Face strategies could take place before others react to the basic factors of face as shown in Figure 3A. They could also be carried out after a group of "others" have reacted to the basic face as in Figure 3B. But no matter whether these presentations are done before or after a group of “others” react to basic face, they are meant to be seen and reacted to, and in addition, this process could go on and on.
Thus far, there are three terms to depict the action concerning face. They are face behaviour, facework and face strategies. They belong to three different levels. To put them in the simile of a cube, face behaviour represents the entire cube. Inside, there may be many small cubes, some of them being called facework. Within these small cubes, there are components called face strategies. These components are of different colours, giving special characteristics to the cubes. Likewise, face strategies of different nature serve to carry out certain facework. In turn, facework is the set of value-laden cubes within the universal set of face behaviour.
Besides, regarding the distribution of face strategies in terms of face behaviour, the strategies seem to crowd into the category of "saving face". This demonstrates that facework and its strategies are not always manifest. It is due to the fact that strategies in the interest of face may not be carried out in all times and at a magnitude that can be witnessed easily.
From the above studies and in fact, as Goffman has pointed out, actions in the interest of face will be carried out most in crisis situations: where face is at stake, where there is a chance to alter the dimensions of (social...
