»I've owned a copy of Ludwig Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations for years, but I read it the way Everett Hughes told me to read the sociological writings of Georg Simmel: not to get a full understanding of what the author might have meant, but rather as a way of generating ideas I could use in my own research and thinking.« (Howard Becker, »Tricks of the Trade«)

While Goffman often made it appear as though the self was nothing w/o the situation, we show that in places Goffman wasnt interested in the positive attributes of self, but rather where things he took for granted as "normal" attributes of the self were stripped from them, forcibly or through cultural beliefs, we can see the outlines of an affectually motivated self.
