Social Work, Performativity & Personalization

Social Work, Performativity & Personalization

Jason L Powell

Nova Science Publishers Inc
2013
sidottu
This book, which draws from fieldwork research and evidence, is provided to suggest a sense of emotional anxiety among social workers and case managers working on the front-line' within local authority social service departments in England. This is taking place within British Prime Minister David Cameron's government agenda of "personalization of care". This new emphasis places the onus on the client rather than the gaze of the social worker. Yet, there are contradictions that lie at the heart of social work, social care and personal care. Theories have attempted to detangle these contradictions. There have been a number of theoretical approaches that have attempted to ground the concept of power' to understand organisational practice though significant Foucauldian insights that have been most captivating in illuminating power relations and subject positioning. This book is the first of its kind to explore the impact on 'performativity' of social workers and governance (governmentality) of workers and clients in the personalisation policy process.

Theorizing Community Care

Theorizing Community Care

Jason L Powell

Nova Science Publishers Inc
2014
nidottu
As we enter 2014, an accelerating interest in abuse has arisen due to the implementation of community care policies relying upon informal care and a relentless political campaign to legitimise an enforced obligation to care. The use of care management technologies that focus on assessment and inspection, can, in this policy climate, become a means of surveillance and enforcement of informal caring. It is argued that Michel Foucault offers a set of strategies (Foucault 1977: 205) for understanding how the discourses on community care construct older people's experiences and their identities, as constructed subjects and objects of managerial knowledge. This book examines this and the dystopian implications for older people. The book attempts to move beyond such fatalism by introducing governmentality and the possibilities through social policy for older people. Finally, the book examines the emergence of personal care and the implications for personalization and tailored care services for older people.

Management of Aging & the Dark Side of Modernity

Management of Aging & the Dark Side of Modernity

Jason L Powell

Nova Science Publishers Inc
2014
nidottu
Health, care and welfare have emerged as key vehicles used to legitimise and position the identities that older people adopt in contemporary modernity. Both contain continually changing technologies that function to mediate relations between older people and the state. Medico-technical, victimisation policies and care management discourses, have been presented as adding choice and reducing limitations associated with adult ageing. However, they also represent an increase in professional control that can be exerted on lifestyles in older age and thus, the wider social meanings associated with that part of the life-course. This book presents a theoretical analysis based on a critical reading of the work of Michel Foucault. It identifies the inter-relationship between managers and older people in terms of power, surveillance and normalisation. The book highlights how and why older people are the subjects of legitimising professional gazes through the dark side of modernity: being managed, being victimised and asking the existential questions of death.

Pops Goes the Weasel

Pops Goes the Weasel

Jason Jerone Powell

Outskirts Press
2024
pokkari
A 'Coming of Age' story between a Father and Son. This One-Act Play takes place in 1989: A young man named Greg, 18 years old, has just returned home to San Francisco from his first Semester in College in Southern California. His father, "Pops", 45 years old, is picking him up from the Airport to take him to his Mother's house, where Greg will be staying for the first time during his Winter Break Vacation, instead of with his Father. Pops and his ex-wife, Roxanne have been divorced for 10 years, and Greg has been raised by "Pops" as a single parent since their tumultuous marriage and bitter divorce. Struggling economically as a Cab Driver, Pops has bitter resentment towards his ex-wife, Roxanne, Greg's Mother, who's doing well very in her life. Greg's new interest to reconnect and rebuild a relationship with his mother after all these years does not sit well with Pops as he's driving his son, "Baby G" to his mother's house. Jason Jerone Powell tells this heart-wrenching story through the guise of a One-Act Drama in which he bravely explores his own past experience as a teen adult, struggling to earn his father's respect, while trying to reconnect with his mother. Powell cleverly tackles sensitive issues in this play, such as divorce, abuse, systemic disparity, and a Father and son's relationship. He currently resides in Hollywood, California, where he teaches English and Theatre Arts at the world famous Hollywood High School. He holds a BA Degree in Theatre Arts from CSU, Fullerton and a Master's Degree (MFA) in Dramatic Arts from the New School in New York under the Actors Studio. He's a life-long member of the Actors Studio. His two teens, Lehar and August, and their mother, Rahel, have been a source of inspiration for this piece of work.

