▼ China is in the process of implementing a learning society through the establishment of learning cities, learning organizations, and learning communities. Even though the structure of the learning community system is in place, practitioners have found it hard to recruit learners when learners’ needs were neglected. The traditional knowledge transmission model where the learners passively accept knowledge from the “authorized” instructor was criticized for not taking into account learners’ experiences and the social and cultural context of the knowledge (Buffington, 2003). Due to sparse research addressing knowledge construction within a geographical learning community, the purpose of this study was to understand how knowledge is constructed in the Shanghai Zhabei Learning Community in China. This embedded case study employed the constant comparative method to analyze data collected from interviews, observations and document analysis. The community for the case was one of the 18 districts in Shanghai. Data analysis revealed five patterns of knowledge construction and the factors shaping knowledge construction. Specifically, the five patterns of knowledge construction are: radiation, circulation, simulation, socialization, and contextualization. Factors that shape knowledge construction include: the socio-cultural factors of the political bureaucracy, economic reform, and traditional Chinese values of hierarchy and moderation; factors specific to the learning community also shaped knowledge construction. Those factors are government support, learning embedded in community development, creation of a harmonious learning environment, comprehensive learning networks, and lineal and non-lineal learning structures. Four conclusions have been reached. First, knowledge construction is a socially embedded collective learning process. Second, tools such as cultural products and discourses promote knowledge construction. Third, multi-layer networks and learning structures shape knowledge construction in the learning community. Fourth, the hierarchical social system, conservative social values, and economic reforms shape knowledge construction. Implications for practitioners and policy makers are discussed and suggestions are offered for future research. Advisors/Committee Members: Sharan B. Merriam.

▼ This thesis is an exploratory study of the Kitchener John School Diversion Program. As a primarily community-based initiative, this program has been developed in response to a particular social problem, street prostitution. The primary focus of the program is to address the problem by targeting the clients of prostitutes. Using a contextual constructionist framework, eight qualitative, semi-structured interviews and three participant observation sessions were conducted to explore and understand how the John School works within the context of its objectives and mandate. Four research questions have been developed to achieve this and focus on (1) how program objectives are implemented within the operation of the diversion program, (2) how stakeholders problematize prostitution and its social actors, (3) what the social conditions and characteristics related to the social construction of prostitution are, as perceived by the social actors, and finally, (4) how the diversion program addresses the problem of prostitution. Through analysis of the data collected, key findings emerge that help to contextualize the diversion program within a broader understanding of its mandates and operations. Specifically, four objectives are identified as the primary goals of the school, being knowledge dissemination, accountability, diversion and change. There are notable discrepancies, however, in terms of how program staff interpret these objectives within the context of their program lectures and materials. Additionally, while strong themes and typifications emerge with respect to how prostitution and its social actors are problematized by the program staff, these themes and typifications have a tendency to conflict with one another when presented to the participants. For example, where prostitution is understood to be a social problem with a number of victims and perpetrators, the participants are frequently typified simultaneously as both victim and villain. In light of these discrepancies, however, it appears that the intended objectives and the actual operation of the diversion program both work towards the same, ultimate goal: change.

