Abstract. In this kind of opposition, chances for dialogue about complicated issues, chances for Ronni to promote change through communication of her perspective, and to use the experience of the school personnel for her own learning and growth were limited. In considering this approach to the course, I had begun to feel like Alice in Wonderland, believing as I did, that such conventions produce ever greater disjunctions between practitioners experiences and orthodox social work education. Cole, Nicki Lisa, Ph.D. "Introduction to Discourse in Sociology." We might even think of a discourse as a worldview in action. The . Foucault believed that discourse is created by those in power for specific reasons and is often used as a form of social control. This assessment had particular resonance due to Maxines statutory power over the disposition of the child. I will outline how critical reflection based on discourse analysis may generate useful perspectives for practitioners who struggle to make sense of the gap between critical aspirations and practice realities, and who often mediate that gap as a sense of personal failure. Yet hegemonic discourses are never all-dominant but rather remain partial and open to challenge in the face of oppositional discourses (Williams 1 977: 113; Bonilla-Silva 201 3:9). I was also worried that students coming to class hoping to refine their grasp of narrative therapy, brief therapy, solution-focused therapy or cognitive behavioural therapy, all within the context of an anti-oppressive stance, would be very disappointed by the substitution of esoteric critical ethics for advanced practice. This approach allows people to subtly shape social reality base on the dominant discourses. The failures of this fantasy cause us to suffer, to apologize, to despair. Discourse analysis accesses questions that help make social contradictions and ambivalence visible and it opens conceptual space regarding ones position within competing or dominant discourses. We know all too well the struggles of the child protection workers, welfare workers, and hospital workers who find it difficult to face the fate of their ideals within the construction of their practice. Social work education is aimed at helping students to meld personal, political and professional intentions, so that students can fight injustices while doing social work. ), Feminists Theorize the Political (pp. Carolyn Taylor and Susan White make a distinction between reflection and reflexivity where the latter adds a critical dimension by calling taken-for-granted assumptions into questions (Taylor & White, 2000). Also, she was well-informed about the ways that prevention and risk education inherently set up a trajectory of sex as normatively heterosexual, age appropriate sexual experience. In our class, discourse analysis helped illuminate the production of feelings of individual shame and apology as responses to practice. We want to use our work as a contribution, as something of value to the world. Relatively little published research explores issues pertaining to menstruation in school education. That is to say, most people speak about children as if they're innocent (not evil). If we define ideologysimply as ones worldview, which reflects ones socioeconomic position in society, then it follows that ideology influences the formation of institutions and the kinds of discourses that institutions create and distribute. 1 Discourse is, thus, a way of organising knowledge that . Work in social psychology has shown that the stereotype of blacks as violent and criminal is alive and well in American society (Eberhardt, Goff, Purdie, & (1996). Spivak, G. (1990). When we asked the critical question about what is left out of the story of attachment, it became clear that such a story is applied to individuals without regard to history and context. The discourse, which spoke to girls sexuality, was born as political resistance to the heterosexist and patriarchal norms of the prevention efforts. Critical Social Work, 2(1). Indeed, more how tos could only add to their apology stance. Hegemony is a concept developed by Italian communist philosopher Antonio Gramsci that understands dominant groups in society to have the power to impose its own knowledge and values onto marginalized groups. The idea of dominant discourse is important for therapists and counselors, because many people who need therapy and counseling are influenced negatively by the dominant discourses that prevail in their societies (Soal & Kottler, 1996). Indeed, Carol- Ann OBrian (O'Brien, 1999) documents the history of prevention of sexuality as the dominate focus of social work literature related to youth sexuality. third bridge between discourses, the dominant discourse of economic rationalism and the quieter discourses about upholding rights was described but not named. Ronnis anti-oppressive analysis focused on the disciplinary intent of social works history of excluding the existence of youth sexuality. This is noted as an area for development. Our constructed location is often a painful one. The knowledge she is expected to deploy is based on attachment theory the personality damage that results from interrupted early attachment. ), and it may be spoken in . Concepts like looting and rioting have been used in mainstream media coverage of the uprising that followed the police killings of Michael Brown and Freddie Gray. Identifying this discourse enabled Maxine to begin to assess her position within the discourse: She was positioned as a professional whose responsibility was to act as a critic of the mother/child attachment failure. Gee's