HISTORICAL FORMS OF INDIVIDUAL DEVIATION

Abstract

It is shown that the existence of any society is characterized by the presence of deviations from legal, moral and other norms, and the study of the features and etymology of these deviations is the important scientific and practical task. The aim of the article is to clarify and classify the main historical forms of individual deviation, establish the features of their evolution and transformation. In the main part the evolution of individual forms of deviation is considered. The following types of individual deviance are singled out: the sacral (shaman, magician, sorcerer), sacralized (holy fool, dervish, saint), secular (buffoons, dandies, representatives of the underground). It is proved that individual deviation is always formalized and expressed semantically by means of special symbols, such as clothes; attitude to the forms of everyday life; semantics of gesture and gestural subculture; style of life, style of thinking and speech, language subculture. It is shown that deviants demonstrate two variants of deviation: passive and active. It is noted that, in comparison with collective deviation, individual deviance due to its locality has less social effect, including destructive, but it is no less significant, so far as in positive forms it has the great creative effect, contributing to the development and humanization of culture and society as a whole.