▼ Under the banner of social constructionism, this study examined meaning making around tragedy. This was achieved through investigating the category of tragedy; in particular, how the category is applied and under what conditions it is deployed. Secondly, the study investigated the discursive resources with which we make sense of tragedy. The specific aims of this research were to examine how the category of tragedy is utilised in language; how meaning making around tragedies occurs in the discursive context; and to investigate how these resources are flexibly combined in both diverse and shared patterns understanding of tragedy. The scope of this research entailed (1) an examination of public text about tragedies in order to develop an understanding of the circumstances in which the category is deployed and what is being achieved by this deployment; (2) an identification of the resources available in public text via which we make sense of tragedy, and (3) an application of a representative sample of ways of talking about tragedy in order to investigate the ways in which these are flexibly and meaningfully combined. Two methodologies were employed to address these aims: a discursive psychological analysis and Q method. Social constructionism has provided an overarching framework for much of the unpacking of discursive interaction that occurs in a variety of settings. Social constructionism has highlighted the constructive and performative nature of language use, and under its umbrella, many hitherto taken-for-granted phenomena have been investigated. Within psychology, this has meant a reconceptualisation of the individual and many of the processes presumed by psychology to be intrinsically individual processes, such as memory, attitudes, attribution, motivation, and social categorisation. Following in the relatively new and arguably non-mainstream tradition of the application of social constructionist theorising and methodologies, this study explores tragedy from this fresh perspective, using a mixed method approach to do so. Material for the discursive analysis was gathered from two national newspapers (The Australian and The Sydney Morning Herald) spanning approximately a two-year period. Articles where the word tragedy was used or could reasonably be expected to be used were collected. This material was examined in order gain a sense of ‘characteristics’ of tragedy; what functions its use performed in the public text; and to investigate whether the meaning making themes identified in previous research were apparent in this data. Of interest were the variable ways the category of tragedy was utilised, the characteristics that appeared to make deployment of the category more likely, and the themes deployed in making sense of tragedy. Analysis demonstrated that the category of tragedy is applied flexibly across a range of situations, events, and outcomes and that its application performs different functions in different situations. For example, the descriptor ‘tragedy’ can signal the profound nature of an event and…

▼ This research applied a two-step triangulation approach to the study of mother-daughter communication in arranged marriages among the religious Sunnis of Beirut, Lebanon. Combining the theory of structuration and relational dialectics in one theoretical framework, the study investigated the role of mother-daughter interactions in the socialization of the daughter into the marital experience. The study investigated the process of marital socialization by first surveying 199 mother-daughter dyads, representing 398 individuals. In the second step, in-depth interviews were conducted with 12 families (three interviews per dyad), randomly selected out of the 199 surveyed pairs. The dyadic data analysis of the surveys assessed mother-daughter generational difference and the interdependence of their views on marriage, taking into consideration the daughter‟s marital status (single, engaged, and married). Findings revealed that mother-daughter interdependence moved in a curvilinear fashion. The mother and her engaged daughter converged in their marital views, then slightly diverged as the daughter‟s relationship with her husband progressed. The analysis of the 36 interviews examined stancemaking in the reported speeches of past mother-daughter conversations, and dialogues that took place during the third mother-daughter interviews. The stance analysis revealed the flow of socialization (one-way for the mother, and conversational for the daughter), and the three main lines of socialization: Structuration rules related to male-female interactions, criteria for selecting the ideal husband, and guidelines on how to become a good wife and mother. The analysis of stance alignments also exposed four mother-daughter relational dialectics happening during the arranged marriage process: Real versus ideal, powerful versus powerless, individual versus collective, and connection versus separation. Those dialectics corresponded to the fundamental tensions and the power resources that influenced both the daughter‟s marital structuration and her relationship with her mother during the marital process. The main findings were discussed at the end in line with mother-daughter connection, and the cultural schema of gender among the religious Sunnis of Beirut, Lebanon. The socialization involved in arranged marriages constitutes a turning-point in mother-daughter relationship, and a potential source of institutionalizing the perception of women as fragile beings in constant need of protection.

