This article unpacks some complexities of ‘decolonizing’ in Ireland, a complicated semiperipheral ‘mixed colony’, in which rhetorics, logic, and grammar are simultaneously colonial and decolonial, interrupting and complicitly reproducing divisive and dehumanizing colonialities of knowledge and being. The global call to decolonize academia invites Irish social scientists to confront significant social divisions, economic precarities, and epistemic erasures. I present ‘decolonial repair’ as a doubled figure of return and mending, engaging the decolonial work of double translation: centring anti-colonial thought and enacting horizontal dialogue. Facing partly obscured colonial wounds that remain difficult to countenance, a doubled repair re-approaches transformation via renewed engagements between non-Occidental demands for decolonization and ambiguous legacies of extraversion. Unpacking elisions, complicities, and precarities of Irish social science, this article teases out what ‘decolonizing social science’ might entail in a semiperipheral, white(ly) post-colony. In keeping with the scope of this journal and the defining role of sociology in the social sciences, this article focusses on sociology as a lens for discussing the broader, constitutive elisions, turns, and complicities of Irish social science. The broader aim and hope is to help unpack some of the challenges, projects, and pitfalls involved in this Special Issue's focus on ‘decolonizing academia’.
爱尔兰是一个复杂的半边缘 "混合殖民地",修辞学、逻辑学和语法学同时具有殖民地和非殖民化的特征,打断了知识和存在的分裂性和非人性化殖民地特征,并与之共谋再现。学术界去殖民化的全球呼声要求爱尔兰社会科学家正视重大的社会分歧、经济不稳定和认识论上的抹杀。我提出的 "非殖民化修复 "是回归与修补的双重形象,涉及双重翻译的非殖民化工作:以反殖民思想为中心,开展横向对话。面对部分被掩盖的殖民创伤(这些创伤仍然难以被正视),双重修复通过重新参与非巧合性的非殖民化要求与模棱两可的外向性遗产之间的关系,重新实现转型。本文通过对爱尔兰社会科学的不确定性、共谋性和不稳定性的分析,揭示了 "非殖民化社会科学 "在一个半边缘化的白人后殖民地可能带来的影响。为了与本刊的范围和社会学在社会科学中的决定性作用保持一致,本文将社会学作为讨论爱尔兰社会科学更广泛的、构成性的捉摸、转向和共谋的一个视角。更广泛的目的和希望是帮助解读本特刊关注 "非殖民化学术界 "所涉及的一些挑战、项目和陷阱。

A contribution to the critique of Irish sociology 对爱尔兰社会学批判的贡献

Irish society is situated within a period of epoch-defining social change. We are facing in to a short number of decades, which promise the significant re-shaping of the political and social contours of our nation. Irish sociology's disciplinary mandate is to analyse that change, yet a historical debate has found new expression – heightened by the 30 th anniversary of the Irish Journal of Sociology (IJS) and the 50 th anniversary of the formation of the Sociological Association of Ireland (SAI) – as to whether the discipline is utilising the appropriate means to achieve its ends. The current sociological division of labour is unevenly balanced, with empirical inquiry and sub-disciplinary focus privileged over systemic and synthesised social theorising. In the absence of such theorising, sociology runs the risk of remaining an empirical adjunct to other disciplines, as opposed to its rightful position at the centre of the constellation of social sciences. This paper acts as a contribution to the critique of Irish sociology, considering the extent of the disciplines absent centre, providing an analysis as to how we have reached our particular disciplinary juncture and offering certain proposals regarding appropriate analytical anchors for future theoretical focus.
爱尔兰社会正处于一个具有划时代意义的社会变革时期。我们正面临着短短的几十年,在这几十年里,我们国家的政治和社会轮廓有望得到重大的重新塑造。爱尔兰社会学的学科任务是分析这种变化,然而一场历史性的辩论已经找到了新的表达方式——在《爱尔兰社会学杂志》(IJS)创刊30周年和爱尔兰社会学协会(SAI)成立50周年之际——该学科是否利用了适当的手段来实现其目标。当前的社会学分工是不平衡的,实证研究和子学科的关注优先于系统和综合的社会理论。在缺乏这样的理论化的情况下,社会学面临的风险是,它仍然是其他学科的经验附属物,而不是它在社会科学星座中心的应有地位。本文对爱尔兰社会学的批判做出了贡献,考虑到学科缺失中心的程度,提供了关于我们如何达到特定学科结合点的分析,并为未来的理论焦点提供了适当的分析锚点的某些建议。