definition of Discourse is a theory that explains how language works in society. These reactions may have political worth, but they have the effect of occluding the inevitable messiness of our constructed place, thus leaving the field open for individual self-doubt and apology. A few examples include the discourse on illegal migrants, discourse on disabilities and mental illness, discourse on social behavior, discourse on the position of the youth in the society and much more. as doctors or patients), and it is these social effects of discourse that are focused on in discourse analysis. He notes that discourse is distinctly material in effect, producing what he calls 'practices that systematically form the objects of which they speak'. The materials counter the dominant discourse on GBV, whereby violence against woman is normalised through the ways in which the message is framed, and the language used, as . When we hear words like this, concepts charged full of meaning, we deduce things about the people involved--that they are lawless, crazed, dangerous, and violent. No wonder we cling to the fantasy of the smooth trajectory of practice. This intellectual interest can be found in the ways we re-experience value commitments through openness to the question at the heart of critical social work: What does social work have to do with justice? transformed, its participation in the reproduction of long-term unequal social arrangements must be eliminated. Thus, Maxine is positioned to assess and discipline Ms. M. She cannot find room for the very insider knowledge she is supposed to have. Understanding our perspectives as contingent enables us to understand our own complicated construction within a field of multiple stories giving rise to multiple perspectives. Foucault adopted the term 'discourse' to denote a historically contingent social system that produces knowledge and meaning. Teaching this class was a daunting prospect. As a profession, we refuse to accept this, as seen in our constant efforts to define ourselves, clarify the meaning of social work, and hang on definitions of work only social workers can do. Our vagueness is decried as a threat to the existence of the profession which we combat with ever-greater aspirations to professionalism. as social subjects (e.g. In social work research, this ap- Cole, Nicki Lisa, Ph.D. "Introduction to Discourse in Sociology." (1992). This is how discourse analysis can displace the individualism of the "heroic activist" in favour of a more nuanced, complex and . The words that dominated a 2011 Republican presidential debate hosted by Fox News. In particular, dominant structures are subject to question because of the ways in which meanings are constructed on oppositional lines (p. 203). Contested territory: Sexualities and social work. . A discourse is a system of words, actions, rules, and beliefs that share common values. Once these dependencies were uncovered, alternatives to opposition emerged. Truth and method (J. W. a. D. G. Marshall, Trans. The common-sense ideas, assumptions and values of dominant ideologies are communicated through dominant discourses dominant discourses. Finally the strengths perspective will be . A dominant discourse of race often positions whiteness as . Critical social work helps people to understand the dominant ideology discourse and relocate subjectively in to that discourse. Weinberg, L. (2004). I understand these vantage points in the case studies I will describe as: 1) an historical consciousness, 2) access to understanding what is left out of discourses in use, 3) understanding of how actors are positioned in discourse, all leading to: 4) a new set of questions which expose the gap between the construction of practice possibilities and social justice values, thus allowing for a new understanding of the limitations, constraints and possibilities within the context of the practice problem. 14) through which certain social phenomena, such as 'need', 'knowledge' and 'intervention', are constructed. From this position, responsibility for the problems were located in the mother, who, in attachment terms, did not properly manage the separation and reunification issues. Discourses facilitate the process by which certain information comes to be accepted as unquestionable truth. Introduction to Discourse in Sociology. Ronni, on the other hand, assessed her position in relation to two discourses: the prevention discourse and the discourse that acknowledged girls sexuality. A conventional course on advanced practice should explicate practice theories, perhaps compare and critically analyze them and then devise methods for their application in practice. Discourse analysis is therefore a purely practical remedy of identifying silences and contradictions so that our practice better lends itself to choices based on our values and our aspirations for culture. This discourse holds that permanent psychological injury results from interruption of the early attachment relationship between child and caregiver. In other words we challenged the god trick of an all-encompassing, unlocated perspective, in Donna Haraways terms (Haraway, 1988, p. 581). Were asked to help but not make people dependent. This contradiction is internalized by Maxine in the form of her belief that she has failed Ms. M and that her monumental efforts did not make a difference in this case. As one of us, she is expected to deploy white, Western knowledge with her Caribbean clients - clients she is given because of her special knowledge. In other words, she embodies the contradiction between professional expectations to deploy Eurocentric