The sociology of deviance
Malmö högskola, Faculty of Health and Society (HS), Department of Social Work (SA).
2012 (English)In: Introduction to Sociology: Scandinavian Sensibilities / [ed] Gunnar C Aakvaag, Michael Hviid Jacobsen, Thomas Johansson, Prentice-Hall, 2012, p. 200-215Chapter in book (Other academic)
Abstract [sv]

Kapitlet handlar om hur avvikelse kan förstås från ett sociologiskt perspektiv. Genom att blanda empirinära vardagsexempel med olika teorier skapade av inflytelserika akademiker utvecklas ett perspektiv på avvikelse, som något konstruerat snarare än något essentiellt. Välkända akademiker såsom Foucault, Becker, Goffman och Douglas, används och diskuteras. Själva vetenskapen bidrar i hög grad till att skapa normalitet och därmed avvikelse.

Abstract [en]

The chapter is about how deviancy can be understood from a sociological perspective. By mixing empirical examples from everyday life with different theories by influential academics of the field a perspective of deviancy, about how deviancy is something created rather than something essential, is developed. Well known academics such as Foucault, Becker, Goffman and Douglas are discussed and also how science itself contributes in creating deviancy and normality.
