被レイベリング者の受容的抵抗

レイベリング論における抵抗観の再検討

抄録

　This paper reconsiders labeling theory focusing on labeled people's resistance to internally accepting a deviant category, and this has not been treated so far in labeling theory. For that purpose I pay attention to the process of "social definition-"-counter definition-"-social redefinition".
　I aim at the analysis of labeled people's resistance to internally accepting a deviant category in the process of social interaction on the assumption that the concept of [external acceptance/rejection of a deviant category] differs from the concept of [internal acceptance/rejection of being labeled].
　A type of labeled people's reaction [externally accepting but internally rejecting their "label"] is analyzed as labeled people's resistance in accepting a deviant category.
　This paper is an attempt to extend labeling theory through attaching much importance to the active reaction of labeled people.