▼ Menstruation is a quintessential phenomenon unique to females which prepares the body for reproductive functioning. Although this phenomenon is a natural biological process of development, social institutions such as science, socio-cultural factors, religion and the media impact young women’s perceptions of menstruation. Media, in particular advertising has been instrumental in conveying specific versions of reality that mirrors Western capitalist and patriarchal ideologies of women and their bodily processes. Media representations of menstruation portrays it as a ‘hygiene crisis’, rational and in need of symptomatic treatment. Media portrayal of women’s bodies highlights the importance of identifying ways in which advertising contributes to young women’s perceptions of menstruation. The aims of this study are twofold; firstly this study aims to understand how young women’s perceptions of menstruation are constructed. Secondly, this study also aims to explore young women’s perceptions of menstrual product advertising in print media. Literature shows that the media often portrays menstruation as a ‘hygiene crisis’ instead of a maturation process. Improved hygiene seems to be the rationale and modern answer of ‘treating’ symptoms. Literature also identifies advertising as a pervasive form of media, which is often unconsciously acknowledged, and it is thought to convey specific versions of reality in order to mirror Western capitalist and patriarchal ideology. Taking these factors into consideration shows the importance of identifying ways in which advertising contributes to young women’s perceptions of menstruation. Positioned within a social constructionist framework, specifically on macro social constructionism the emphasis is on unpacking power relations and how this exercises social control over women. The use of social constructionism strengthens the study with focusing on the importance of how perceptions are constructed through interactions with our environments. This study utilized a qualitative approach using focus groups as the data collection method. The sample comprised of 16 participants recruited from the female population aged 18-23 years from a University in the Western Cape. Foucauldian discourse analysis was employed to analyse the data collected. All ethical requirements as stipulated by the University were strictly adhered to. This study will therefore contribute to the dearth of literature in the South African context as literature in this area is very limited and inaccessible. This study in particular contributes to the South African body of knowledge by furthering the understanding of how societal messaging influences and perpetuates power relations and the social control of women.

Dentro da proposta de estruturação da política nacional de saúde as contribuições da integralidade na produção de serviços e ações de saúde de qualidade, resolutivos e satisfatórios ainda têm gerado grandes desafios. Assim, acreditando que a orientação de novas maneiras de entender e de produzir saúde, norteadas pela integralidade emergem de sentidos produzidos sobre esse termo, em contextos relacionais e dialógicos específicos, esse estudo teve por objetivo descrever os sentidos de integralidade produzidos com os trabalhadores de equipes de Saúde da Família (SF), relativos ao cotidiano de suas práticas de atenção à saúde, em uma cidade mineira. Utilizamos o discurso Construcionismo Social como uma ferramenta metodológica para produzirmos e analisarmos as informações. Essa produção ocorreu por meio de registros de diário de campo e três encontros grupais, áudio graváveis. Seguidamente as informações foram transcritas, editadas e analisadas, produzindo duas tematizações, com dois subtemas cada: 1) Quando os participantes recorrem ao discurso vinculado às práticas dos trabalhadores: Pressupõe em o trabalhador se integrar com a vida, às necessidades do paciente lá fora, que não são somente biológicas, para atendê-lo como um todo... integralmente - integralidade: apreensão ampliada dos trabalhadores em relação às pessoas atendidas, enquanto sujeitos integrados e influenciados por diferentes dimensões, contextualizadas ao longo de suas vidas; Trabalhadores e usuários não devem ter uma visão só curativa, só pontual para a doença que o paciente sofre e achar que é o remédio que faz o milagre - integralidade: capacidade dos trabalhadores de escutar e apreender de forma ampliada as necessidades apresentadas pelos usuários e das melhores maneiras possíveis de respondê-las. 2) Quando os participantes recorrem ao discurso associado à organização dos serviços saúde. Esse desdobrou-se em: Colocar o usuário do lado de dentro do serviço, considerando-o enquanto sujeito de necessidades, para organizar serviços de forma a ver suas necessidades e inseri-las dentro das prioridades de atenção dos trabalhadores - integralidade: capacidade dos trabalhadores, gestores e usuários, conjuntamente apreenderem as necessidades da população, elaborarem e implementarem respostas; Envolver todos os serviços de saúde e outros pontos de serviços na comunidade para dar segmento, continuidade no tratamento - integralidade: caracterizada pela articulação entre os vários serviços em uma rede para garantir o acesso às necessidades demandadas pelo usuário. Essas conversações produzidos foram suficientes ora para gerar autoanálise e reflexões das práticas vigentes, visando desconstruir aspectos de um projeto tradicional, vinculado ao homem fragmentado, ora para gerar primeiras aproximações do sentido da integralidade, enquanto uma postura de articulação de diversos tipos de tecnologias para responder às necessidades de várias naturezas dos usuários.

