ABSTRACT

Background

In the debate on the social inclusion of people with intellectual disabilities, we find various proposals for dealing with sameness and difference. A more inclusive understanding of difference is needed to ensure that the perspectives of people with intellectual disabilities are taken into account.

Method

This study involved in-depth interviews with 25 individuals with intellectual disabilities, 24 people without disabilities, and 15 professionals; and observations in neighbourhood projects.

Results

Facilitating convivial encounters is a promising way of engaging with difference and an interesting alternative to “othering,” “similarising,” or “romanticising difference.”

Conclusions

Convivial encounters do not promote sameness or difference; instead, they allow groups to jointly develop transient shared identifications. In community projects, sameness and difference can be reinvented so that people can engage with difference in an enriching way. Therefore, convivial encounters, especially when organised, can be seen as a new framing of the ideal of social inclusion.

在相同与陌生中挣扎：（非）在两个荷兰社区的智障人士与非智障人士之间遭遇

摘要

背景

在关于智障人士的社会包容性的辩论中，我们发现了处理相同与差异的各种建议。需要对差异有更全面的理解，以确保考虑到智障人士的观点。

方法

这项研究包括对25名智障人士，24名残障人士和15名专业人员的深入访谈。和邻里项目的观察。

结果

促进欢乐的相遇是一种与众不同的有前途的方式，并且是“差异化”，“相似化”或“浪漫化差异”的有趣替代。

结论

欢乐的相遇不会促进相同或不同。取而代之的是，它们允许组共同开发暂态共享标识。在社区项目中，可以重塑相同性和差异性，以便人们可以丰富地参与差异化。因此，欢乐的相遇，尤其是有组织的相遇，可以看作是社会包容理想的新框架。
