CONSIDERING THE POWER OF CONTEXT: RACISM, SEXISM, AND BELOGING IN THE VICARIOUS TRAUMATIZATION OF COUNSELORSHahn, Katharine J. 01 January 2010 (has links)
Recent concerns have arisen about the effects on counselors of working with trauma survivors. Vicarious traumatization may be a normal developmental process of adapting to client trauma material and may ultimately result in vicarious posttraumatic growth, or positive changes arising from vicarious trauma. Most studies have focused on individual variables or clinician coping strategies that predict vicarious traumatization. Taking a feminist approach to vicarious traumatization, this study examined the role of workplace context variables, such as sense of belonging in the workplace and support for vicarious trauma at work, on counselor vicarious traumatization and vicarious posttraumatic growth. Stratified random sampling was used to recruit counselors from domestic violence and rape crisis centers, and recruitment messages were sent to all psychology internship and postdoctoral sites in the United States which were accredited by the American Psychological Association. Surveys were completed by 234 counselors.
Counselors reported sub-clinical levels of vicarious trauma symptoms (intrusions, avoidance, and hyperarousal resulting from work with trauma survivors). Results of hierarchical regression analyses indicated that amount and intensity of exposure to client trauma material positively predicted vicarious trauma symptoms, and sense of belonging in the workplace negatively predicted vicarious trauma symptoms. Intensity of exposure, work setting, and support for vicarious trauma at work predicted vicarious posttraumatic growth, so that counselors exposed to more graphic details of client trauma, those working in domestic violence or rape crisis centers, and counselors with more support for vicarious trauma at work reported more vicarious posttraumatic growth. The relation between amount of exposure and vicarious posttraumatic growth was moderated by intensity of exposure and by sense of belonging in the workplace. Counselors with low sense of belonging at work reported less vicarious posttraumatic growth when amount of exposure was high, whereas counselors with high sense of belonging reported more vicarious posttraumatic growth with high exposure. Results suggest that counselors’ reactions to client trauma material are normal rather than pathological, are largely due to exposure to client trauma, and can be affected by workplace context factors, especially sense of belonging in the workplace and support for vicarious trauma at work.

Situating strangers : understanding Hindu community life in LusakaHaig, Joan January 2011 (has links)
This thesis explores the complex identities of the Hindu community of Lusaka, Zambia. It argues that current theories in migration and diaspora studies are not sufficient for understanding such groups in post-colonial Africa. The thesis proposes that we should revisit ‘forgotten’ literature, on immigrants as ‘stranger’ communities, that originates from Georg Simmel’s 1908 essay, ‘The Stranger’. Such work, which this thesis terms ‘stranger theory’, usefully contributes to more contemporary approaches by enabling a comprehensive assessment of a community’s position and how that position changes over time. Stranger theory is used in this thesis to situate Lusaka’s Hindus (and Zambian Hindus more generally) as ‘organic’ members of the nation, whose relationships with wider society are characterised by both ‘nearness’ and ‘remoteness’. The thesis first describes the emergence of a Zambian Hindu ethnic identity during colonial and immediate postcolonial (post-1964) periods focussing on migration and settlement patterns, immigrant networks and the emergence of cultural associations. A theme running throughout the thesis is that the ‘plural society’ of the colonial era (a society consisting of separate, racially-categorised groups with limited interaction) has persisted in Zambia in a postcolonial form, and that this is a useful way of understanding the position of the Hindu community in Zambia today. Following the historical discussion is an analysis of how the contemporary city of Lusaka is experienced by its Hindu residents, through mapping out spaces, social structures and practices that remain unique to Lusaka’s Hindus. Lusaka’s Hindu community is presented as both cohesive and fragmented; the thesis goes on to analyse the ways in which community identity itself is frequently broken down and reconfigured by its members. Zambia’s Hindus comprise diverse sets and subgroups of immigrants with uneven and ‘flexible’ approaches to, and experiences of, migration, citizenship and belonging, rather than embodying a single, quantifiable ‘diaspora’ entity. Yet, in local terms, Hindus in Lusaka are often treated as part of a general ‘Indian’ group; indeed, the thesis shows how Hindus’ relationships with other groups in Zambia emphasise the ‘stranger’ dimension of the community’s position in society. Finally, the thesis asserts that Zambian Hindu ‘twice migrants’—those who migrate onwards to new destinations—reinforce the existence and identities of the ‘home’ community in Zambia. Indeed, these twice migrants must be considered as African and Zambian transnational migrants as well as part of a South Asian ‘diaspora’. Methodologically, the thesis is driven by situational analysis, and brings two separate versions of this approach (from Sociology and Anthropology) together, drawing on data collected in Zambia between 2006 and 2008.

