thesis

The sunglasses as cultural signal / The sunglasses as a medium of self-expiression and be in hide

The theses start understanding shortly philology of the self-expression and then walking us through the non-verbal, physical signs of communicating the self to the outside world until the importance of the eyes, glares, peeks and sights. Through these themes we will arrive to the sunglasses as a physical medium of the sight. The essay then will go along with the short history of sunglasses then will end presenting Goffman's front stage theory.
