Damga Üzerine: Toplumsal Dışlanmanın Tarihi ve Bugünü Egemen Kalyon'dan
The term stigma was first used in ancient Greece to describe physical markings used to identify individuals deemed "unusual and morally inferior" by society. These marks were inscribed on slaves, criminals, or traitors and were considered a means of excluding them from society. Today, stigma is more than a physical mark; it refers to the forms of social exclusion people face because of their identity, origin, and social status.
