Abstract | This paper examines how the sheer volume of personal information recorded and searchable online (online artifacts) has transformed the situated activity system central to Goffman’s dramaturgical theories. In-depth interviews reveal that individuals believe disembodied information based on online artifacts is a more accurate representation of others than embodied information from spatially and temporally bounded face-to-face processes because they represent how others have behaved over time and are attested by their online contacts. However, the n-adic structure of online interaction leads to mismatched expectations about whether disembodied information is taken into account during face-to-face encounters, and consequently can result in embarrassment. |
