Krátky popis
The concept of normal is so familiar that it can be hard to imagine
contemporary life without it. Yet the term entered everyday speech
only in the mid-twentieth century. Before that, it was solely a
scientific term used primarily in medicine to refer to a general
state of health and the orderly function of organs. But beginning
in the middle of the twentieth century, normal broke out of
scientific usage, becoming less precise and coming to mean a
balanced condition to be maintained and an ideal to be achieved. In
Normality, Peter Cryle and Elizabeth Stephens offer an intellectual
and cultural history of what it means to be normal. They explore
the history of how communities settle on any one definition of the
norm, along the way analyzing a fascinating series of case studies
in fields as remote as anatomy, statistics, criminal anthropology,
sociology, and eugenics. Cryle and Stephens argue that since the
idea of normality is so central to contemporary disability, gender,
race, and sexuality studies, scholars in these fields must first
have a better understanding of the context for normality. This
pioneering book moves beyond binaries to explore for the first time
what it does and doesn't mean to be normal.
