Packet 8: Tossup 14

A 1974 book describes how “social” situations named for this field begin with a rule-breaking “breach,” followed by a crisis and possible “irreparable schism.” The journal PAJ focuses on cross-disciplinary “studies” named for this field and was co-founded by Richard Schechner. After working on (15[1])liminality, (15[2])Victor Turner (15[1])studied the symbolic action of this discipline (15[1]-5[1])in books like From Ritual to [it]. (-5[2])Assessment (-5[1])of a polity as a (*) “hydraulic bureaucracy” (-5[1])is rejected (-5[1])in favor of a model named for this field (10[2])in an ethnography of the “Negara” political system on (10[2])Bali. (10[3])A sociologist drew on this field (10[1])to describe practices of “impression (-5[1])management” in “front” and “back” (10[1])places. (10[4])For 10 points, Erving (10[3])Goffman’s (10[1])The (10[1])Presentation (10[3])of (10[1])Self (10[1])in Everyday (10[2])Life borrows terms from what field such as “cues”? (10[2])■END■ (10[9]0[4])

ANSWER: theater [or acting; or drama; or performance; accept dramaturgy or dramaturgical analysis; accept the stage; accept social dramas; accept performance studies; accept the theatre state; accept Dramas, Fields, and Metaphors; accept From Ritual to Theater] (The first sentence refers to Victor Turner’s theory of social drama; the fourth sentence refers to Clifford Geertz’s Negara: The Theatre State in 19th Century Bali)
