6 Rousseau made this argument in response to DâAlembertâs claim that Geneva needed a theater (J. J. Rousseau, Letter to DâAlembert and Other Writings on the Theater [(1758) Hanover: University Press of New England, 2004]). The significance of this text was recognized by Lionel Trilling, Sincerity and Authenticity (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1974).
7 This statement is slightly inaccurate. Rousseau was well aware of the attractions of disentanglement, and is best interpreted as torn between the desire for connectedness and the longing to be solitary.

11 Ibid., 41.
12 Durkheimâs views are made especially clear in his 1898 essay âIndividualism and the Intellectuals,â Political Studies 17 (1969). Goffman himself draws attention to the link to Durkheim in his âOn the Nature of Deference and Demeanour,â in Interaction Ritual.
13 Goffman, âOn the Nature of Deference and Demeanour,â 85.
14 Ibid., 90.
15 Such practices are termed âaccess ritualsâ in his Relations in Public (London: Allen Lane, 1972), 107â10.
16 Ibid., 322.
17 Goffman, âOn the Characteristics of Total Institutions,â in Asylums.
18 E. Goffman, âRole Distance,â in his Encounters (London: Allen Lane, 1972). The sociologist seeking to escape social determinism is Peter Berger, Invitation to Sociology (New York: Anchor, 1963), 135â36.
19 This aspect of Goffmanâs work is seen in his book dealing with spies and strategies, Strategic Interaction (Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1972).
20 This paradox was clearly recognized by M. Hindus, The Proustian Vision (New York: Columbia University Press, 1954), especially in the chapter âEthics.â
21 I have in mind their pessimistic views on the self-defeating quality of love.

24 Ibid., 16; emphasis in original.
25 Truffaut came from a poor background, and the praise of society has real teeth in consequence, as it can be read as a critique of the wilder fantasies of May 1968.
