本文叙述并反思了在加纳库马西和恩德瓦与年轻人进行的关于爱和性的对话。它考察了这些对话的背景--在以亲属关系为基础的家庭、中学和五旬节派教堂--并探讨了年轻人在代际尊重的基础上对此类问题保持沉默的态度。这篇论文分析了年轻人的沉默和挑衅性言论的策略,发现矛盾的是,学校和教堂为年轻人的颠覆性直言不讳提供了制度化的空间,这与作为等级关系表达的体面的伦理准则形成了鲜明对比。
This paper recounts and reflects on conversations about love and sexuality conducted with young people in Kumasi and Endwa, Ghana. It examines the settings of these conversations - in a kinship-based household, secondary schools and Pentecostal churches - and explores young people's reticence to talk about such matters in the light of intergenerational respect. Analysing young people's strategies of silence and provocative speech, the paper shows that, paradoxically, schools and churches provide institutionalised spaces for young people's subversive outspokenness that contrasts with the ethical codex of decency as the expression of hierarchical relations.
