Goffman: laços sociais


Imagem extraída de: http://www.horst-helle.de/goffmand.htm

«The bonds that tie the individual to social entities of different sorts themselves exhibit common properties. Whether the entity is an ideology, a nation, a trade, a family, a person, or just a conversation, the individual's involvement in it will have the same general features. He will find himself with obligations: some will be cold, entailing alternatives foregone, work to be done, service rendered, time put in it, or money paid; some will be warm, requiring him to feel belongingness, identification, and emotional attachment. Involvement in a social entity, then, entails both commitment and an attachment
