In this paper, we examine relational interactions between refugee children and social institutions, building the case for the recognition of the co-occurrence and intertwining of vulnerability and agency in children's experiences in diverse refugee situations. This developmental relational approach offers refinement of a general relational worldview by specifying how vulnerable and agentic experiences are co-constructed by children and adult individuals and institutions. We analyze the conceptual roots of vulnerable and agentic experiences, and use the concept of co-construction to specify the processes and outcomes of interactive relational experiences. Evidence from example studies of the intertwining of vulnerability and agency in specific refugee situations demonstrates how refugee children contribute to power-oriented experiences. Due recognition of the relational co-construction of intertwining vulnerable and agentic experiences provides a basis for refining generalized relational observations, and a fine-grained basis for developing policies and procedures to dispel ambivalence to refugee children and to change inequitable policies and practices.
在本文中,我们研究了难民儿童与社会机构之间的关系互动,提出了一个观点,即承认在不同的难民情况下,儿童的脆弱性和能动性是同时存在且相互交织的。这种发展关系方法通过具体说明脆弱性和能动性经验是如何由儿童和成人个体以及机构共同构建的,对一般关系世界观进行了细化。我们分析了脆弱性和能动性经验的概念根源,并使用共同构建的概念来具体说明互动关系经验的过程和结果。来自特定难民情况下脆弱性和能动性交织的实例研究的证据表明,难民儿童如何促成以权力为导向的经验。对脆弱性和能动性交织的关系共同构建的充分认识为细化广义关系观察提供了基础,也为制定政策和程序提供了更精细的基础,以消除对难民儿童的矛盾心理,并改变不平等的政策和做法。
