Le mentor et l’homme, l’exemple du Doyen de Killerine de l’abbé Prévost et du Nouveau doyen de Killerine de L-S. Mercier
No full textSi l’œuvre de Prévost est marquée par le thème de l’éducation, seul Le Doyen de Killerine (1735-1740) structure l’intégralité du récit autour des aventures d’un guide moral dont l’inexpérience remettra constamment en question sa mission. Du reste, cette spécificité semble d’autant plus remarquable qu’elle inspirera quelques années plus tard L-S. Mercier dans son drame intitulé Le Nouveau Doyen de Killerine. La présente étude se propose d’étudier comment ces œuvres mettent en exergue le discours de mentors équivoques, aux prises avec leurs faiblesses d’homme, à travers l’étude de deux topoï, à savoir celui du changement d’identité et de la reconnaissance. If Prévost\u27s work is influenced by the theme of education, Le Doyen de Killerine (1735-1740) is the only work, which focuses on the adventures of a moral guide whose inexperience constantly casts doubt on his mission. Moreover, this specificity seems all the more remarkable as it will inspire L-S. Mercier in his drama entitled Le Nouveau Doyen de Killerine. The present study proposes to study how these works highlight the discourse of equivocal mentors, struggling with their weaknesses of man, through the study of two topoi, namely those of the change of identity and recognition

UNDERSTANDING AND RESPONDING TO PAIN AND PAIN-BASED BEHAVIOUR WITH YOUTH IN AND FROM CARE: PERSPECTIVES FROM THE INSIDE-OUT AND OUTSIDE-IN
No full textThis article presents the findings from a dialogical research project involving a young adult student with lived experiences in care (inside-out perspective) and a seasoned child and youth care professional (outside-in perspective), exploring the pain of complex trauma and formulating healing responses to pain-based behaviour. The co-authors identify elements and dynamics related to the healing journey and present their findings largely in conversational format congruent with the process of discovery. Notions of family privilege, shattered assumptions, double distortion, pain and pain-based behaviour, the language of pain, evolution of self, moments of choice, following the yellow brick road, eight stages of healing, and self-compassion are discussed with an emphasis on understanding and responding supportively to the lived experiences of young people in and from care
RESEARCHING PAIN — RE-SEARCHING THE RESEARCHER: PULLING BACK THE CURTAIN ON THE INNER LIFE AND ANXIETY OF THE INVESTIGATOR
No full textSeldom do researchers comment on or discuss in their publications the impact of their research on themselves, nor do they explore the impact of their emotions on their research data gathering or findings. The authors provide excerpts from two of their own research studies to illustrate some of the personal dimensions which they, along with George Devereux, claim are central and significant in the process of social science research. We suggest that is it is important to introduce new researchers to the psychoemotional dimensions of the researcher’s own experiences in the research process in order to both sensitize them to potential research findings (often hidden), and prepare them for the possible (even likely) impacts on themselves as researchers, professionals, and human beings
SEXUAL HARASSMENT OF SYRIAN FEMALE YOUTH IN JORDANIAN REFUGEE CAMPS
No full textThis study aimed at documenting the sexual harassment of Syrian female refugees in refugee camps in Jordan. A purposive sample of 187 Syrian female refugees in the Za’atari camp was selected. The results showed that the environment of the camp played an important role in motivating males to harass females owing to the weakness of the security measures and the lack of sanctions upon deviant behaviors. Our findings show that females were subjected to numerous forms of sexual harassment, including hearing sexual jokes and sexual expressions, and being subjected to suggestive looks, sexual letters, and unwanted touching. Additionally, our results revealed that participants responded to sexual harassment by keeping silent because they feared making their situation worse by provoking conflict within their families. This left the victims without protection or the chance to obtain justice
