En un caso se trata de un hecho condenable y en el otro del paradigma de la genialidad. En ambos, sin embargo, se juega el poder de las etiquetas para estigmatizar o asegurar prestigio a alguien considerado "fuera de lo normal". Señalar a una persona como genial no suele ser un problema, pero rotularla como delincuente implica convertirla en outsider, no importa en qué haya consistido su falta: exceso de alcohol, consumo de drogas o crimen.

One of the most groundbreaking sociology texts of the mid-20th century, Howard S. Becker's Outsiders is a thorough exploration of social deviance and how it can be addressed in an understanding and helpful manner. A compulsively readable and thoroughly researched exploration of social deviance and the application of what is known as "labeling theory" to the studies of deviance. With particular research into drug culture, Outsiders analyzes unconventional individuals and their place in normal society. No library descriptions found. |
