Abstract EN
The present study examines honor killings through applying Goffman's theory of stigma when a sample of 207 students of a public university in Jordan attended a literary work performed on stage.
The study follows an interdisciplinary method by examining the social interaction between the audience ("normals" from Goffman's point of view) and Salma- the stigmatized character in Fadia Faqir's My Name is Salma, and her family.
One of the significant findings of the study is that a high level of students' perception towards justifying Salma's sin, after considering and analyzing her conditions, believes that she doesn't deserve to be murdered in the name of honor.