knowledge while also being positioned to deliver service to those who are an exception to that knowledge. Fook, J. Ronni_Gorman@yahoo.ca. This distance from the immediate thought of practice is enabled by a focus on discursive boundaries, rather than the technical implementation of practice theories that are part of discursive fields. New York: Routledge. Ms. M had immigrated to Canada when she was an adolescent. which can be measured and known through research . What is discourse in social work? Principles of social justice, human rights, collective responsibility and respect for diversities are central to social work. My students came to class as failed heroes. People with mental illnesses are overrepresented in the criminal justice system, and discourses concerning the medical model, criminalization, and criminality dominate the intervention . It is important to consider the role of opposition here. Discourse is understood as a way of perceiving, framing, and viewing the world. When we fail, we describe the result as burnout. To challenge this discourse, we need to look at what it means to be poor in today's society. Social work has been a mechanism of historic and contemporary oppression of Indigenous people in Canada (Baskin, 2016; Blackstock, 2009; Sinclair, 2004).Using moralizing and normalizing discourses, social work has advanced a state-sanctioned, settler colonialist agenda that has harmed Indigenous individuals, families, and communities over generations. 3, p. Such critical analysis allows us to contemplate a major question at the heart of her practice: How can historical consciousness, left out of psychological discourses, contribute to forming relations of solidarity with our clients, thus enabling practice better aligned with justice? When we look outside the boundaries of discourses, we may discover practice questions which help us reflect on power and possibility. In turn, such assessments act against the internalization of the contradictions played out in social work practice. These behaviors and patterns of speech and writing reflect the ideologies of those who have the most power in the society. Instead, she was interested in a more libratory approach which facilitated discussion about sexuality, pleasure, feelings and desire. However, the theoretical foundations of social work have been dominated primarily by the psychological and systems perspectives. . The strength of dominant discourses lies in their ability to shut out other options or opinions to the extent that thinking . We can also assess how discourses position us in relation to other professionals and to clients. I understand these vantage points in the two case studies I have described in the four ways: 1) an historical consciousness, 2) access to understanding what is left out of discourses in use, 3) understanding of how actors are positioned in discourse, all leading to: 4) a new perspective which exposes the gap between the construction of practice possibilities and social justice values, thus allowing for field of limited and constrained choices which may either narrow the gap, or make clear the impossibility of options and choice in the particular case. This vantage point opens opportunities for practice that work towards Ronnis social justice goals. This paper is based on the results of an Australian survey of 5007 young women aged 13-25, which examined their experiences of menstruation and dysmenorrhea. Adult Education Quarterly, 48 (3), 185-198. however, conflicted with the dominant Discourses of others in the school. 22-40). After all, says Stephen Brookfield, Experience can teach us habits of bigotry, stereotyping and disregard for significant but inconvenient information. Situated knowledges: The science question in feminism and the privilege of partial perspective. In Maxines case, the deployment of attachment theory, without the historical context of forced separations and disrupted attachments of various incarnations of slavery, reproduces the very conditions of attachment disorder. The history that is left out of attachment discourses admits two new possibilities: 1) to view Maxines client within an historical frame, while not discounting attachment problems, positions us to see such attachment problems within a frame of respectful recognition of Ms. M. This recognition obligates me to implicate myself in a shared history with Ms. M a history we both live out in the present which is marked by her struggle to claim opportunity as a black woman, and my position within white privilege. We began to think about the history of forced separation and forced disruption of families beginning with the importation of African slaves to the Caribbean. Most social workers take up the profession because of personal ideals. I would like to turn to two case studies which illustrate how discourse analysis was used by students. Given the mandate of working with marginalized people, this particular nexus is a place of crushing ambivalence. What Is Political Socialization? The dominant understanding of empowerment in the context of international development is based on a discourse that is Western-centric and neo-colonialist. This is how discourse analysis can displace the individualism of the heroic activist in favour of a more nuanced, complex and sophisticated analysis. The focus of this paper is the need for social workers to be prepared to look at ageing issues from a critical social work perspective and not just a conventional social work stance, and to not be co-opted into using ageist language, discourse and communication styles when working with older people in social care