This paper outlines the limits of the conception of ‘global space’ at the centre of attempts to establish the existence of certain communicative norms of ‘global civil society’. It particularly focuses on theoretically asserted claims made for an idealized global public sphere which are the basis upon which theoretical structures of communicative values and global norms are constituted. These, in turn, are used to inform normative critiques, from the standpoint of ‘global civil society’, which challenge present international practices. The concluding sections outline the limitations of this political project, highlighting the problematic, de-socialized, nature of these conceptions of ‘global space’; which, in lacking any mediating framework between the asserted ‘moral autonomy’ of actors in global civil society and the global norms allegedly derived from them, makes communicative global civil society theorizing innately conservative in character. Este documento describe en forma general, los límites de la concepción del ‘espacio global’ al centro de los intentos para establecer la existencia de ciertas normas de comunicación de la ‘sociedad civil global’. Se enfoca particularmente en opiniones teóricamente acertadas, elaboradas para una esfera global pública idealizada que son la base sobre la cual se constituyen las estructuras teóricas de los valores de comunicación y normas globales. Estas, a su vez, se usan para informar sobre las críticas normativas desde el punto de vista de la ‘sociedad civil global’, que desafían a las normas internacionales actuales. Las secciones conclusivas describen en líneas generales, las limitaciones de este proyecto político destacando la naturaleza problemática y de falta de socialización del ‘espacio global’; el cual careciendo de algún marco mediador entre la ‘autonomía moral’ impuesta por actores en la sociedad civil global y las normas globales supuestamente derivadas de aquellas, hace que el método de comunicación al planteamiento teórico de la sociedad civil global, parezca, inherentemente, de carácter conservador. 相似文献
This study examined associations between adverse childhood family experiences and adult physical health using data from 52,250 U.S. adults aged 18 to 64 from the 2009 to 2012 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. We found that experiencing childhood physical, verbal, or sexual abuse, witnessing parental domestic violence, experiencing parental divorce, and living with someone who was depressed, abused drugs or alcohol, or who had been incarcerated were associated with one or more of the following health outcomes: self‐rated health, functional limitations, diabetes, and heart attack. Adult socioeconomic status and poor mental health and health behaviors significantly mediated several of these associations. The results of this study highlight the importance of family‐based adverse childhood experiences on adult health outcomes and suggest that adult socioeconomic status (SES) and stress‐related coping behaviors may be crucial links between trauma in the childhood home and adult health. 相似文献
The representational history of disabled people can largely be characterized as one of being put on display or hidden away. Self-representations have been a powerful part of the disability rights and culture movement, but recently scholars have analysed the ways in which these run the risk of creating a ‘single story’ that centres the experiences of white, western, physically disabled men. Here we introduce and theorize with Project Re?Vision, our arts-based research project that resists this singularity by creating and centring, without normalizing, representations that have previously been relegated to the margins. We draw from body becoming and new materialist theory to explore the dynamic ways in which positionality illuminates bodies of difference and open into a discussion about what is at stake when these stories are let loose into the world. 相似文献
We study Poisson confidence procedures that potentially lead to short confidence intervals, investigating the class of all minimal cardinality procedures. We consider how length minimization should be properly defined, and show that Casella and Robert's (1989) criterion for comparing Poisson confidence procedures leads to a contradiction. We provide an alternative criterion for comparing length performance, identify the unique length optimal minimal cardinality procedure by this criterion, and propose a modification that eliminates an important drawback it possesses. We focus on procedures whose coverage never falls below the nominal level and discuss the case in which the nominal level represents mean coverage. 相似文献
This study (1) assessed whether parent health mediated associations between exposures to the 2010 BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill (BP-DHOS) and child health, and whether child health mediated associations between BP-DHOS exposures and parent health; and (2) assessed bidirectional longitudinal associations between parent health and child health following the BP-DHOS. The study used three waves of panel data (2014, 2016, and 2018) from South Louisiana communities highly impacted by the BP-DHOS. Parents with children (aged 4–18 at the time of the interview) were interviewed based on a probability sample of households. Focal measures included economic and physical BP-DHOS exposures, self-reported parent health, and parent-reported child health. Health measures were gathered at three time points. The analyses included mediation analysis and estimating and comparing effect sizes of longitudinal cross-lagged effects between parent health and child health. Results showed that parent health partly mediated associations between BP-DHOS exposures and child health, and that child health partly mediated associations between BP-DHOS exposures and parent health. Paths from prior waves of parent health to subsequent waves of child health were positive and statistically significant as were paths from prior waves of child health to subsequent waves of parent health. The differences in size of the child-to-parent health effects and the parent-to-child health effects were not statistically significant. This study’s results extend evidence for the post-disaster effect of parent health on child health and the effects of child health on parent health. These findings support the contention that harm to the health of one’s family member following disasters operates as a form of resource loss deleterious to one’s health.
