Presečišča ranljivosti : intersekcionalni pristop k razumevanju vsakdanjega življenja ranljivih družin

Fatur, Maša (author), Razpotnik, Špela (mentor)

Magistrsko delo obravnava razumevanje vsakdanjega življenja ranljivih družin skozi intersekcionalno prizmo in osvetljuje, kako so kategorizacija in institucionalni diskurzi povezani z izkušnjami, izzivi, potrebami in oblikami podpore ranljivih družin. V teoretičnem delu predstavljam vsakdanje življenje ranljivih družin, opišem značilnosti sodelovanja z njimi ter kritično reflektiram strokovne prakse in diskurze, ki jih konstruirajo. Kot ključni koncept za razumevanje kompleksnih neenakosti izpostavim intersekcionalnost in iz njega izhajajoč konceptualni model intersekcionalnosti, ki omogoča analizo prepleta kompleksnih izzivov ranljivih družin na sistemski ravni. Namen empiričnega dela je raziskati, kako so na ravni vsakdanjega življenja kategorije, v katere umeščamo ranljive družine, med seboj presečne, ter kako strukturni dejavniki in iz njih izhajajoči institucionalni ter strokovni diskurzi vplivajo na dostopnost in ustreznost obstoječih oblik podpore. V zaključku razmišljam, kako intersekcionalni pristop prispeva k razumevanju kompleksnosti vsakodnevnega življenja ranljivih družin in oblikovanju bolj celostne prožne podpore. Raziskava temelji na singularni študiji primera, ki vključuje zapise opazovanja z udeležbo in refleksije leto in pol dolgega sodelovanja z družino. Podatki so analizirani s kvalitativno metodo vsebine analize, ki sledi intersekcionalni perspektivi. Rezultati so pokazali, da uporaba konceptualnega modela intersekcionalnosti pomembno prispeva k preseganju enodimenzionalnega razumevanja in obravnave ranljivosti. Ta se v družini poglablja prav zaradi njene umeščenosti v sivo cono med vključenostjo in izključenostjo iz procesov podpore. Raziskava intersekcionalni pristop osvetli kot enega ključnih konceptov, ki prepoznava prepletenost različnih osi neenakosti in razkriva, kako ti preseki oblikujejo družbene izkušnje in življenjske možnosti ranljivih družin.

• Title: Intersections of vulnerability : an intersectional approach to understanding vulnerable families' everyday lives

Abstract

The master’s thesis examines the understanding of the everyday life of vulnerable families from an intersectional perspective and highlights how the categorisation and institutional discourses relate to the experiences, challenges, needs and forms of support for vulnerable families. The theoretical part of the thesis presents the everyday life of vulnerable families, describes the characteristics of working with them, and offers a critical reflection on professional practices and the discourses that construct them. Intersectionality is illustrated as a key concept for understanding complex inequalities, along with a conceptual model of intersectionality that enables the analysis of the interplay of complex challenges faced by vulnerable families at the systemic level. The purpose of the empirical part is to examine how, in everyday life, the categories into which vulnerable families are placed intersect with one another and how structural factors and the institutional and professional discourses that arise from them affect the accessibility and adequacy of existing forms of support. The conlusion reflects on how the intersectional approach contributes to understanding the complexity of the everyday lives of vulnerable families and to developing more holistic and flexible forms of support. The research is based on a single case study that includes participant observation notes and the reflection on a year and a half of working with one family. The data is analysed using an qualitative content analysis method focusing on intersectional perspective. The research findings indicate that the use of the conceptual model of intersectionality contributes significantly to overcoming a one-dimensional understanding and treatment of vulnerability, which is exacerbated in the family precisely because of its position in the grey area between inclusion and exclusion from support processes. The study outlines the intersectional approach as one of the key concepts that acknowledges the intertwining of various axes of inequality and reveals how these intersections shape the social experiences and life opportunities of vulnerable families.
