyone here
I am surprised there was no mention of Carl Jung and his concept of the mask - we wear different "mask" depending on the social scene we're in. All in all, this was definitely one of my favourite episodes on Crash Course
Talking a little about social interaction, as also indicated in the video, it is more like a phenomenon which keeps taking place almost all the time and everywhere. Whether the he/she be at school, playground, hospital, courtroom or any other place as well, there are always interactions taking place between himself/herself and his/her environment.
The concept of world being a “stage” and “social roles” (being played by people) were discussed and that puts some light on the origins of “morality”, decision making, expectations, outcomes, comparison and the concept of idealism. Also indicating that the concepts of social interaction and self-concept are inter-related and can evolve.
Further an important conclusion was drawn that most of the time how people react or in other words play their “roles”, is driven by their belief of how others would react. This also validates the quote by Aristotle, “man is a social animal”.
Do something about social classes in a highschool setting.
wow i think thik this was the most interesting sociology episode! :)
If you want to build a solid understanding of Goffman I recommend reading Mead (1910)Social Consciousness and the Consciousness of Meaning. Bare in mind he's very old fashioned, quite sexist and racist. But his work social interaction is core to some of the work made by Goffman.
The recap at the end is so extremely useful.
It helped me so much for my sociology paper
I like how you didn't even address the point that dramaturgical analysis (at least in the pure form you described) has pretty GLARING major flaws. For example: a lot of sociological theory struggles when it comes to altruism, but for dramaturgical theory this is espiceally and obviously true. Perhaps, the child whispers the right answer to you because they are nice, perhaps because they like you, perhaps because of genetics that promote counterintuitive altruism. Maybe the child just whispers the answer to you because they are obeying the golden rule and know how it feels to get called on when they don't know the answer. Sure, dramaturgical theory can explain why THE TEACHER, who hears both your answer AND THE STUDENT WHO WHISPERED IT TO YOU, would accept the answer and go on with his or her OWN performance. He doesn't really care about your answer or the fact that the other student helped you cheat, they just care about the performance, and not even for the students, who the teacher surely must know also heard the whisper, but for some unseen, recognized, non-existant higher power. THAT is the true power of dramaturgical theory. And you didn't even touch on it. By ignoring the flaws and the ironies that dramaturgical theory explains, you do us all a real unjustice. Espicially sense, your 20th Century theory requires a 19th Century example of a student with a teacher in a classroom. Does dramatugical theory explain RUclips educational videos? Am I only giving a performance on Twitter, or is that MY REAL self, because after all I am in my underwear, and rather than deny it, I can own it, and even be admired for it. Or maybe that, too, is a performance and not even I really know the truth of myself.
I was engaged from beginning to end. Great job!
do one on SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS AND HEALTH
These videos are fascinating and an excellent aid for my sociology course, thank you!!
God, these videos are so eye opening and well-done. If only our education system could be so competent!
Teaching sociology and computer programming along side each other. I see what you're doing, SciShow.
I wonder how much thought goes into how these structures interact with outside forces. Like your feelings don't really define your role performance, but they do affect it.
I love this video, thank you for creating it, it’s helped me understand a lot.
Thank you, I did not find information in Spanish, this is incredible.
hello great video, I have a question and I really hope I can have an answer, how talk and interaction can develop social order ??
"Your glasses don't match your blazer. Socially unacceptable." - 1st period Sociology Class
Jacob Parson wow this is so relatable
This parson dude is so relatable wow
Preach 🙏🏻
Retweet
mr. Parson kinda looks like that guy on the projector
I dig the blazer!! This topic has got me googling!!
Thank you for acknowledging Goffman's Canadian-ness :)
Nicely correlated and explained..about social interaction and relavant factors
Thanks for teaching it. Huge Gratitude.
Extraordinary explanation. Thanks for that video..
Thanks to this course I'm noticing many things! Thanks, like, really, thank you!
This is the best channel ever madr
I would love to see a video on communication in workteams
I wanna hear about the rest of symbolic interactionism in the next video!
"Expect the unexpected" - phrase uttered growing up. I learned about status during Old World of Darkness RP. . . I was never a fan;+ after learning deductive versus inductive. . . and watching too many movies; people make inductive actions for self gain. And everyone is having a slightly different experience.
I totally agree with the social structure described, but I never really felt immersed in it. I think some "small" groups also separated from the team. Breaking the structure and dynamic. Silly idealistic philosophy structure.
Superb episode!
I loved this video!!!! you look great!
Hi Nicole! I am really enjoying your videos about sociology on crash course. Could you please give me book titles and authors on which I can study and deepen my knowledge? In particular, which are the books inthe background? Thank you😊
awesome episode thanks
Wow! Thanks for the super informative video! I need a huge graphic organizer for all this :'D
Excellent video
Bless u crash course, bless u !
