Previous issue date: 2001-03-27 / We are aware that the substitute home placement programs (Keepers, guardianshipo or adoption) will not, unfortunately, benefit many of the children living in abandoned/child institutions. For that reason, they remain at the institution until they are legally of age (majority), when they will be, inevitable, dismissed. The present study focuses, therefore, on the experience of abandoned and institutionalized adolescents in face of being disconnected from the institution due to becoming legally adults. This will be a qualitative research, based on the phenomenology approach, analyzing depositions of teen-agers who are experiencing the disconnection process. Considering their perspective, we establish a discussion/reflection on the meaning/representation the adolescents have of the institutional disconnection and on the role played by the educators in the complex of institutional practices. We point to possible alternatives which will enable more satisfactory disconnection processes for the adolescents as well as for the professionals that work with them / Sabemos que muitas das crianças abrigadas em instituições para abandonados, infelizmente, não serão beneficiadas pelos Programas de Colocação em Lar Substituto (guarda, tutela e adoção). Desse modo, passam a viver na instituição até que completem a maioridade quando, inevitavelmente, terão que ser desligadas. Este estudo vem focalizar, portanto, a experiência de adolescentes abandonados e institucionalizados frente ao desligamento institucional, em função da maioridade. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de base fenomenológica onde buscamos trabalhar com depoimentos de jovens que estão vivenciando o processo de desligamento. A partir da perspectiva destes, estabelecemos uma discussão/reflexão em torno do significado/representação do desligamento na vida dos adolescentes e do papel dos educadores no conjunto das práticas institucionais, encaminhando-nos para possíveis alternativas que viabilizem processos de desligamentos mais satisfatórios tanto para os adolescentes quanto para a equipe de profissionais que com eles trabalham

The invisible who will not disappear : a discourse analysis of South African writings on street childrenLevy-Seedat, Alicia Vincenti Nerine 06 1900 (has links)
Street children are present in every metropolitan city around the world. Their
presence has provoked varied responses from academics, the media and others. However, despite the
proliferation of responses, current solutions are not always commensurate with the resources
expended in this area. Are current responses
a part of the problem or a part of the solution? Following the precedence established by other
researchers and calls for greater reflexivity, this study attempts to provide a critical analysis
of selected South African writings on and about street children. Particular focus is accorded to
how selected academic and popular writings construct street children. The specific aim is to
facilitate an examination of the underlying discourses that inform South African writings on street
children. The role that academic and popular writings fulfil in selectively maintaining the status
quo over which their authors sometimes voice disapproval is also examined. Wherever possible the
origins of such discourses and the powers that maintain them are referred to. The extent to which
the discourses evident in writings on South African street children converge with the dominant
discourses present in developmental psychology as a whole are reviewed.
The complimentary techniques of transformative inquiry and discourse analysis are at the heart of
the methodology in this study. As an analytical tool discourse analysis is used to deepen current
understanding of perceptions of street children. Discourse analysis helps to chart the underlying
discourses drawn on in texts and shows how writings have influenced, intentionally or otherwise,
the perceptions of subjects of research. Transformative enquiry as a significant ·
complimentary, albeit implicit, feature of discourse analysis enables a reflection on the research
process itself.
Four main discourses are discussed, each of which is centred around several sub-discourses. The
first discourse, "He who pays the piper calls the tune" involves an objectification of street
children, conveying negative' images of street children. The second discourse, "St. Jude the Patron
Saint of Lost Causes" is rooted in the ideas of hopelessness, helplessness, victimology and
ubiquitousness. The third discourse, "natured versus nurtured" is located in ideas of biological
determinism within which street children are described as bestial, abnormally sexual, inherently
racially inferior and unresponsive to initiatives designed to provide shelter for them. The fourth
discourse, "Us and them cum us against them" arises from ideas that view street children as
inherently different to mainstream children and adults, thereby pitting street children against
society at large and representing them as enemies. These four interrelated discourses ultimately
converge to produce both enabling and constraining effects that are sometimes contradictory in
nature. Discourses intended to render street children visible sometimes ironically make them and
their plight invisible. The study is concluded with discussions of methodological limitations,
suggestions for future
investigation and the pyscho-emotive shifts I experienced during the research process. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)
