Socijalni konstrukcionizam
Social Constructionism: Sociology, History, And Philosophy

Summary/Abstract: There has been a revolution in the way we think about sexuality. Until re- cently, it was believed that humans were born with a sexual nature and that the natural order crated persons of a distinct sexual type. In contemporary scientific world, sex is predominately seen as fundamentally social. Sociologists have been at the forefront of researching sex from a social perspective, studying sexual identity and forms of sex- ual conduct as social and historical products. Historians have documented the change in the meaning of homosexuality - from behavior, to a type of gender deviance, to an abnormal personality, and finally to an affirmative social identity. The work of phi- losophers is equally central, and it is mostly seen in the deconstruction of the idea of sexuality itself, and sex/gender identities by pointing to their performative character.
