ABSTRACT

In Chapter 3 we saw how we place our discourses in the world through a complex set of social performances. This interaction order, as Goffman calls it, is the way we accomplish our spoken, face-to-face discourse in the world and it is also the indexable world we use in this discourse. Now in this chapter we turn from the spoken, face-to-face discourses to the representations of that interaction order in images and signs.
