Seminar
Sociology of deviance. An introduction with applications to categories of marginalization in Eastern Europe
Mihai Varga
Comments
Using theoretical reflections based on the work of Ian Hacking, Michel Foucault, and Howard Becker, we will discuss the interplay between Enlightenment and (post-)communist/Soviet conceptions of science and "proper" social behavior in labeling various people as deviant. We will focus on examples of "deviant" people drawn from research on Eastern Europe and examine cases of how state representatives (from social workers to police) deal with ethnicized & racialized poor, with people living with HIV, with disabilities, people who use drugs, etc.
