Multiple forms of corruption

Abstract

The article uses two reference categories: visual social reality and cryptic social reality to draw a line between the legal understanding of corruption and its latent, hidden forms. Such methodology makes it possible to look into yet unexplored processes of corrupt relations and to abandon the identification of corruption with legal crimes. The resulting effect is related to the identification of forms of corruption unfolding in the everyday life of people and influencing not only the quality of their world-perceptions but also the structure of fateful meanings. We get an opportunity for further research into what is constantly disguised, encrypted and not given into the hands of the "open access".