▼

Over the past decade, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of cases of criminal charges laid against those who do not disclose their HIV-positive status to their sexual partners. The criminalization of HIV non-disclosure has generated an intense debate which is the object of this analysis. Using a social constructionist framework, particularly the work of Donileen Loseke, a leading social problems theorist, and documentary data drawn primarily from the internet, my goal is to shed light on the debate. More specifically, I am concerned with definitional contests or competing constructions inherent in the debate. The dissertation is organized around three papers. The first paper explores how the condition of HIV itself is socially constructed in the debate. Claims-makers who support criminal sanctions construct the disease as deadly and devastating, while claims-makers who oppose criminalization construct HIV as chronic and manageable. The second paper explores the rhetorical strategies used by those who support criminalization to construct non-disclosers as villains. I coined the term techniques of vilification to capture these strategies. The third paper examines the rhetorical strategies used by those who oppose criminalization to neutralize the label of victim for partners of non-disclosers. As a whole, the dissertation contributes to a better understanding of social problems claims-making processes, particularly around the construction of conditions and people. The dissertation also makes contributions to ongoing discussions in the sociology of health and illness, and victimology.

Thesis

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

This thesis investigates the debate around the criminalization of HIV non-disclosure with an emphasis on the Canadian context. Adopting a social constructionist approach, particularly as it has been used in the sociological study of social problems, and building on the work of social problems theorist Donileen Loseke, the thesis explores three themes: 1) how claims-makers understand HIV as a condition based on whether they support or oppose criminalization, 2) how claims-makers who support criminalization vilify those who do not disclose their HIV-positive status, and 3) how claims-makers who oppose criminalization work to downplay claims to victimhood by partners of non-disclosers. This work contributes to our understanding of the definitional contests underlying the debate. More broadly, it contributes to our understanding of social problems claims-making processes.

▼ Heroin usage is on the increase in the Western Cape province of South Africa owing to globalization and to increased access to the drug in this province. The goal of this study is to explore the experiences of coloured heroin users in the Metro South area of Cape Town, which stretches from Simons Town and Muizenberg to Retreat, Lavender Hill, Grassy Park, Parkwood and Wynberg. These individuals have been found to congregate in the Wynberg CBD. The overarching theoretical framework for the purpose of this research is social constructionism and symbolic interactionism, using a qualitative means of inquiry. Snowball sampling was used to recruit prospective participants and data was collected by means of in-depth interviews, with a semi structures interviewing schedule. The questions informed the subsequent themes and categories that arise from the data collection process. Snowball sampling was employed in this case, a non-probability sample, in which participants were recruited via key informants. The sample distribution included 13 participants, 10 of which were heroin users (5 female, 5 male) and the remaining 3 were key informants which contributed to triangulation of the data. In terms of the findings, participants spoke of mostly being involved in intimate relationships, which according to participants had dual benefits. For female participants intimate relationships offered a form of protection on the often dangerous streets of Wynberg and for certain males, intimate relationships offered an opportunity to fund their habit, by trading their female partners to perform sexual favors for money to acquire heroin. While the study found females were mainly involved in trading sexual favors for money, heterosexual males were also implicated in having sexual relations with homosexual men for money. Furthermore, the study found that heroin users in Wynberg represented a surrogate family, where, because of their lifestyle, they were disconnected from their own family. This family surrogate was found to be supportive, caring to a large extent, shared a living space, protective of each other and shared a common language and understanding.

