Stigma: The Experience of Disability -1966; Paul Hunt (UK)
collection of articles: “challenged the standard preoccupation with the
medical and personal 'suffering' experienced by individuals with an impairment.”
“a direct 'challenge' to commonly held societal values: 'as unfortunate, useless, different, oppressed and sick.‘”
![Page 11: Stigma & Identity Oct 13th, 2009. Agenda I.Review -Impairment vs. Disability -Disability Models II. Simulations & Destigmatizing III. Stigma & the Individual](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032704/56649d815503460f94a65c59/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
- ‘We are challenging society to take account of us, to listen to what we have to say, to acknowledge us as an integral part of society itself. We do not want ourselves, or anyone else, treated as second-class citizens and put away out of sight and mind.’
From A Critical Condition (Chapter 12 in Hunt. P. (ed.) 1966: Stigma: The Experience of Disability, London: Geoffrey Chapman)

WHAT IS STIGMA’S PURPOSE?
Allows us to deal with: “Anticipated others with out special attention or thought.”
Who’s “IN”/Who’s “OUT”
Helps Categorize & Manage Multiple Stimuli

WHERE / HOW DOES STIGMA GET ITS POWER?
![Page 15: Stigma & Identity Oct 13th, 2009. Agenda I.Review -Impairment vs. Disability -Disability Models II. Simulations & Destigmatizing III. Stigma & the Individual](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032704/56649d815503460f94a65c59/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Acceptance of the Devalued State
![Page 16: Stigma & Identity Oct 13th, 2009. Agenda I.Review -Impairment vs. Disability -Disability Models II. Simulations & Destigmatizing III. Stigma & the Individual](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032704/56649d815503460f94a65c59/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Stigma Management
I) Information control(Discreditable)
“PASSING”(hiding the stigma)
"to tell or not to tell, ….to lie or not to lie, …. to whom, when and where."
![Page 18: Stigma & Identity Oct 13th, 2009. Agenda I.Review -Impairment vs. Disability -Disability Models II. Simulations & Destigmatizing III. Stigma & the Individual](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032704/56649d815503460f94a65c59/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Passing Objective: minimize detection or disclosure
• 1. Conceal stigma symbols (FDR)• 2. Play down the defect• 3. Distancing (social, physical, emotional)

Stigma Management

“Covering;” “Aggressiveness / Deviance”(reducing its significance)
attempts to control awkward, difficult or hostile interactions with "the normals."

GoffmanMy Favorite Quote
“Each potential source of discomfort…can become something we sense he is aware of, aware that we are aware of, and even aware of our state of awareness, about his awareness…”
ALWAYS ON!ALWAYS ON!

• What is stigmatized now that was not 60 years ago?
• What was stigmatized 60 years ago that is not now?

StigmaCan be a very rapid process: Japanese Americans
Destigmatizing: Usually a gradual process taking years / decades
Our Culture Reinforces Stigma through it’s Obsession with Rank Orderings

Society & the “Other”
Douglas - 1966• Concept of Dirt• 5 Ways Cultures deal with “dirt”
![Page 29: Stigma & Identity Oct 13th, 2009. Agenda I.Review -Impairment vs. Disability -Disability Models II. Simulations & Destigmatizing III. Stigma & the Individual](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032704/56649d815503460f94a65c59/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Concept of Dirt“Matter out of Place.”How Societies Groups or Deals withAmbiguous Margins.
Dirt is an Anomaly - A Discordant
ElementPurity & Danger: An Analysis of Concepts of Pollution and Taboo (1966)
![Page 30: Stigma & Identity Oct 13th, 2009. Agenda I.Review -Impairment vs. Disability -Disability Models II. Simulations & Destigmatizing III. Stigma & the Individual](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032704/56649d815503460f94a65c59/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Argues that ambiguity proves difficult
Culture involves classification, dirt is disorder, = breakdown of classification, boundaries are ambiguous or confused.
There no absolute form of dirt
![Page 31: Stigma & Identity Oct 13th, 2009. Agenda I.Review -Impairment vs. Disability -Disability Models II. Simulations & Destigmatizing III. Stigma & the Individual](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032704/56649d815503460f94a65c59/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
'liminality' of those on the margins“The long-term physically impaired are neither sick nor well, neither dead nor alive, neither out of society nor wholly in it. They are human beings but their bodies are warped or malfunctioning, leaving their full humanity in doubt.... They are neither fish nor fowl; they exist in partial isolation from society as undefined, ambiguous people. (Murphy 1987: Barnes & Mercer, p6, Disability: A Choice of Models)
![Page 32: Stigma & Identity Oct 13th, 2009. Agenda I.Review -Impairment vs. Disability -Disability Models II. Simulations & Destigmatizing III. Stigma & the Individual](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032704/56649d815503460f94a65c59/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
