Erving Goffman
Collins links Goffman more to social anthropology than to symbolic interactionism.Influenced by the former, he held a distinctive perspective which had a powerful influence on the latter. It could be argued that he had a hand in shaping another creative sociology-ethno methodology. Recognized as a symbolic interactionist,he remained best known for his dramaturgical theory.
