beccaelizabethThe labelling bit of the deviance chapter is just like in the education chapter except people get prison instead of grades.
and none of this is helping me do my homework
(I'm now getting thoughts about how all this applies to fandom
and how the labelling thing applies online, where we can change most of our labels by conjuring up a new name)
deviance is not in the actor or the act but in the labels applied to it. Nothing is deviant until people say it is.
Like nudity - it all depends on context.
People don't just respond to structures and forces, they put meanings on them and make decisions.
The words in all the chapters not-media are different than the media labels. I mean theres positivist and interactionist and functionalist and a bunch of other ists and isms. And Marxist. Which is there in the Media chapters too, but means something a bit different, neo-Marxist. And feminist is all through everything too, but different. In the media chapter suddenly we're talking Manipulative, Pluralist, Hegemonic and Postmodern (I think, I might have got the Ps muddled up). Teach says this is why they're probably not going to teach media again when they don't have to, for it has a different framework going on.
I need to go write essays.
Writing essays is much more boring than reading more stuff.
