Crash Course Sociology #15: Social Interaction & Performance

Curated by ACT

This video focuses on social interaction and performance; it is the 15th episode of the Crash Course Sociology. 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. [11:37]