In December 2019, in Wuhan in China an outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported. In late February 2020, the first cases of the virus were recorded in Ireland. By 11th March, the World Health Organisation had declared the outbreak a pandemic and on 12th March, An Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar announced that all schools would close with effect from 6pm that day. The schools remained closed until September. This paper considers the impact of the closure of primary schools on both principals’ and teachers’ wellbeing. A mixed-methods, longitudinal research methodology was undertaken. There were two phases to the research. Phase one was undertaken in June and July 2020 when teachers and principals participated in a semi-structured interview and completed two questionnaires: the Emotional Regulation questionnaire and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory. Phase 2 of data collection was completed in December/January 2021/2021 when the teachers participated in a further interview and completed the questionnaires again. The overall aim of the study was to provide an opportunity for principals and teachers to reflect on how the pandemic impacted on their wellbeing and by inference, the impact of the increased emotional labour of teaching during COVID.
2019年12月,中国武汉报告了冠状病毒(COVID-19)疫情。2020年2月下旬,爱尔兰记录了第一例该病毒病例。到3月11日,世界卫生组织宣布疫情爆发为大流行。3月12日,爱尔兰总理利奥·瓦拉德卡宣布,所有学校将从当天下午6点开始停课。学校一直关闭到9月。本文考虑了小学关闭对校长和教师福利的影响。采用混合方法,纵向研究方法。这项研究分为两个阶段。第一阶段于2020年6月和7月进行,教师和校长参加了半结构化访谈,并完成了两份问卷:情绪调节问卷和哥本哈根倦怠量表。第二阶段的数据收集于2021/2021年12月/ 1月完成,教师再次接受访谈并完成问卷调查。该研究的总体目标是为校长和教师提供一个机会,让他们反思大流行如何影响他们的福祉,并由此推断,在COVID期间增加教学情绪劳动的影响。

“Last orders, please!”: The disappearance of communicative spaces at universities “最后的命令,请!”:大学交流空间的消失

This paper uses the thick description of one recent experience – the closure of the Common Room Club at University College Dublin – to highlight the gap that exists between rhetoric and reality at institutions of higher education in Ireland and beyond. I argue that common rooms have always been part and parcel of the ‘invisible university’. They provide the infrastructure to support what has been called the ‘lifeworld’, sustaining both the communicative experiences of their members and providing vital venues for visitors who are through them more readily drawn into the communicative life of colleagues. As unique spaces within much larger institutions, common rooms form both a protected shield and also a porous social community against the encroachment of the university system's instrumental action and reasoning. However, recent changes in higher education have accelerated the pace of change and the quest for top-down modernisation. As a reaction, and almost by default, the common room has taken on a new function for faculty, staff and visitors and turned into a place of encounter between people and ideas critical and often opposed to managerialism, bureaucratisation and the mindless emulation of higher education's fads and foibles. At University College Dublin, this new role did not remain unnoticed by the University management and triggered an extreme reaction – enforced closure. My paper closes by dwelling on an important question that points into an uncertain future: is it possible for any institution that purports to be a centre of higher learning to either quell or attempt to ‘manage’ lifeworld experiences and sceptical voices for any length of time? In other words, can a university still fulfil its very function and expect loyalty without allowing ‘voice’ (A. O. Hirschman) to be heard?
本文对最近的一次经历——都柏林大学学院公共休息室俱乐部的关闭——进行了详尽的描述,以强调爱尔兰及其他地区高等教育机构的言论与现实之间存在的差距。我认为公共休息室一直是“隐形大学”的一部分。他们提供了支持所谓“生活世界”的基础设施,维持了成员的交流体验,并为通过他们更容易融入同事交流生活的访客提供了重要的场所。作为大得多的机构中的独特空间,公共休息室既是一个受保护的盾牌,也是一个多孔的社会社区,以抵御大学系统的工具性行动和推理的侵蚀。然而,最近高等教育的变革加快了变革的步伐,也加快了自上而下的现代化。作为一种反应,几乎在默认情况下,公共休息室为教职员工和访客承担了一种新的功能,并变成了人们和思想之间的交流场所,这些人和思想往往反对管理主义、官僚主义和盲目模仿高等教育的时尚和弱点。在都柏林大学学院,这一新角色并没有被大学管理层忽视,并引发了极端反应——强制关闭。我的论文最后探讨了一个重要问题,这个问题指向了一个不确定的未来:任何一所声称是高等教育中心的机构,是否有可能在任何时间内压制或试图“管理”生活世界的经历和怀疑的声音?换句话说,一所大学在不允许“声音”(a.O.Hirschman)被听到的情况下,还能履行其职能并期望忠诚吗?

