Stigma is an illuminating excursion into the situation of persons who are unable to conform to standards that society calls normal. Disqualified from full social acceptance, they are stigmatized individuals. Physically deformed people, ex-mental patients, drug addicts, prostitutes, or those ostracized for other reasons must constantly strive to adjust to their precarious social identities. Their image of themselves must daily confront and be affronted by the image which others reflect back to them. Drawing extensively on autobiographies and case studies, sociologist Erving Goffman analyzes the stigmatized person's feelings about himself and his relationship to "normals" He explores the variety of strategies stigmatized individuals employ to deal with the rejection of others, and the complex sorts of information about themselves they project. In Stigma the interplay of alternatives the stigmatized individual must face every day is brilliantly examined by one of America's leading social analysts.
As Wright suggest:
... a person who wishes to conceal his disability will notice disability-revealing mannerisms in another person. Moreover, he is likely to resent those mannerisms that advertise the fact of disability, for in wishing to conceal his disability he wishes others to conceal theirs. (...) Flaunting disability is a threat to him because it stirs up the guilt of having scorned his own group membership as well as the possibility of his own exposure. He may prefer surreptitiously to realize the other person's secret and to maintain a gentlemen's agreement that both should play their "as if" roles to having the other person challenge his pretense by confiding his own.

原文高度舒适 “the stigmatized”一下子就破除了“蒙受污名者”带来的困扰——这里讨论/存在的不是“污名”，而是“污名化”。

没有日常生活中的自我呈现惊艳，但是觉得用在美国社会问题上面很有趣，批判性种族主义学习的时候应该读读这本书

理论框架很薄，不如《日常生活中的自我呈现》

Goffman从”stigma”这一词的起源开始讲起，词源希腊语，是指为了区分囚徒或罪犯于大众而刻印在身体上的符号。 现在虽然依旧保留原本的意义，但更代表了一层精神或性格或属性上的（被社会大众认定的）有缺陷或值得歧视的标签。例如所谓的“无业游民”，一直以来是一个对一名不工作的个体带有贬义与歧视色彩的形容。 事实上“stigma”不是属于一个个体的，而是存在于社会与关系中的。社会在某种程度上因为一些... Goffman从”stigma”这一词的起源开始讲起，词源希腊语，是指为了区分囚徒或罪犯于大众而刻印在身体上的符号。 现在虽然依旧保留原本的意义，但更代表了一层精神或性格或属性上的（被社会大众认定的）有缺陷或值得歧视的标签。例如所谓的“无业游民”，一直以来是一个对一名不工作的个体带有贬义与歧视色彩的形容。 事实上“stigma”不是属于一个个体的，而是存在于社会与关系中的。社会在某种程度上因为一些属性而排斥被污名化者，而被污名化者也会尽量消除或掩盖污名从而避免受到歧视。例如肤色作为一种被歧视与污名化的标签，它不会存在于有色人种的社会中，而是存在于有色人种出现在与自身肤色不同的社会中时，这个标记才生效或格外明显。 (展开)
