The things which a nurse does for post-operative patients on the surgical floor are frequently of recognizable importance, even to patients who are strangers to hospital activities. For example, the patient sees his nurse changing bandages, swinging orthopedic frames into place, and can realize that these are purposeful activities.
Medical nursing... The physician's diagnosis must rest upon careful observation of symptoms over time where the surgeon's are in larger part dependent on visible things. The lack of visibility creates problems on the medical nurse. A patient will see his nurse stop at the next bed and chat for a moment or two with the patient there. He doesn't know that she is observing the shallowness of the breathing and color and tone of the skin. He thinks she is just visiting.
Goffman has a concept he calls "dramatic realization"
The basic idea is that certain parts of your job or life that you work or excel at don't naturally "come through." The effort, or your abilities, are somewhat hidden. And so people do this work of dramatic realization where they work to make visible these qualities or hidden facts. Maybe work you do for employer, they don't see, and so you off-handedly mention "oh yeah I was up late last night fixing bugs in the login flow" around him so he knows.
But this can be really problematic at a systematic level, because people get rewarded for what their employes or customers can see, and this legibility distortion field really messes with incentives, leads really important load-bearing but invisible work to get defunded, while high-visibility stuff gets outsized support.
e.g. Goffman quotes a study by Edith Lentz on the differences in visible work for surgical vs. medical nursing staff:
Opacity, transparency, being open, being vulnerable, being predictable, being unpredictable. Donkeyspace, the metagame, darkness, light, vision, blindness, order, entropy, information, surveillance, control.i see no one worked out what this thread is about thought ive been gone 13 hours
Hmm no that was not intended!!That image isn't visible to me... or is that the point?

yeah that's nothing like dubai is it. dubai's a lot of big straight lines.whoever made it never set foot in dubai or tunis
the idea of just re-naming a whole bit of the world which isn't anything to do with currently existing countries, or countries which have ever existed, is an absolute masterstroke. i keep trying to do it with other parts of the world but it never catches on. i've been referring to southern england as Greater Didcot for a while now.Three cheers for anarchism by Scott is good. I didn't finish the art of not being governed, but I got the gist of what Zomia means. Seeing like a state is on my list.
its about handwriting, which come to think about it is more or less the least relevant thing to an internet message board i can think ofi see no one worked out what this thread is about thought ive been gone 13 hours
