My thesis aims to analyze the phenomenon of social stigma, in relation to people with mental illnesses as well, trying to propose some strategies to reduce it. In the first chapter, social stigma is examined, giving a definition, analyzing its origin and types. Within the second chapter we introduce the term "Self," as a self-image proposed by Erving Goffman, a Canadian sociologist, seeing how it becomes discredited or discreditable. We then delve into his view of theatrical representation to understand how stigma affects the identity an individual is expected to possess. In chapter three we look at the phenomenon of social stigma related to people with mental illness, explaining how it manifests and what its consequences are. In chapter five, an attempt is made to identify strategies to reduce social stigma.
La mia tesi vuole analizzare il fenomeno di stigma sociale, in relazione anche alle persone affette da malattie mentali, cercando di proporre alcune strategie per ridurlo. Nel primo capitolo si esamina lo stigma sociale, dando una definizione, analizzandone l’origine e le tipologie. All’interno del secondo capitolo si introduce il termine “Self”, come immagine di sè proposto da Erving Goffman, sociologo canadese, vedendo come diventa screditato o screditabile. In seguito ci addentriamo nella sua visione di rappresentazione teatrale, per comprendere come lo stigma influisca sull’identità che ci si aspetta che un individuo possegga. Nel capitolo tre si osserva il fenomeno dello stigma sociale correlato alle persone affette da malattia mentale, spiegando come si manifesta e quali sono le sue conseguenze. Nel capitolo 5 si tenta di individuare delle strategie per ridurre lo stigma sociale.

Abstract
My thesis aims to analyze the phenomenon of social stigma, in relation to people with mental illnesses as well, trying to propose some strategies to reduce it. In the first chapter, social stigma is examined, giving a definition, analyzing its origin and types. Within the second chapter we introduce the term "Self," as a self-image proposed by Erving Goffman, a Canadian sociologist, seeing how it becomes discredited or discreditable. We then delve into his view of theatrical representation to understand how stigma affects the identity an individual is expected to possess. In chapter three we look at the phenomenon of social stigma related to people with mental illness, explaining how it manifests and what its consequences are. In chapter five, an attempt is made to identify strategies to reduce social stigma.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
