Melanija Belaj ; Institut za etnologiju i folkloristiku

Abstract

In this article, the author has tested E. Goffman's theory of presentation on material collected for writing her Master's thesis. The research was conducted over the 2003 to 2005 period on the territory of the city of Zagreb. The presentational perspective as suggested by E. Goffman is applicable in the case of family photographs, particularly in activities which, according to Richard Chalfen, the American visual anthropologist, relate to the act of presenting and showing photographs.
