چکیده:
Goffman is one of the social theorists of the second half of the twentieth century who for a long time was considered a marginal figure in sociological theory. Using the tools that meta-theory provides to researchers for criticizing and reviewing theories, we have moved toward Goffman's dramaturgical theory. Goffman holds a special position in the field of sociological theory. On one hand, he is seen as a sociology lacking a general theory, a loner, outside the mainstream of theoretical thought, and a creator of self-made and strange terminology; on the other hand, the connections of his thought with Durkheim, Simmel, the symbolic interactionism school, ethnomethodology, and his effort to establish the sociology of everyday life make him a theorist with a special position. To create his theoretical perspective, he used many intellectual resources. The main goal of this article is to provide a clear insight into Goffman's social theory (Dramaturgical theory / Theatrical performance) with a reflective and meta-theoretical perspective. The results of this research show that Goffman's dramaturgical theory possesses good theoretical coherence.

On one hand, he is regarded by sociologists as lacking a general theory, being a loner, outside the mainstream of theoretical thought, and a creator of self-made and strange terminology; on the other hand, the connections of his thought with Durkheim, Simmel, the symbolic interactionism school, ethnomethodology, and his effort to establish the sociology of everyday life, transform him into a theorist with a special position.
" This level of sociological study, which is one of the most significant innovations of this field in the years following World War II, includes discovering the domain of social everyday life and explaining its impact on human relations.
The external dimension refers to influential phenomena outside the social environment, and the intellectual dimension expresses factors related to the structural and epistemological aspects of sociology, such as theories, meta-theoretical tools, and ideas borrowed from other scientific disciplines, while the social dimension includes contextual, individual, and social factors.
Many of Goffman's works are sociological elaborations of the principles of "role theory"; a school in social psychoanalysis that analyzes human performance in the domains of meaning crystallization within specific social roles.
Goffman was influenced by Simmel's view that interactions are not necessarily small and micro forms of social processes; rather, they are generators and creators of social order, and it is better for sociology to prefer formal analysis over interpretive descriptions (Travers, 1992).
In order to demonstrate the interpretive process that causes the sense of reality to emerge, Goffman has compared our everyday interactions with theatrical performances by providing a dramaturgical analysis.