services and health care settings. In this hope for practice as justice, the responsibility of social work is shifted from change at the more discreet levels of individuals, families, groups, communities, to the social determinants that produce private troubles. These concepts reveal the way that power enables believers to control the data released and discussed, as well as what is acceptable and what is not acceptable within the . Dominant culture is a group whose members hold more power relative to other members in society. Lets take a closer look at the relationships between institutions and discourse. It aims to understand how language is used in real life situations. In J. Fook (Ed. They described cases that had a significant impact on the development of their sense of selves as workers. Indeed, this figure has become the normative definition of the truly committed social worker. Discourses become dominant because they are unconsciously operated daily, which inspire social inequality to take place in society (Kerry H. Robinson show more content When oppositions are in place, what boundaries are erected? London: Routledge. The case studies were stories of clients whom they remembered with a sense of failure or apology or shame. Critical reflectivity in education and practice. These students either had significant work experience, or experience in a previous practicum to draw from. Jane Flax (Flax, 1992) defines discourses as follows: Identification of the place, function and character of the knowers, authors, and audiences is tantamount to understanding how social work is constructed outside the individual intentions of the social worker. The dominant discourses in our society powerfully influence what gets "storied" and how it gets storied. Ronnis approach had an explicitly political agenda: she opposed prevention discourses as ways of silencing female desire. Rossiter, A. Major theorists such as Michel Foucault and Stuart Hall . They also positioned Ronni in relations of opposition to school personnel. This paper concerns the relation between critical reflective practice and social workers lived experience of the complicated and contradictory world of practice. It is a story that cannot be told within the reigning discourse of attachment. Ronni worked with Tara from a critique of prevention and risk education strategies normally used in dealing with girls sexuality. Discourse typically emerges out of social institutionslike media and politics (among others), and by virtue of giving structure and order to language and thought, it structures and orders our lives, relationships with others, and society. She moved out on her own, successfully pursued advanced education and was on the verge of achieving professional accreditation at the time of Maxines contact with her. He wrote and lectured on the interactions between discourse analysis and social relationships in social work. Practising reflectivity in health and welfare: Making knowledge . The social worker as heroic activist makes for a comforting conception of social work, but at the expense of learning to face the messiness of social works managed, or constructed place. Social workers were critiqued as being a part of the problem by choosing to emphasize casework as a model of practice, an approach . (1992). Indeed, many . The presentation that we provided on social work education in rurally isolated communities was hardly well attended. Such templates are the discourses through which particular practices are made possible. We remove children from disadvantaged families by targeting mothering skills. Its evident that discourse is the compilation of particular ideologies and beliefs concerning a certain bracket in the society. I was at once horrified by the level of individual self-recrimination in the cases, and inspired by the deep levels of commitment, thought and reflection evidenced by these students. Dominant discourse demonstrates how reality has been socially constructed. Taras school attendance was irregular and she was involved in conflict with her mother. One of the advantages of identifying discourses-in-use in practice is that we gain access to how we are positioned within discourses. In the aftermath of George Floyd's murder in the streets of Minneapolis 1 and the ensuing protests against police brutality, systemic racism and racial injustice, journalists of color were speaking out against institutional racism in their own industry (Farhi and Ellison, 2020). Rossiter, A. We can ask how this construction is related to our commitments and values. Such interventions are aimed at delaying sexual activity until appropriate ages and also educating around the risks of sexuality. I am arguing that social work, because of its focus on marginalized people, is a concentrated site of social, political and cultural ambivalence and contradiction. This toolkit is meant for anyone who feels there is a lack of productive discourse around issues of diversity and the role of identity in social relationships, both on a micro (individual) and macro (communal) level. The sense of the multiple stories at play helped relocate the notion of experience as brute reality carrying authority by virtue of being real to a notion of experience as constructed, contingent, and always interpreted. Taking the case of racially charged events in Ferguson, MO, and Baltimore, MD that played out from 2014 through 2015, we can also see Foucaults articulation of the discursive concept at play. Discourses delineate what can be said within a given set of ideas so that critical practice is exercised when we try to look at what is excluded by a particular discourse in order to alternative viewpoints. ), Feminists theorize the political (pp. Maxines client, for example, comes to Canada seeking greater opportunity: opportunity that originated over two hundred years ago when my ancestors on the coast of Rhode Island traded with the Caribbean for goods produced by slave labour thus giving birth to the very American capitalism that created the need for Maxines and Ms. Ms migration in search of opportunity. 