Who is closely associated with the concept ‘Mortification of self’ ?
Answer: B
‘Mortification of self’ is associated with E. Goffman.
In Asylums (1961) Erving Goffman described how total institutions such as mental hospitals, prisons and monasteries strip newcomers of their former identity: through admission procedures, uniforms, loss of possessions and privacy, and humiliations, the inmate's self is 'mortified' and rebuilt to suit the institution.
Parsons, Blumer and Mead are associated with other concepts: the social system, symbolic interactionism as a named perspective, and the 'I' and 'me' respectively.
