Abstract

Discourses of normalcy are deeply imbricated in the construction of the social world and organise relations between persons, persons and the State, persons and institutions and intra-psychic relations. Conversely, discourses about pathology and the abnormal underpin the regulation and disciplining of subjectivities intersected with ideas about race, gender, sexuality, class, ethnicities, nationalisms, and other identity vectors.
