CFP for AAA 2002: Face-Work

[Steve J. Albert]

Call for Papers: New Approaches to Face-Work in Verbal Interaction
American Anthropological Association Meeting, New Orleans, November 2002

In his seminal 1955 article "On Face-Work: An Analysis of Ritual Elements in
Social Interaction," Erving Goffman defined "face" as "an image of self
delineated in terms of approved social attributes." I am organizing a panel
for this year's AAA meetings that will consider ways in which Goffman's
conceptualization of social interaction as "face-work" can be productively
applied to various linguistic practices. I am particularly interested in
assembling a collection of papers from diverse contexts that extend the
application of the concept beyond the notions of "politeness" already
considered in detail by Brown & Levinson and others.

If interested, please e-mail me at the address below.

Thanks,

Steve
