Description

This course is an introductory sociological analysis of acts, persons, and identities that are morally condemned. Special emphasis is directed to interconnections between deviance and conventionality, the variability of deviance in time and space, and the political nature of the production and deployment of categories of deviance. Among the topics of inquiry are historical case studies of "legislated" morality (e.g., deviant drinking and opiate use), deviant identity and deviant subcultures, the medicalization of deviance (e.g., non-normative sexual and gender identities) and other forms of social control. Throughout we consider "deviance" in relation to social spheres of power including race, class, gender, and sexuality.
