Goffman strongly influenced American sociology and psychology not only by examining everyday life situations (microsociology) but also what he called total institutions - asylums, prisons, hospitals, among others. His work dialogues with social psychology and classical sociological theories, such as that of the German Max Weber.

The book The Presentation of the Self in Everyday Life became known for inaugurating an analogy between human interaction and theater (psychodrama), in the sense of looking at social life as a representation that individuals make at all times of themselves whose function is attract others and interact with them.

These stagings are made as impressions that some try to take from others and that ends up allowing a bigger staging: a real social theater.
