Resumo: The article shows how our society has created one of the oppositions that structures it. It starts with a historic reconstruction of the normalization process to introduce the powerful social-scientific movement of Eugenics and the heredity theory behind it. We analyze the social category of the abnormal as a product of discourses and social practices, in short, historically. The article also presents few considerations about the polarity normality and pathology in contemporary society. The focus is on the persistence of the theories that naturalize individual differences and social disparities.

A partir da reconstrução histórica do processo de normalização chegamos ao movimento sócio-científico da Eugenia e a poderosa teoria da hereditariedade sob o qual ela se assentava. A categoria social dos anormais é analisada como produto de discursos e práticas sociais, portanto, historicamente. Por fim, apresentamos algumas considerações sobre a polaridade normalidade e patologia na sociedade contemporânea e a persistência de teorias que visam naturalizar diferenças individuais e desigualdades sociais.FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial2007-05-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/169Estudos de Sociologia; v. 7, n. 13/14 (2003)1982-47181414-0144reponame:Estudos de Sociologiainstname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/169/167Copyright (c) 2007 Estudos de Sociologiainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMiskolci, Richard2021-05-12T13:45:28Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/169Revistahttp://seer.fclar.unesp.br/estudosPUBhttp://seer.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/oaistraud.fclar@unesp.br||estudosdesociologia@fclar.unesp.br||maria.jardim@unesp.br1982-47181414-0144opendoar:2021-05-12T13:45:28Estudos de Sociologia - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