My beliefs. Only Achieved status should be considered when judging a person for anything, Including for employment and incarceration, and second, Ascribed status should always be explicitly barred from ever being a master status, for anyone. guess what? racism and sexism solved.
therealquade they would just call that color blindness and call you a tacit racist...
THE BEST ONE CAN GET..LOVE FROM INDIA
Keep up the good work ! Awesome lecture !
half of the lesson.. im like im in love with the lecturer.. but i learn a lot
I thank you , i truely thank you sharing what you’ve got of knowledge with the world and generations to come exaggeration? No.
It`s so engaging to watch your sociology series every time. Thank you a lot for making them)
I would really like to hear about the fan phenomenon. I was always wondering where does it come from and why can we become so obsessed about things. I have a 1 year old sister and she is already a hysterical fan of Mickey Mouse and she can't even talk yet)
I also feel like this is something relatively new in society. Or am I wrong? Hope you will help!
There's lots of cool academic research on fan studies. Henry Jenkins is a good place start if you want to read more -- he's been writing about fans (and media studies more broadly) since the early 90s and he has a blog you can check out. Also Matt Hills's book Fan Cultures is one of my favorites.
Ow, thanks a lot!
so is there gonna be another or is this the last one? (i ask because you usually give a preview of next time's lesson) I sure hope it isnt the end!
More episodes are coming! There will be 46 episodes in all, so we've got a ways to go!
I would love it if you could use more academic terms like dissonance and social identity maybe some habitus😊
I love crash course. LIKE PLEASE
this video was sooo good
This is possibly the most interesting crash course video I've ever watched. Whoever wrote it did a great job. Is that the person speaking who wrote it? Or somebody else?
We have two writers for Crash Course Sociology, each writing half of the episodes. This one was written by Steven Lauterwasser, who is brilliant. (The other half are written by Joanna Venator, who is also brilliant.) Dr. Ramon Hinojosa is our content consultant and he wrote out the syllabus, so our talented writers are basing the scripts off of his outlines and notes. They're also helped along by our fantastic chief content editor, Blake De Pastino. (Host of Eons!)
We're fortunate to have lots of very smart, talented people bringing these episodes to life.
"Reality is socially constructed"
Partially
Even the words, symbols and concepts we use to describe the motions of the heavens are socially constructed
Whether you believe there is an underlying objective reality is not really relevant to a discussion about sociology
everything you hold dear is only a figment of our labels, like numbers work on a logarithmic scale because we have 10 fingers
The symbols are indeed socially constructed, they are our tool to understand reality. However reality itself is not a social construct.
What I think she meant was: the rolls we preform are socially constructed.
She seems to use "social reality" as a shorthand for "the rolls we preform", but then forgot the word "social".
No. There's a well known theory among sociologists called the social construction of reality.
hitobite the way humans see the world is socially constructed
you might say objective reality underlies all social constructs, but that would be a bit reductionist
who would have guessed that I would love sociology.
you are so great mam
and very intelligent
thank u so much
so is the "Role theory" (and so everything that Goffman said about the performance etc) part of the social interaction theory ?
The homie Goffman, it wouldn't have been a social interaction class without him. Also you should have included Norbot Elias too :p
How much effect does pop culture have on influencing our background assumptions, experiences and socialization of certain roles?
I'm performing my role as a youtube commenter by saying that the comments in here are gonna be arguing about something or other
Glad to say you're wrong. From what I see, a lot of the comments are positive and helpful.
*Random offtopic comment about sociology not being a science*
zealous bashing of the above comment degrading into personal attack
*Reductio ad Hitlerum*
Comment about how you're all wasting your time arguing
This stuff gives me serious anxiety
Jessica Brauman DUDE SAME THANK GOD U ARE HERE TOO
Yea, this episode is blatantly depressing, as it tells you that being non conformist, behave and act the way you naturally desire will make you a social outcast which may lead to solitude, sadness, substance abuse and early death, however it may lead to positive scenarios if you learn how to make money without conventional job, find people you can be yourself and enjoy life.
Thank you for such a great video, can you please share the references you used for the video as well? :) or introduce some related books or paper?
Status inconsistency sounds like my life, lol.
Gotta love role conflict
What is the difference between a status set and a social location?
List the instances of communication that the student engaged in using social interaction function can u answer that please
Cool video!
All this complicated theatrical stuff is what makes me which I was born a polar bear, or another mammal that doesn't live in groups. I think I'd be happier even as an amoeba!
6:03 "reality itself is socially constructed" ... i take issue with this. "reality" is way too broad a word to use here. social interactions are socially constructed, and the things people believe CAN also be socially constructed. but all of reality? no.
