Michigan Feminist Studies (MFS)
Issue 16: Deviance
What constitutes normal? What role does deviance play in the constitution
and maintenance of normative behavior and/or activities? When does normal
become deviant? How is deviance measured? Is deviance different from
transgression? How should we differentiate between deviance and perversity?
Is the distinction between deviance, transgression and perversion a legal
matter? Are we beyond thinking about race, gender, sexuality or class as
deviant in our commodified culture(s)? Can anything constitute deviance in
this present moment? Could, for instance, poverty be considered deviant?
How should we classify criminality, violence, transgendered identities,
immigration or war? This is by no means intended as an exhaustive list of
topically rich areas for exploration.
Michigan Feminist Studies, an annual publication edited by graduate
students at the University of Michigan, addresses current issues in
feminist and gender studies. MFS has previously published papers in
anthropology, sociology, psychology, literature, language & linguistics,
cultural and science studies, history, philosophy, art history, film,
political science and education. We welcome submissions in these and other
disciplines to probe the topic DEVIANCE in any of the ways suggested by the
questions above, or in any other direction.
Manuscripts should be 4,000-6,000 words double-spaced. Submit three
single-sided copies. Please include a 150-200 word abstract, brief
biographical note, institutional and departmental affiliation, address,
telephone number and e-mail address. Papers may be submitted in the
