在美国、加拿大、澳大利亚和英国,“社区”一词是社会服务和人性化服务的一个组成部分。然而,有许多意义和目标是社区项目的一部分;这些意义反映了社区在公共性和隐私性方面的模糊立场。在本文中,我通过对在支持人类和社会服务的非营利社区组织工作的妇女进行采访,探索其中的一些意义和目标。重点是妇女构建社区概念的方式,以及这些方式可能成为为关怀、赋权和正义创造政治和物质空间的战略的一部分。
The term ‘community’ is an integral part of the discourse regarding social-service and human-service delivery in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Yet, there are a host of meanings and goals that are part of the project of community; these meanings reflect the ambiguous position of community with respect to ideas of publicity and privacy. In this paper I explore some of those meanings and goals through the use of interviews with women who work in nonprofit, community-based organizations that support human and social services. The focus is on the ways in which the women frame the concept of community and the ways in which these may be part of a strategy to create political and material spaces for caring, empowerment, and justice.
