风险社会视角的灾难与社会工作——台湾经验

尝试借用贝克提出的风险社会概念,反思9.21大地震和八八水灾中台湾社工的相关作为,并说明贝克所提出的风险社会视角带给社工关于灾难社会工作实践的启发:激化生活在其中的社工人和服务对象的能动性,并对社会工作实践世界的历史构成进行批判性思考。

Disasters from the Perspective of Risk Society and Social Work from the Experience of Taiwan

In the face of catastrophes and people suffering them,the idea of solving problem and satisfying the urgent needs of the refugees is often a matter of course haunting the social workers.However,it is frustrating that in recent years various problems derived from the natural catastrophes have not disappeared but spread rampantly.How can we learn from these catastrophes and catastrophe relief experience? This paper attempts to borrow Beck’s concept of risk society,reflect on the social workers’ catastrophe relief experiences during the accidents of 921 Earthquakes and 88 Flood in Taiwan,and discuss some thoughts of disaster social work practice inspired by Beck’s perspective of risk society.
