Global standards: promise and pitfalls for re‐inscribing social work into civil society1

This article critiques the modernist logical‐positivist ideology that has underscored social work, and interrogates the promise of the development of global standards to re‐inscribe social work into civil society at the global level. The potential pitfalls and dangers of such an initiative are also examined. The development of global standards was born out of an assumption that there is a common core to social work on a global level and on an essential affirmation of humanity and human dignity of all peoples across the world. Global standards might be construed to constitute a hegemonic Western discourse and a denial of context‐specific realities. However, a judicious, sensitive, post‐modernist and critical approach may enhance sensitivity towards difference and a greater appreciation of locally specific realities, within the global sphere.

The Place of Construction in Sociological Realism

In the contemporary epistemological debate on social reality, characterized by the crisis of post‐modern theories and the emergence of new forms of realism, are there any approaches not acknowledging some specific ontological character to the construction of social objects? The question is apparently rhetorical, but the implication of this problem are not obvious. In the sociological literature the opposition between reality and construction is not clearly defined. Sometimes it is considered a dichotomy, in other situations the synthesis of alternative theses in a dialectical horizon. The more systematic attempt considers reality and construction as analytical macro‐dimensions where the relation between social ontology and epistemology operates. From this stance, the acknowledgement of the role of social construction in a wider realist horizon is the true overtaking of postmodern philosophy. If it is true that facts exist beyond representations, it is also true that representations themselves have a specific effect on reality, who continually re‐structures itself around specific relations of emergent power. Stating that reality is socially constructed is an evident limit of postmodern theories. On the other hand, stating that only facts exist constitute an impoverishment of realism and its replacement in neo‐positivism. Social phenomena are real because they are based on specific properties of the inter‐subjective construction of social reality. This thesis represents the revitalization of an advanced, anti‐positivistic realism and the definition of the specificity of social objects. The aim of this essay is to search for a specific place of construction within the development of realist social ontology.

在现实主义和现代主义的视野里寻求和谐生存之道——论D·H·劳伦斯的《儿子与情人》

D.H.劳伦斯在小说《儿子与情人》中,通过批判现实主义手法描述了主人公保罗的爱情悲剧和家庭悲剧,揭示了英国工业文明对自然环境及人类和谐生存状态的破坏。同时,作为一个现代主义作家,劳伦斯探索了人的潜意识及如何在现代文明中构建和谐生存之道。劳伦斯认为,人类只有与自然界保持和谐的关系、重建两性之间和谐、自然的关系,才能克服现代文明社会带来的弊端,实现生存状态的和谐。劳伦斯对人类生存困境的探索不仅为同时代人提供了获得救赎的全新思路,在当今呼唤和谐社会的时代,仍为我们提供了有益的借鉴。     

后现代主义视野中的网络文化

20世纪60年代以来,计算机文化、网络文化已经开始与各种有关的后现代理论概念和技术的解释联系在了一起,从而使计算机网络具备了非中心化、个性化、变动性、渗透性等后现代的特征。网络作为一个跨国家、跨文化的信息空间,成为文化交流、对立的阵地,我们必须警惕网络霸权文化的渗透,构建自己的民族网络文化。
