Total Institutions and Reinvented Identities - Identity Studies in the Social Sciences
S. Scott
Why do people enter total institutions - places that confine and control them around the clock - and how does the experience change them? This book updates Goffman's classic model by introducing the Re-inventive Institution, where members voluntarily commit themselves to pursue regimes of self-improvement.
