Abstract
In the past decade, interest and research on critical consciousness has increased dramatically. This commentary updates and expands Sociopolitical Development Theory by Watts and Flanagan (Journal of Community Psychology, 35, 2007, 1), elaborating on elements of the theory and linking them to liberation praxis. Expansion included research of the interplay of social identity and Critical Social Analysis (CSA) (i.e., the deconstruction of oppression's causes and effects through a political lens). This exploratory, qualitative project analyzed narratives written by young adults seeking admission to a training program for community-organizers. The result was a framework of “Viewpoints” relevant to programming for adolescents. Sample quotes illustrate how combinations of CSA and social identities can enrich sociopolitical development and are enriched by intersectionalities.
在过去的十年里,人们对批判意识的兴趣和研究急剧增加。这篇评论更新并扩展了Watts和Flanagan的《社会政治发展理论》(Journal of Community Psychology, 35, 2007, 1),详细阐述了该理论的要素,并将它们与解放实践联系起来。扩展包括社会认同和批判性社会分析(CSA)的相互作用的研究(即,通过政治镜头解构压迫的原因和影响)。这个探索性质的项目分析了寻求加入社区组织者培训项目的年轻人所写的故事。其结果是一个与青少年方案编制有关的“观点”框架。示例引用说明了CSA和社会身份的结合如何丰富社会政治发展,并通过交叉性而丰富。
