OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT LINK TO THE THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

For Goffman (2006) there is a multiplicity of identities which he summarises in three: personal identity, social identity and the self All three are in a state of symbiosis The identity of the self is associated with a self-conception as a person, while the other two are associated with the social context and the subject's interactions with it. Within these identities, which are largely constructed by the context, there are a series of attributes that according to Goffman (2006) can be of prestige, referring to those that benefit the individual, and stigmas that hinder the construction of the identity of the self and make it negative. The two identities that are fully affected by this are the social and personal identities because they are, in the words of Goffman (2006): "The expectations and definitions that other people have of the individual On the other hand, the identity of the self is, in the first place, a reflexive subjective matter, which must necessarily be experienced by the individual".
