具体描述
The following essays will deal with several familiar areas of deviant behavior : prostitution ,homosexuality ,pornography ,drug use and abuse,and the art of conning and "cooling out " the client . they will also be concerned with the question of how the courts and other burearcratic agencies designed to counter deviance my inadvertently creat and perpetuate it. Also included are more exotic settings and forms of deviance that ha ve thus far received little or no attention in the socilolgical literature --for example, a fly-in whore house and "adult " bookstores . These ,and other topics ,will be dealt with from an interactionist perspective. Some of the essays include field notes . These are presented to give the reader a better grasp of how the work evolved, that is , how the researcher attended and interpreted the setting in question. These informal notes (edited fo length ) are an invaluable source of information when one is trying to understand how , in interpretive socilolgy , one s formulation of the problem and interpretation of the data is contingent upon one s understanding of the social scene ,and conversely ,the way in which the latter effects the former . It is the interplay between these two that will hopefully lead the researcher to achieve "verstehen," a stage in the research process that Max Weber sees as a prerequisite for acquiring a sociological understanding. With the exception of the author s essays ,the contributors (two of whom prefer to remain anonymous ) are sociology students who have taken graduate or undergraduate course in deviant behavior from the author . Apart from being students , they have worked as college instructors ,lawyers ,parole officers ,social workers ,and are in good standing in a wide variety of employments . The contributors have either studied these forms of deviance close-up and over time , of have themselves been the deviants. All of the essays are written from an interactionist perspective. By this I mean that they concern themselves with such subjective social-psychological considerations as the individual s ,motives ,and morals as these relate to the more general socilolgical problem of establishing the reality of the social scene. This in turn require that the reswearcher achieve an understanding of the social meanings of social actions ,as these are perceived by memebers of the social setting, and the way in which these meanings affect behavioral outcomes. The interactionist perspective contends that the social meaanings of verbal and nonverbal communications do not inhere in the words or deeds themselves but are conferred upon