Representing African Migrants' experience in Europe: A study of narratives on the Surprising Europe websiteOchola, Anne Brenda January 2016 (has links)
Migration is a continuous process in an increasingly globalized world and African migrants have for a long time migrated to Europe mostly for economic reasons. Due to biased reporting of life in Europe by both western and African media as well as half-truths by Africans living in Europe who seldom tell the whole story of their lives abroad; a lot of African migrants arrive in Europe with a very idealistic image. African migrants thereby risk a lot in pursuit of a better life in Europe. When they finally arrive, a lot of their idealistic expectations are not met, forcing them to be filled with regret and the wish that they had known the full truth before migrating. This study examines an online platform (Surprising Europe’s website), that connects African migrants by inviting them to share stories about their migration experiences in an effort to better inform those intending to migrate. The use of interviews of the producers to better understand the project as well as their intentions, and a narrative analysis of all the 30 articles on the website are analysed. The results indicate that the danger of telling one sided stories contribute to the existing narrative of a western idealistic image of “gold lying on the streets”; as well as an illustration of the authors exhibiting a transformation from people who were formerly Surprising Europe’s audience, now constructing narratives in a collaborative way with the producers. The website therefore demonstrates how an online platform for mediated communication can be used to offer fragmented identities as well as a sense of belonging, offering a voice to the previously voiceless despite their migration status.

Expressões do exílio nos contos de José Rodrigues Miguéis: uma análise cronotópica do despertencimento / Expressions of exile in the tales of José Rodrigues Miguéis: a chronotopic analysis of the non-belongingLevai, Laerte Fernando 20 April 2017 (has links)
A obra contística de José Rodrigues Miguéis, construída toda ela sob o signo do exílio, traz a marca da ambivalência nas cinco coletâneas publicadas uma a cada década de sua vida literária: Onde a Noite se Acaba (1946), Léah e Outras Histórias (1958), Gente da Terceira Classe (1962), Comércio com o Inimigo (1973) e Pass(ç)os Confusos (1982, póstuma). O tempo convulso e o espaço de desfazimentos que permeiam a diegese projetam, à luz da teoria de Bakhtin desenvolvida em Questões de Literatura e de Estética (A Teoria do Romance), configurações cronotópicas capazes de suscitar a imagem do estrangeiro em busca de um lugar de realização. É pela porta dos cronotopos que se vê o ciclo desventurado do sujeito migueisiano, cuja sina marcada pela viagem-desencontro-agonia irmana-se à dinâmica do exílio social-psicológico-metafísico. Em uma época de tantas guerras e tiranias, onde a realidade do não-lugar contrapõe-se ao sonho da reintegração, ao emigrante desterrado de si mesmo e do mundo resta a memória forte ou a arte para recuperar aquilo que perdeu. Nesse cenário de incertezas o estigma do despertencimento ultrapassa a contingência pessoal dos narradores ou personagens centrais para se tornar um elemento simbólico da condição humana. / The tales of José Rodrigues Miguéis, constructed under the sign of exile, bear the mark of ambivalence in the five collections published once every decade of his literary life: Onde a Noite se Acaba (1946), Léah e Outras Histórias (1958 ), Gente da Terceira Classe (1962), Comércio com o Inimigo (1973) and Pass(ç)os Confusos (1982, posthumous). The convulsive time and space of breakdowns that permeate diegese project, in the light of Bakhtin\'s theory developed in Questões de Literatura e de Estética (A Teoria do Romance), chronotopic configurations capable of eliciting the image of the foreigner in search of a place of achievement. It is through the door of the chronotopes that one sees the unfortunate cycle of the Miguéisian subject, whose fate marked by the trip-disconcert-agony joins the dynamics of social-psychological-metaphysical exile. In a time of so many wars and tyrannies, where the reality of non-place is opposed to the dream of reintegration, fort the emigrant exiled from himself and from the world remains strong memory or art to recover what he lost. In this scenario of uncertainties, the stigma of non-belonging goes beyond the personal contingency of narrators or central characters to become a symbolic element of the human condition.
