The Presentation Of Self In Everyday Life (Coffman 1956) w1721352 https://padlet.com/w1721352/nbpmp82mfdo8pb84/wish/1312703639 - Dramaturgical account of the social world. We play different roles throughout our daily life. We all act differently in public compared to private where we are more intimate. 
Two types of audience, Frontstage and Backstage. Frontstage = Where you perform many roles. How we act when we have an audience around us. A sense of being observed. 
Backstage = How we behave and feel when freed from public expectations and norms. Where the performer can step out of character. ]]> 2021-03-15 20:20:06 UTC https://padlet.com/w1721352/nbpmp82mfdo8pb84/wish/1312703639 2.) The Presentation of Self In Everyday Life w1721352 https://padlet.com/w1721352/nbpmp82mfdo8pb84/wish/1312782204 - I definitely agree with Coffman's view because the way we react in front of people is different compared to how we would act privately. Furthermore, we also act different according to the different people we are around. How we would react with our mother is different to how we would act with a sibling. When we are in our private space, we automatically sigh a sense of relief, as we can be our own person. We just enjoy our own company, and get on with our own personal duties. ]]> 2021-03-15 20:45:21 UTC https://padlet.com/w1721352/nbpmp82mfdo8pb84/wish/1312782204 3.) Subcultures - Where were the girls? (1960s/1970s) w1721352 https://padlet.com/w1721352/nbpmp82mfdo8pb84/wish/1312803971 - In the 1960/1970s subcultures were pretty male dominated. There was Mods and Punks. There was a patriarchal world view. Girls were not seen as important enough to be studied.
McRobbie and Garber 1976: Girls weren't absent but they were present elsewhere. The girls were backstage in the bedrooms. Girls could not occupy the streets the same way as boys do. Unequal pay, regulated femininity, double standards. Girls movements are very controlled as compared to boys. This is due to safety as well as double standards. Their sexual morality would be questioned. ]]> 2021-03-15 20:52:56 UTC https://padlet.com/w1721352/nbpmp82mfdo8pb84/wish/1312803971 4.) Subcultures - Where were the girls? (1960s/1970s) w1721352 https://padlet.com/w1721352/nbpmp82mfdo8pb84/wish/1312823203 - Girls created their own culture, backstage. Teenage consumer culture for girls, within their bedrooms. Rituals of trying on clothes, hairstyles, makeup, in their bedroom. Some of these styles worn out, some just kept to experiment on the bedroom. Girls often have their friends around, read together, listen to music. This was before social media. Nowadays young people don't hang around as much. Whole new realm of online space. Personally, I feel as though this is still common now within certain cultures. As some parents are quite strict, they tend to give the boys in the family more freedom compared to girls. The recent murder of Sarah  Everand, has also sparked a lot of problems in society, that need to be resolved.]]> 2021-03-15 20:59:51 UTC https://padlet.com/w1721352/nbpmp82mfdo8pb84/wish/1312823203 5.) Bedroom Culture (Lincoln 2012) w1721352 https://padlet.com/w1721352/nbpmp82mfdo8pb84/wish/1312873519 - Ethnography with 50 people between the age of 12 - 22. Half of them girls and half boys. Lincoln was able to spend time in their bedrooms, as she believed this was the most authentic approach. Bedrooms allow young people materiality. A bedroom is a identity marker. People who have divorced parents may have two bedrooms, but in each one they feel comfortable, and they are aware that this is their space. The bedroom can provide them with stability and security. Some objects and items hold sentimental value. A grown up may still have a toy they grew up with in their room. The theme of the room has changed completely, but these identity markers, are a part of this person's identity. ]]> 2021-03-15 21:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/w1721352/nbpmp82mfdo8pb84/wish/1312873519 6.) Bedroom Culture (Lincoln 2012) w1721352 https://padlet.com/w1721352/nbpmp82mfdo8pb84/wish/1312885387 - 'Zoning' = Allows young people to manage and maintain multiple relationships, experiences and expectations. Music and lighting can create multiple zones - Having LED lights, or even sitting in darkness. Chilling with headphones on, or listening to music extremely loud. These zones can integrate and merge. In your room you can have your revision notes up alongside a family picture. A bedroom in multifunctional, You have your bed in there to sleep, listen to music, have a table to do your work. Each item has it's own space in the bedroom. ]]> 2021-03-15 21:23:56 UTC https://padlet.com/w1721352/nbpmp82mfdo8pb84/wish/1312885387 7.) The Dangers of Bedrooms w1721352 https://padlet.com/w1721352/nbpmp82mfdo8pb84/wish/1312898131 - Bedrooms can now be seen as quite dangerous, with the introduction of social media and the internet. The expansion of technology has created a rise in depression, eating disorders and even anxiety. People are more exposed to harmful materials. Screen time is going up among the teenagers, especially with the pandemic. The pandemic has put us in a position where we've never been this lonely. It's taught us a completely new way of life. This has meant we've spent even more time in our bedrooms, and to even go out like normal, will be so different to how we done it before. ]]> 2021-03-15 21:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/w1721352/nbpmp82mfdo8pb84/wish/1312898131 8.) Bedrooms - Negative or Positive? w1721352 https://padlet.com/w1721352/nbpmp82mfdo8pb84/wish/1312909776 - I do believe bedrooms are a major part in everyone's lives. It gives us a chance to relax and take a step back from the outside world. But spending too much time in our bedrooms can also be harmful for our mental health. So a balance needs to be found. But what is the right balance is questionable. The bedroom should be seen as a sanctuary, whereas some people just see it as a place to sleep. Particularly younger people are more keen to have a well decorated bedroom, that expresses them. When it comes to older people, they may decide to not decorate at all, or just keep it very minimal. So it all depends on the type of person you are, and how you decide to express yourself.]]> 2021-03-15 21:34:28 UTC https://padlet.com/w1721352/nbpmp82mfdo8pb84/wish/1312909776 Bibliography w1721352 https://padlet.com/w1721352/nbpmp82mfdo8pb84/wish/1312942930 1.)
