Abstract

SCHEIBE, Karl E. The person as actor, the actor as person: Personality from a dramaturgical perspective. Psicol. educ. [online]. 2010, n.31, pp. 65-78. ISSN 1414-6975.

The article starts from the view that one should look at everyday life as a drama, a place where the "actors" act in reality beyond simple predictions. Starting from this premise, the text brings an analysis based on the following questioning: according to the multiple perspectives of drama - what is personality? And how can we understand the attempt of evaluating and describing of personalities from the dramaturgy point of view? These questions are discussed as much as from acting criticism to the performance of some psychologists that for many times ignore just as much all the dramaturgic richness of human beings, as the analysis of personality evaluations in specific social contexts.

Keywords : Personality; dramaturgy; everyday life.