Social Welfare, Aging, and Social Theory

Social Welfare, Aging, and Social Theory

John Martyn Chamberlain; Jason L Powell

Lexington Books
2012
sidottu
Social Welfare, Aging and Social Theory explores how we can understand the changing relationship between social welfare and human aging. The book begins by reviewing how historical changes in society impacted on shaping emergence of scientific approaches to understand and problematize and bio-medicalize aging as akin to an illness and disease. The discussion moves to trace how particular social science theories were developed to reinforce negative perceptions of aging. The book also develops its own reflexive approach with in-depth examples of social welfare in national, international and global contexts in how aging is theorized in the postmodern world were alternative possibilities can be encountered.

Aging in Perspective & the Case of China

Aging in Perspective & the Case of China

Sheying Chen; Jason L Powell

Nova Science Publishers Inc
2011
sidottu
This book has two main parts, one that examines what the world has learned so far in dealing with ageing and another which discusses how such a country as China has kept up with that learning. By combining general reviews with case studies in a comparative context, the book illustrates the "state of the art" via a multidisciplinary approach to understanding Western and non-Western experiences. The book is a must-have for students and researchers interested in social, behavioural, and humanistic inquiry as well as public policy analysis related to ageing with some of the leading experts that helped to define or redefine the fields.

Social Theory and Aging

Social Theory and Aging

Jason L. Powell

Rowman Littlefield Publishers
2005
nidottu
This book explores both conceptual and theoretical issues that impinge on understanding aging in (post) modern society. It analyses how knowledge formation of aging, with particular reference to 'old age' in contemporary western society, is socially constituted and positioned by powerful 'taken for granted assumptions'. These assumptions have provided a power/knowledge base for bio-medical disciplines, legitimacy of political-economic discourses and practices of professional experts. The book is in two parts: the first part introduces 'modernist' scientific models and theories of gerontology and questions their importance in mapping out the assumptions of aging and how they impinge on identity performance in society through disciplinary matrix of biology, psychology and social conceptualizations of gerontology; the second part focus upon 'postmodern' constructions aging through the articulation and development of novel epistemologies: postmodernism and aging body; discourse and power/knowledge; and 'aging' in the 'risk society'. The book addresses a key question: can 'meta-theories' provide an effective analysis of aging which is radically different from modernist 'grand narratives' as epitomized by not only bio-medical models of aging but also of mainstream social theories of gerontology.

The Welfare State in Post-Industrial Society

The Welfare State in Post-Industrial Society

Jason L. Powell; Jon Hendricks

Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
2009
sidottu
In recent years, major social forces such as: ageing populations, social trends, migration patterns, and the globalization of economies, have reshaped social welfare policies and practices across the globe. Multinational corporations, NGOs, and other international organizations have begun to influence social policy at a national and local level. Among the many ramifications of these changes is that globalizing influences may hinder the ability of individual nation-states to effect policies that are beneficial to them on a local level. With contributions from thirteen countries worldwide, this collected work represents the first major comparative analysis on the effect of globalization on the international welfare state. The Welfare State in Post-Industrial Society is divided into two major sections: the first draws from a number of leading social welfare researchers from diverse countries who point to the nation-state as case studies; highlighting how it goes about establishing and revising social welfare provisions. The second portion of the volume then moves to a more global perspective in its analysis and questioning of the impact of globalization on citizenship, ageing and marketization. The Welfare State in Post-Industrial Society seeks to encourage debate about the implications of the most pressing social welfare issues in nation-states, and integrate analyses of policy and practice in particular countries struggling to provide social welfare support for their needy populations.

Aging, Aging Populations and Welfare

Jason L. Powell

Springer International Publishing AG
2024
sidottu
As the world experiences a rapid increase in the aging population, it is essential to address the challenges and opportunities that arise as a result. This book explores the significant impact of aging on individual well-being, societal welfare systems, and the global economy. By examining the multifaceted aspects of aging, demography and welfare, the book aims to provide a comprehensive and critical narrative to navigating these challenges and achieving better outcomes for both older individuals and society as a whole. The book has a critical approach running through it; despite this, there is a need to do something with the critical questions and focus on sustainable solutions to problems and issues an aging population poses to researchers, policy makers and older people themselves. In essence, the primary purpose of this book is to shed light on the complexities surrounding aging, demography and its intersection with welfare systems. By delving into various perspectives, such as social, economic, and healthcare considerations, this book highlights the holistic understanding needed to address the challenges associated with an aging population effectively.