Representations of older people in Irish public broadcaster's online news coverage during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic 在冠状病毒大流行的早期阶段,爱尔兰公共广播公司在线新闻报道中老年人的代表

The media influences how we perceive and understand the world, groups of people, and events. The media has been criticised for portraying older people and aging predominantly negatively. In 2020, older people became the focal point of governmental responses in the management of the coronavirus pandemic. In this article, we explore how older people were represented in the officially most legitimate part of Irish news media during the first year of coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. A sample of 137 articles was drawn from Ireland's national broadcasting company (Raidió Teilifís Éireann) online news content, and thematic analysis was applied to interrogate representations of older people in these data from a social constructivist perspective. Older people featured as ‘the face of COVID-19’ due to their constant and accentuated framing as especially vulnerable to the virus. Older adults were construed as a burden to the public, families, and the healthcare system and as a risk to healthcare workers. They were portrayed as powerless and rendered almost completely ‘voiceless’ as their own views rarely featured in the news content. The social constructions of older persons during the coronavirus pandemic reflected and exceeded the (typically implicit) ageism in contemporary western societies.
媒体影响我们对世界、人群和事件的感知和理解。媒体因对老年人和老龄化的负面描述而受到批评。2020年,老年人成为政府应对冠状病毒大流行的焦点。在这篇文章中,我们探讨了在2019冠状病毒病大流行的第一年,老年人是如何在爱尔兰新闻媒体官方最合法的部分出现的。从爱尔兰国家广播公司(RaidióTeilifísÉireann)的在线新闻内容中抽取了137篇文章的样本,并应用主题分析从社会建构主义的角度询问了这些数据中老年人的表现。老年人被称为“新冠肺炎的代言人”,因为他们经常被强调为特别容易感染病毒。老年人被认为是公众、家庭和医疗系统的负担,也是医护人员的风险。他们被描绘成无能为力,几乎完全“无声”,因为他们自己的观点很少出现在新闻内容中。新冠疫情期间老年人的社会结构反映并超越了当代西方社会中(典型的隐性)年龄歧视。

Disruption of everyday life in times of crises – explanatory factors of well-being among students during COVID-19 危机时期日常生活的中断——COVID-19期间学生幸福感的解释因素

This article examines explanatory factors behind well-being among Danish students during the COVID-19 crisis. The empirical analyses are based on a two round panel survey among students at Roskilde University in Denmark. Using fixed effect regression and random effect regression our results show that, amongst the variables included in the analysis, the level of self-assessed structure in everyday life has the strongest positive effect on the self-assessed level of well-being. We briefly discuss this finding which is supported by qualitative data from the survey. The article concludes that the major changes in everyday life, caused by the COVID-19 crisis and societal lockdown, for example, isolation, virtual classes etc., makes it more difficult to draw upon internalized habits and navigate socially, which may contribute negatively to well-being. Conceptually, the article calls for a deeper engagement with the role of everyday life structure and its effects on well-being at a more general level.
本文研究了新冠肺炎危机期间丹麦学生幸福感背后的解释因素。实证分析基于对丹麦罗斯基勒大学学生的两轮小组调查。使用固定效应回归和随机效应回归,我们的结果表明,在分析中包括的变量中,日常生活中的自我评估结构水平对自我评估的幸福感水平具有最强的积极影响。我们简要讨论了这一发现,该发现得到了调查定性数据的支持。文章的结论是,新冠肺炎危机和社会封锁导致的日常生活的重大变化,例如隔离、虚拟课堂等,使人们更难利用内在习惯和社交,这可能会对幸福感产生负面影响。从概念上讲,这篇文章呼吁在更普遍的层面上深入了解日常生活结构的作用及其对幸福感的影响。

Conceptually, the article calls for a deeper engagement with the role of everyday life structure and its effects on well-being at a more general level.","PeriodicalId":52497,"journal":{"name":"Irish Journal of Sociology","volume":"31 1","pages":"229 - 253"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43368406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Disability policies, transnationalism and policy diffusion: ‘Asocial’ models of inclusion for children and youth in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) 残疾政策、跨国主义和政策扩散:低收入和中等收入国家儿童和青年包容的“反社会”模式

This paper examines the advances made by low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in the inclusion of children with disabilities and youth within mainstream policies on education, employment, health, and social care provisions and the implications on their outcomes. Theoretically, this paper advances critical disability studies and addresses stigma and discrimination as barriers to progressive social policies. It also critically examines the diffusion of the social model of disability, which finds expression in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Methodologically, this paper uses latent class analysis (LCA) to analyse clusters of LMICs, regarding the adoption of social-legal provisions as stipulated by the CRPD. Finally, the paper concludes with a paradigm shift within the sociology of disability towards a sociology of enablement within the fold of emancipatory politics that addresses stigma and discrimination.
本文研究了中低收入国家在将残疾儿童和青年纳入教育、就业、卫生和社会护理规定的主流政策方面取得的进展,以及对其结果的影响。从理论上讲,本文推进了批判性残疾研究,并将污名和歧视视为进步社会政策的障碍。它还严格审查了《残疾人权利公约》所体现的残疾社会模式的传播情况。在方法论上,本文使用潜在类别分析(LCA)来分析LMIC集群,涉及《残疾人权利公约》规定的社会法律条款的通过。最后,本文总结了残疾社会学的范式转变,在解放政治的框架内,向解决污名和歧视问题的促进社会学转变。
