What is it like to be ‘othered’, to be rendered unacceptable or rejected by ‘normals’ or ‘normal host communities’? The chapter also uses Bhaskar’s critical realism in relation to agency, culture and structure to emphasise the causal roots of stigma and deviance, of social norms of shame and blame.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter gives an expository account of Habermas’ basic distinction between the lifeworld on the one hand and the system on the other. The focus is on how attributions of shame and blame play out in people’s day-to-day lives. What is it like to be ‘othered’, to be rendered unacceptable or rejected by ‘normals’ or ‘normal host communities’? The chapter also uses Bhaskar’s critical realism in relation to agency, culture and structure to emphasise the causal roots of stigma and deviance, of social norms of shame and blame.]
