Understanding Bullying: Context of Power
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Bullying is a pervasive phenomenon across several institutions. It is not only related to the individual but situated in the context in which it happens. Its analysis also reveals that it is not merely a psychological phenomenon and can be understood through inputs from the field of social psychology, sociology and even anthropology. Like any other concept, exploration of bullying has evolved over time. However, few ideas that define bullying have been maintained such as those of ‘power’. This paper attempts to understand the defining elements of bullying and situate them in a theoretical framework and the concept of ‘power’ has been examined drawing from Foucault’s seminal works. Keywords: Bullying, pervasive phenomenon, anthropology.
