Almost
"A correctly staged and performed scene leads the audience to impute a self to a performed character, but this imputation - this self - is a product of a scene that comes off, and is not a cause of it. The self, then, is a performed character... is a dramatic effect arising diffusely from a scene that is presented."
Erving Goffman - The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life.