131-155). Such an analysis might allow us to ask the kind of questions that are the heart of social work ethics: How, for example, could we think differently about child welfare practices with black families if our work were guided first and foremost by a desire to find forms of practice that take into account centuries of trauma from racial injustice? as "deviant," in opposition to a dominant desire for adaptation. Here, I want to gather strands of the previous discussion. Critical discourse analysis (or discourse analysis) is a research method for studying written or spoken language in relation to its social context. Geography. Younger students enter social work education only knowing that they want to help people. Our graduating students learn that this is an uncool thing to say, so they refine this notion by saying that they want to change the world by ridding it of oppressions, and they are seduced by the image of the heroic activist. Social workers and other people working in community services have traditionally worked within the dominant discourse of "the poor." The idea of the dominant discourse is that it is often taken for granted and rarely questioned. In doing so, we increase our choices or at least, our awareness regarding how we participate in the creation of culture. . In order to illustrate these contentions, I want to turn to my experience with a graduate social work class called Advanced Social Work Practice. Maxine pointed out, for example, that Caribbean women were previously allowed to immigrate to Canada to take up positions as domestic servants but were expressly forbidden to bring their children. (1999). Assessing the impact and implications for social workers of an innovative children's services programme aimed to support workforce reform and integrated working. Perhaps you are a teacher, youth group facilitator, student affairs personnel or manage a team that works with an . Dominant Ideology Definition. In discussions of immigration reform, the most frequently spoken word was illegal, followed by immigrants, country, border, illegals, and citizens.. Ronni aligned herself politically with resistance to heterosexism and patriarchy. Dominant discourse is a way of speaking or behaving on any given topic it is the language and actions that appear most prevalently within a given society. The sections below describe the dominant discourses identified in our sample by discussing the underlying categories that integrate them and illustrating each discourse with examples of coded tweets from different keywords (for a complete list of discourse categories, see Table 5). How did some discursive positions conflict with their own self-knowledge? Cole, Nicki Lisa, Ph.D. (2020, August 28). London: Sage. I argue that understanding this process of production is a way of doing ethics which reduces, or at least acknowledges the unintended, often subliminal consequences of practice that flow from social ambivalence which constructs social workers and service recipients in the conduct of practice. Maxine considered how she was positioned both by discourses of professionalism and by the attachment discourses used to explain Ms. M. As a professional with statutory power, Maxine was given Caribbean family cases due to her insider status. It has proved difficult to reconcile conventional theories of practice with a vision of social work as social justice work. Ideology thus shapes discourse, and, once discourse is infused throughout society, it, in turn, influences the reproduction of ideology. A conflict occurred between Ronnis perspective and that of school personnel when Tara disclosed her pregnancy to Ronni. Helping people learn what they do: Breaking dependence on experts. Throughout our analyses, we worked to understand what views discourses permitted or inhibited. For example: A dominant discourse of gender often positions women as gentle and men as active heroes. In Critical Social Justice, dominance is the yang to oppression's yin. In our case, the class project was to scrutinize the knowledge claims embedded in cases and to understand the implication of such claims for their affective relationship to practice as well as on the experience of their clients. Brookfield, S. (1996). Ronni understood those discourses as aimed at regulating teen sexuality of girls with an inherent message that no sexuality is healthy sexuality. Feminist Studies, 14(3), 575-599. Critical case study: My experience with Tara .Unpublished manuscript, Toronto. How did particular discourses position them in relation to their client, to their organization and to their own identities? Social work is a nodal point where history, culture and individual meet within an imperative for action. New York: Routledge. 1 Is that individual oppressed based on race or part of the dominant group due to her positioning as a Ronni allowed her to talk about sexual pleasure, her perceptions of her sexuality and her understanding of sexual relationships. The community discourse is consistent with the social work value base in emphasising social justice, community empowerment and the rights of marginalised groups (Ife, 2008). Original language.
