RT Article T1 Erving Goffman’s view of "deviance": "self" and "society" as the sources of deviancy and conformity JF Deviant behavior VO 42 IS 2 SP 147 OP 161 A1 Barmaki, Reza LA English YR 2021 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1858139554 AB Not much has been written about Erving Goffman’s conception of "deviance". The little that exists often mistakenly reduces it either to what I refer to in this paper as "Stigma and Mental Illness", or diminishes its novelty by rendering it a variant of "interactionist" view of deviance. The argument of this paper is that he had a broader and novel conception of deviance. In fact, he distinguished between six interrelated types of deviance: (1) Deviance related to presentation of "self" in social interactions; (2) Deviance as lack of self-control and violation of interactional scripts; (3) Deviation from assigned social roles in the system of social stratification; (4) Social deviance, i.e., willful and unabashed violation of social order; (5) Deviation from "identity values"; (6) Deviation due to a search for excitement.
