Criminal justice records provide the historian with a wealth of data on social deviance, and on the role of the judiciary in defining and controlling it. They can as well comment on the most invisible group for the social historian: the “innocent bystanders,” the respectable folk who distinguish themselves neither by their power and influence nor by their deviance. This essay illustrates the value of one kind of judicial data, local criminal investigations in Brazil, to provide information on the working citizens of a community. Changes in the characteristics of that population may be indicative of wider social stress in the Brazilian Independence period.

The Impact

The kaleidoscope of social identity is defined by multiple forces of signification. Gender, ethnicity, and class trace porous borders of the social and symbolic space within which consumption practices unfold, changing, forcing, and sometimes even subverting the apparent fixity of those spaces. The transition from childhood to adulthood is marked by clear biological changes that affect the conduct of life and the ways in which to confront a series of phases in the form of the transformation and maturation of the body. The analysis of consumption practices can be useful in showing how young people define themselves. As part of a discussion on youth and consumption, this article focuses on cultures of consumption among young workers. It also discusses the social deviance and consumer behaviour of young people, the impact of advertising on the social representation of the youth body, films and fantasies, and the emergence of a youth mass market.

Abstract In this article, I identify and describe multimodal hybrid metaphors—the conceptual representation of two elements represented as merged into a new single ‘gestalt’—represented by the machine and human body domains in “Tetsuo: The Iron Man” (鉄男: Tetsuo), a Japanese avant-garde film. Since “Tetsuo: The Iron Man” portrays the genesis of a man whose body becomes a human-machine hybrid, I explore to what extent this film can act as an example of how hybrid metaphors are conveyed. In line with the ideological function of metaphors, where the use of alternative metaphors may produce different meanings and potentially have different effects on the recipient, I also try to interpret how these hybrid metaphors reveal information about the contemporary Japanese society. Specifically, the ideological analysis considers how the notion of ‘artificial’ and the social phenomena of misogyny, homophobia and social deviance are held to characterise the post-World War II Japanese culture.

The monograph deals with the problem of prostitution as one of the social deviations, conducted a retrospective analysis of all aspects of this phenomenon in the period of the mid XIX – early XX centuries.Investigated the origins of legalization of prostitution in Imperial Russia, shows the mechanism of regulation, the organization of police control and sanitary supervision. The ways of self-organization of society, the conditions that contributed to the development of private and public initiatives of self-help against the danger of turning to vicious fishing are revealed. The relationship of state structures, self-government bodies and public organizations in the prevention of prostitution. Describes the experience of Russian participation in the international fight against prostitution in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a synthesis of the obtained characteristics provides a basis to believe that the formation of the social institution of prostitution is a logical and objective process related to the deviation inherent in the human community. As a social deviation, prostitution is of double importance to society. The positive side is expressed in the illegal provision of needs that are not adequately met by the institution of the family, serves as a" safe valve " for aggressive trends. The negative is manifested in facilitation of crime. In modern Russian society, sexual morality normalizes many things that have traditionally been recognized as deviant in sexual behavior. The topic is relevant for the present in terms of the presence and establishment of this phenomenon. Prostitution remains one of indeterminant crime related to her involvement in minors with drugs, crimes and harboring criminals, a robbery and robbery.The reality clearly shows the unsolved nature of this burning problem. The tasks facing the current generation to combat negative social phenomena cannot be solved without the close cooperation of the state and society in this direction, without the historical experience of predecessors, without continuity. The introduction of the new material into scientific circulation in the course of the research enables a wide range of specialists, public organizations to use the historical experience of creating constructive mechanisms of interaction between the state and society to reduce the spread of modern prostitution, to solve urgent problems.

