Integrating cultural competency and empirically-based practices in child welfare services: A model based on community psychiatry field principles of health

Acknowledging the existence of racism in our society is crucial to understanding the need for a culturally competent approach to developing empirically-based practices in child welfare, thereby providing a foundation for evidence-based practice in the field. Advancements have already been made in mental health to address cultural competence and evidence-based practice. This article presents a model of seven field principles of health promotion successfully used in the mental health services. Examples of the use of the model in various settings and evaluation projects are provided. Each of the seven principles – rebuilding/supporting the village; providing access to health care; improving bonding, attachment and connectedness; improving self-esteem; increasing social skills of target recipients; reestablishing/strengthening the adult protective shield; and minimizing residual effects of trauma (Bell et al., 2002) – is elaborated. The model's critical role in establishing culturally competent evidence-based practice is further outlined for application in the field of child welfare.     

Research with American Indian communities: The value of authentic partnerships

Developing evidence for practice is particularly difficult when attempting to accurately capture the experiences of diverse communities. In American Indian communities, the lack of communication between researchers and their subjects has been increasingly recognized. Recent adjustments to research methods, such as community-based participatory research (CBPR) have attempted to emphasize the importance of recognizing the needs and wishes of those studied. Yet, perhaps due to imperfect application, they may fall short in promoting participation and yielding accurate results. A number of fallacies can hinder successful use of the model including the assumption that ‘cultural sensitivity’ or even locating a project in the community of interest will open the door to successful engagement. Reality-based research was conceived to address these potential deficiencies. It builds on CBPR and is proposed as a means to more effectively develop a connection between American Indians who might benefit from the research relationship and the researchers themselves. An example of a reality-based research project on tobacco use is provided and steps for adopting this approach in child welfare are outlined. These steps set this article apart from other works seeking to address this issue and provide concrete practical assistance to researchers in the field.

论葛兰西文化霸权理论中的“文化等置意识形态”范式

葛兰西文化霸权理论的＂文化＂向度引来了40年来文化研究的＂葛兰西转向＂,其理论中的＂文化＂蕴涵着权力与政治色彩,发挥着建构意识形态权力话语的职能。从其本质来看,葛兰西语境下的文化霸权就是意识形态的领导权。对葛兰西文化霸权理论中文化与意识形态场域加以分析,阐述其把＂文化与意识形态等置＂的特定语境及生成酵素,对于在深层学理...     

马克思主义的指导地位与中国共产党的文化自觉简

马克思主义在意识形态领域指导地位的确立和发展与中国共产党的文化自觉密切相关。面对近代以来中国人民在思想文化领域中的空前民族危机,马克思主义因其所展现的美好社会价值理念而被中国的知识分子所接受,并以其所具有的革命性、现代性和与中国文化的相融性特点而取代传统文化,居于意识形态领域的核心,使社会主义成为中国的主流价值观念。其后,在中国革命和建设的道路中,这一主流价值观念在中国共产党的文化自觉中被不断地赋予中国特色的内容,从而成为中国共产党带领全国人民实现中华民族伟大复兴梦的思想理论基础。     

地理标志产品与县域经济发展

地理标志是指产品的“籍贯”或“原籍”,用于指示一项产品的原产地,其特定质量也完全或者主要取决于该地的自然因素与人文因素.本文以福建平和琯溪蜜柚产业的地方实践为个案,意在说明地理标志产品对县域经济发展所产生的深度影响,其潜存的价值不仅是在农业之内寻求农业可持续发展的重要路径,对于我们理解农业文化遗产的保护与传承机制同样具有重要的现实价值.从这个意义上说,保护地理标志的实质就是在现代集约农业背景下保护区域生态系统,保护一种以历史传统和文化心理为精神纽带的地方资源.     

"家国同构"观念的形成、实质及其影响

家与国的同构状态是中国古代社会的重要特征,它是中国古代特定历史条件下的产物。反过来,由此产生的“家国同构”观念不仅未能促进家与国的良性互动,反而使两者拉开了距离和走向对立。同时。它还将出于自然之情的孝与忠互相结合,要求臣民对君主不仅要作理性上的绝对服从,而且还要作感性上的父权认同,使其政权的“合法性”变得更加牢靠。最后,它对中国传统政治的发展也产生了一系列影响。在倡导民主政治的今天,匡清旧义,对这一观念作清醒的认识不无现实意义。
