本文旨在强调纳米比亚残疾人经历的声音,重点关注宗教和文化观点和现实,这些观点和现实往往对这种经历产生负面影响,包括耻辱和强制治疗的经历。我们介绍了由残疾人、残疾人组织、神职人员和神学院学生举办的三次研讨会的结果(不同的研讨会也有来自联合国机构和纳米比亚共和国政府的学者和代表参加)。讲习班的研究结果——包括边缘化的社会经济、政治和公共卫生层面——随后被置于纳米比亚(以及更广泛的南部非洲)当前残疾研究的背景中。在认识到宗教和文化态度往往导致残疾边缘化的同时,我们还建议,可以有效地利用宗教和文化资源来解决耻辱和歧视问题。在这里,我们关注上下文圣经研究方法,它起源于南非,以及它在促进残疾人平等、多样性和包容方面的潜力,并影响积极的社会变革。最后,由于这篇文章来自一个国际和跨学科的学者网络(在纳米比亚、南非和英国),因此对全球北方和全球南方在宗教、文化和残疾方面的理论、认识论和方法之间的合作提出了一些反思。
This article seeks to highlight voices of experience of disability in Namibia, focusing on the religious and cultural perspectives and realities that often negatively influence such experiences, including experiences of stigma and compulsory cure. We present the results of three workshops that were held with persons with disabilities, organizations of persons with disabilities, clergy, and seminarians (variously, also attended by academics and representatives from UN agencies and the Government of the Republic of Namibia). The findings of the workshops—including the socio-economic, political, and public health dimensions of marginalization—are then situated within the current research landscape on disability in Namibia (and wider Southern Africa). Whilst recognizing that religious and cultural attitudes so often contribute to disability marginalization, we also propose that religious and cultural resources can usefully be harnessed to tackle stigma and discrimination. Here, we focus on the Contextual Bible Study methodology, which originates in South Africa, and its potential to promote equality, diversity, and inclusion for persons with disabilities and effect positive social change. Finally, and as this article has emerged from an international and interdisciplinary network of scholars (in Namibia, South Africa, and the UK), some reflections are offered about the collaboration between the theories, epistemologies, and methods of the Global North and Global South regarding religion, culture, and disability.