Resumo: Este trabalho decorre de uma pesquisa de pós-doutorado mais ampla. Ele tem como objetivo desenvolver uma análise no sentido de apresentar uma perspectiva de abordagem sobre as drogas a partir da Educação Popular. Para atingir este propósito, metodologicamente, apoia-se em dois pressupostos: 1) uma revisão da literatura em língua portuguesa, espanhola, francesa e inglesa; 2) um estudo empírico realizado no Uruguai, em Montevidéu, no contexto da implementação da política de descriminalização e venda legal de cannabis, focando, entre outros aspectos, a dimensão educativa da política. Alguns dos seus resultados são, por exemplo: 1) a abordagem da Educação Popular sobre as drogas requer um escrutínio sócio-histórico delas no contexto da relação sociedade e desvio social; 2) a Educação Popular demanda uma mudança discursiva na forma de se referir às pessoas que usam drogas, na perspectiva de superar a linguagem estigmatizada; 3) o trabalho socioeducativo no âmbito das ações de redução de danos, sob a Educação Popular, implica conhecimentos interdisciplinares. Dentre as conclusões, afirma-se que o estudo das drogas necessita ser situado analiticamente no plano social, e não na esfera dos fatores individuais, que tendem a definir o seu uso como uma patologia estritamente pessoal. Palavras-chave: Educação Popular. Drogas. Políticas. Sociedade.Abstract: This paper is the result of a larger postdoctoral research. It aims to develop an analysis in the sense of presenting a perspective of approach on the drugs according to Popular Education. In this way, methodologically, it is based on two methodological assumptions: 1) a review of literature in Portuguese, Spanish, French and English; 2) an empirical study carried out in Uruguay, in Montevideo, in the context of implementation of the decriminalization and sale policy of cannabis, focusing, among other aspects, on its educational dimension. Some of its results are, for example: 1) Popular Education’s approach about drugs must carry out a socio-historical scrutiny of them in the context of the relationship society and social deviance; 2) Popular Education requires a discursive change in the way of referring to people who use drugs, to overcome the stigmatized language; 3) Socio-educational work in the field of the harm reduction actions, according to Popular Education, demands interdisciplinary knowledge. Among the conclusions, it is affirmed that the study of the drugs must be analytically situated in the social plane, instead of being in the sphere of individual factors, which tend to define its use as a strictly personal pathology.

Structural Matrix

The society affords to judge and assess the behavior of its members, according to the degree of conformity of the respective behavior to the accepted and unanimously recognized norms and values. By utilizing the social control and adaptation as ‘persuasive’ tools for the existing community, the society affords to transfer its members the normative and cultural model promoted by it. Subsequent to this ‘lesson’ where people learn the social roles which must be fulfilled, the long awaited reward is received – social integration. Each individual has the possibility to absorb knowledge, habits and rules and then apply them as an active member of the society. One of the main functions of the society is generating, maintaining and passing from generation to generation the values which define the specific of the society, its structural matrix. This function can be found at the level of the groups and social organizations. Such function is fulfilled through a fundamental social process, namely socialization.

The results of a cohort study of 177 newborns, from birth until they were 18 months old, are presented. The 87 of those children had lacked impact of maternal HIV infection, and 90 children were not exposed to HIV prenatally. Antisocial factors were observed among the newborns exposed to a prenatal HIV infection which had a negative impact upon them throughout infancy. The social deviance of their family members with a HIV infection was 10.5 times higher than the standard risk of a neonatal abstinence syndrome, 4 times higher than a standard risk of growth retardation during fetal development, and 3.8 times higher than a standard risk of postnatal development disorders. Undiagnosed infants who were exposed to a HIV-infection constitute a medico-social risk group requiring scrupulous and extended medical assistance.

The paper deals with the analysis of stigmatization as a social process. The main purpose is to explain multidimensional aspects of stigmatization. This paper reviews the key theoretical roots of ideas about stigmatization as a social process and explores a notion of social deviance, as well as the social construction and production of the deviance. The analyses indicate the main dimensions of stigmatization as a social process. These are following dimensions: time, spatial or socio-cultural, socio-stratification, gender-consequential, ideological-political, reactive and socio-psychological dimension. .

Recent studies suggest that many children with milder autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are undiagnosed, untreated, and being educated in mainstream classes without support and that school teachers might be the best persons to identify a child’s social deviance. At present, only a few screening measures using teacher ratings of ASD have been validated. The aim of this study was to examine the utility of teacher ratings on the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS), a quantitative measure of ASD. We recruited 130 participants aged 4 to 17 years from local schools or local pediatric outpatient clinics specializing in neurodevelopmental disorders that included 70 children with ASD. We found that the teacher-report SRS can be reliably and validly applied to children as a screening tool or for other research purposes, and it also has cross-cultural comparability. Although parent-teacher agreement was satisfactory overall, a discrepancy existed for children with ASD, especially for girls with ASD. To improve sensitivity in children at higher risk, especially girls, we cannot overstate the importance of using standardized norms specific to gender, informant, and culture.