one s words and deeds by others . An interpretive process on that part of alter (the perceiving ) and ego (the perceived ) is an intervening and integral parts of defining the situation. The meanings that ego attributes to alter, that is , confers upon alter s words or deeds ,depends in large part upon present and past circumstances and future expectations of the participants within a given social context. The interactionist perspective , while encompassing a wide range of sociologist take this process into account in the study of social phenomena.

坦白讲，这本书的阅读体验是颠覆性的。我过去对“偏离规范”的理解多停留在教科书式的定义上，而这本书则将这些定义彻底“去光环化”，还原了其在真实生活中的血肉和泥土气息。作者对田野环境的适应和融入能力令人佩服，这使得他能够获取到许多外部观察者永远无法触及的内部视角。这本书的结构设计也非常巧妙，它并非线性叙事，而是通过不同个案的对比和参照，构建起一个关于社会控制与个体反抗的宏大图景。不同个体的自述片段，风格迥异，有的充满愤怒，有的带着宿命般的平静，这些声音的交响乐，构成了对当前社会秩序最有力的质疑。我尤其赞赏作者处理伦理困境的方式——他从不轻易下结论，而是将判断的权利交还给读者，仅仅呈现事实的层次和深度。这种克制而有力的叙事，使得这本书的冲击力持久而深远。读完后，我发现自己看待日常互动和社会新闻的角度，都变得更加审慎和多维度了。这是一部真正有力量的作品，它不只是记录，它是在邀请一场关于社会正义和人性边界的严肃对话。
评分说实话，这本书的内容着实让人坐立不安，因为它赤裸裸地展示了社会运作的另一面——那些被主流话语系统刻意边缘化和遮蔽的角落。它不是那种让你读完后感觉“学到了新知识”的书，而是让你在合上封面的那一刻，感到世界观被轻轻摇晃了一下。作者在田野工作中的那种“在场感”被完美地捕捉并传达给了读者。我仿佛能感受到在那些昏暗的、充满争议的场所里，空气中弥漫的紧张和压抑，以及人们试图在这种环境下寻找一丝慰藉的努力。叙事技巧上，它采用了多重声音的交织，既有作者冷静的分析，也有受访者未经修饰的原声，这种并置制造了一种强烈的张力，使得论证的力量倍增。它没有试图去美化或浪漫化“越轨”，而是冷静地呈现了其代价和后果。这种诚实的态度非常难得。它迫使我思考，我们社会所标榜的那些“秩序”，是以牺牲多少个体的真实需求和人性挣扎为代价的。这本书读起来酣畅淋漓，因为它拒绝提供简单的答案，而是要求读者自己去面对复杂性。
评分这本书读下来，感觉就像是跟着一位经验老道的社会学家进行了一场深入的田野调查，只不过这位“调查员”的工具箱里装满了真诚和坦率。作者的叙事风格非常引人入胜，他不仅仅是在记录那些边缘化的群体，更是在邀请我们一同进入他们的世界，去体验那种与主流社会格格不入的挣扎与选择。我尤其欣赏其中对于“越轨行为”的重新定义。它不是简单地贴上“错误”的标签，而是揭示了这些行为背后的复杂社会结构和个体心理动因。比如，书中对某种特定社区中非主流经济活动的描绘，细致入微，让人不得不反思我们对“合法性”的定义是否过于僵化和带有偏见。那些具体的个案研究，充满了鲜活的细节，无论是对话的语气还是环境的描写，都栩芦如绘，仿佛我能闻到现场的气味，感受到当事人的情绪波动。这种沉浸式的体验，远胜于枯燥的理论分析。读完后，我对社会规范的形成、维护以及被挑战的过程，有了更为立体和批判性的认识。这本书无疑拓宽了我的视野，让我对“正常”和“异常”之间的模糊地带产生了更深层次的思考，强烈推荐给所有对社会学、人类学以及人性复杂性感兴趣的读者。
评分这本读物的深度和广度，让我不禁惊叹于作者对细节的执着。它读起来不像是一份研究报告，更像是一系列精心编排的短篇故事集，每一个故事都承载着沉甸甸的社会学洞察。最让我印象深刻的是其中对于权力动态的剖析。作者没有停留在表层的行为描述，而是深入挖掘了那些促成特定“异常”行为产生的权力结构和资源分配不均的问题。例如，书中对特定群体在面对社会排斥时所发展出的内部规则和互相支持系统的描写，充满了深刻的洞察力，展现了人类在逆境中依然寻求意义和连接的强大韧性。文字风格上，它摈弃了学院派的冗长和自我设限，采用了非常直接、近乎口语化的表达方式，这极大地拉近了与读者的距离。然而，这种直接并不意味着肤浅，相反，它将复杂的社会学概念融入到了生动的场景描绘之中，使得即便是初次接触该领域的人也能轻松领会其核心要义。它像一把手术刀，精准地切开了社会表面的光鲜，让我们看到了底层的脉络和真实的痛感。
评分初次翻开这本书时，我以为会是一部严肃的学术论著，充满了晦涩的术语和严谨的逻辑推导，但事实完全出乎我的意料。这本书的阅读体验，更像是一次极具个人色彩的“自白式”探索。作者的笔触极为大胆，毫不避讳地将自己置于观察者的同时，也成为了被审视的对象。这种坦诚的自我剖析，使得原本可能冰冷的社会现象变得极具温度和人情味。书中对某些亚文化群体的长期观察，显示出作者非凡的耐心和深入人心的能力。我特别喜欢其中穿插的那些片段，它们不是宏大的理论建构，而是微小到几乎被人忽略的生活瞬间，正是这些瞬间，构筑了那些“越轨者”的完整生活图景。它们揭示了在看似坚不可摧的社会规则之下，个体是如何巧妙地、有时甚至是痛苦地周旋和适应的。语言运用上，作者的节奏感把握得极好，时而急促如追猎，时而舒缓如回忆，读起来丝毫没有疲惫感。这本书的价值在于，它挑战了我们习惯性地从“局外人”视角进行道德评判的倾向，而是引导我们去理解：在特定的情境和压力下，‘非主流’的选择是如何成为个体生存逻辑下的必然。
