Social exclusion
No full textSocial exclusion has become a major focus of attention in both academic research and policy development in recent years, in both national and EU contexts.1 In the course of the work of the Network that forms the basis for much of the material examined in this book, we systematically analysed different forms of available data (academic studies, official and semi-official statistical data, legal and governmental policy documentation, printed media). At each of those stages of analysis, social exclusion was the most difficult thematic concept to pre-define with considerable differences between the way each country in the study configured that concept. Moreover, these differences varied to some extent depending upon which forms of national and international data or evidence we were examining. For instance, what one country might define as social exclusion in terms of its academic outputs might differ to some extent from the definition in the same country in terms of what was found in legal and governmental documentation. Both forms of variability are interesting on several counts, and we explore some of these issues, among others, in this chapter

No full textEuropean perspectives on men and masculinities
No full textMen have long dominated public, and indeed also private, agendas. Much of what is called politics, research and public discourse more generally has been centrally about men, often overwhelmingly so — an unnamed, obvious but strangely invisible, process — an absent presence.1 Men, masculinity and men’s powers and practices have typically been taken-for-granted. Gender has largely been seen as a matter of and for women; men were generally seen as ungendered, natural or naturalised
Bogens perspektiv
No full textSocialt arbejde er præget af problemer, hvis løsning ikke er umiddelbart givet, og det gør ofte arbejdet vanskeligt, flertydigt, præget af dilemmaer og paradokser. Ved at analysere nogle af disse kerneproblematikker og samtidig betragte dem som mulighedsbetingelser forsøger denne bog at bidrage til en forståelse af, hvordan hjælp bliver mulig. Et vigtigt tema er forestillingen om enpowerment og magt som noget konstruktivt. Forfatterne anlægger dermed en lidt anden, og mere optimistisk, synsvinkel på det sociale arbejdes muligheder, end det ofte har været tilfældet i de senere års toneangivende socialfaglige litteratur
