Goffman’s concept of “face” and “line” and how people use communication to “maintain their definition of the situation.”

1. Earlier in the course we read about Goffman’s concept of “face” and “line” and how people use communication to “maintain their definition of the situation.” Discuss one example from these readings where Goffman addresses how teams go about maintaining their “definition of the situation.” 2. Explain your understanding of Goffman’s concepts “reciprocal dependance” and “reciprocal familiarity.” How do these apply to team performances? 3. Goffman introduces two concepts in his article on “Staging Talk,” including “team collusion” and “derisive collusion.” Explain these two concepts and provide an example of one from your own experience.
