Abstract

[This chapter builds on the earlier introduction to critical realism to note the importance of causal ‘tendencies’ and interdisciplinarity in the study of open societies. The chapter also extends the conceptualisations of stigma and deviance of earlier discussions. It moves on to discern a ‘weaponising of stigma’ in the form of ‘abjection’. This weaponising, it is argued, represents an unambiguous political strategy in financial capitalism and is routinely deployed against vulnerable segments of the population.]
