For many years, the concept “backstage” referred to the part of the theater behind the stage, and then gained a place in sociology and other social sciences. Erving Goffman uses the concept to describe a social environment where people, after leaving a situation involving visible and audible communication, can act free of the standards regulating that situation. What Goffman presents as a frame to describe some sections of societal life has been used by other researchers to elucidate the specific behavior of actors in backstage situations.
