Abstract

The aim of the article is to analyze the concept of morality deployed by Goffman to construct his idea of moral career and to relate it to the rest of the author's work, especially with The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life. In order to do so, is mobilized fieldwork on how the moral career of those in the process of leaving the penitentiary system in Rio, actors in a liminal condition, between being out of the system and still being within it. The work treats their interpretation of their identities in the key of circumstantial social accountability (employing excuses) for their careers. This career is here considered in the key of the transformation in the system of signification peculiar to the self.
