Abstract

ABSTRACT This article revisits various ideas from the literature on children’s spirituality which have elicited less attention in recent years, notably those of researchers who emphasise the contexts of children’s lives and those whose research uses children’s narratives. Key aspects meriting further investigation and research are suggested, especially the idea of the spirituality(ies) of societies, rather than only of individuals, and the importance of children’s agency and narratives. It is argued that spirituality should be seen as a process rather than a thing, or a set of practices; and that considerations of power, notably factors such as gender, race, class and age, are too rarely addressed. Some cautionary words about the current discourse in children’s spirituality and suggestions for how research should be conducted are presented, calling for a less individualised view with more emphasis on context and culture and on how the manifestations of children’s spirituality vary at different ages.
重新审视一些被遗忘的关于儿童精神的观点
本文回顾了近年来引起较少关注的关于儿童灵性的文献中的各种观点,特别是那些强调儿童生活背景的研究人员和那些使用儿童叙事的研究人员。提出了值得进一步调查和研究的关键方面,特别是社会而不仅仅是个人的精神观念,以及儿童的能动性和叙述的重要性。有人认为,灵性应该被视为一个过程,而不是一件事,或一套实践;而对权力的考虑,尤其是性别、种族、阶级和年龄等因素,很少被提及。对目前关于儿童灵性的论述提出了一些警告,并对如何进行研究提出了建议,呼吁减少个性化的观点,更多地强调背景和文化,以及不同年龄段儿童灵性的表现如何不同。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