▼ The literature suggests that children who struggle with communication during social interactions, called pragmatic language in the field of speech language pathology, have fewer opportunities to engage in social practices that promote learning because of inadequate skills in interacting with others. Children with even subtle difficulties in pragmatic language tend to have fewer friends, and more difficulties with aspects of behavior, mental health and learning. The American Speech-Language and Hearing Association recommends that pragmatic language assessment be part of complete communication assessment; however, research indicates this area is not assessed in a majority of children. Furthermore, speech-language pathologists (SLPs) do not always share the same definition of pragmatic language nor consistent ways to assess it. There are at least three distinctly different theoretical frameworks available to inform speech-language pathologists (SLPs) about the nature of pragmatic language, each suggesting different units of analysis and assessment tools. This, in turn, can result in an educational problem as, depending on the theoretical framework of the SLP evaluating them, children with the same pragmatic language problems may or may not be appropriately identified and, thus, served. Assuming a socio-constructivist framework and an action research paradigm, this study was designed with the ultimate goal of improving the pragmatic language assessment practices of the SLPs working in my clinic, as well as to contribute local knowledge about SLPs’ understanding and practices with respect to pragmatic language. At the core of the study is an intervention that engaged a group of SLPs from my clinic in a study group around pragmatic language. This led to two concrete products for the clinic: 1) a co-constructed operational definition of pragmatic language that melded five theoretical frameworks from the fields of cognitive psychology, education, sociology and linguistics and 2) a statement of best practices for assessment of pragmatic language. This statement included a critique of assessment methodologies and additional factors to consider in assessment. Participants in the study group were active collaborators and engaged in a plan-act-observe-reflect research spiral. Analysis of individual’s responses through the course of the study revealed a transformation in how participants defined and assessed pragmatic language because of the action research process. As a practitioner, this study deepened my personal knowledge of the practices of local speech language pathologists in understanding and assessing pragmatic language. It reinforced the importance of a community of learners in continuing professional education programs and highlighted the value of reflective practices. Contributions to the agency included (a) development of a collective understanding of pragmatic language by the participating SLPs, (b) creation of an operational definition to guide clinical judgment in assessing and describing children with pragmatic…

According to Ulrich Beck's theory of reflexive modernisation people today suffer from insecurity and constant risks in all aspects of their life. A major factor dictating their individual biographies is their work. Work in today's world has become an essential ingredient in defining personal identities and relationships. For Beck as a consequence of the modern work environment new insecurities and inequalities in comparison to the industrial epoch have emerged; a development of risk biographies. This thesis examines how international professionals in the Greater Helsinki Region construct and negotiate the meaning of their work and the organisation of their work. Specifically, through the critical discourse analytic method of Norman Fairclough the focus of the research is on the impact of power and ideology of new capitalism on individual discourses. This is studied by exploring whether a shift emerges in the participants' discourses of their work during interviews pertaining to the new financial crises of the late 2000s as well as the impact of the effects of the information age. The data is supported by the method of reflexive social processes of participant observation. The analysis of the interviews shows that the individuals, in contrast to the theory of reflexive modernity, did not present themselves as insecure nor facing constant risk in their individual discourse of work; even during discussions of the new financial crisis. Instead, it was discovered that the participants constructed themselves as in control of their biographies, both disciplined and self-managed, in contrast to the volatility of the market forces. The observed feelings of self-management are in accordance with Fairclough's original thesis and demonstrate that the participants have internalised new capitalism's ideology of neo-liberalism, further propelling the cause of the capitalist market forces in their work places. By internalising this ideology the participants were found to be experiencing alienation, predicted by Karl Marx, struggling with the loss of meaning towards their work, as described by Max Weber and at risk of anomie discussed by Emile Durkheim.

▼ In this dissertation, I attempt to accomplish two main objectives. First, I attempt to clarify what social construction amounts to in contemporary analytic philosophy. Research on the social construction of social categories has done some work to delineate and clarify varieties of social constructionist projects, as well as varieties of social phenomena. However, little research has been done to examine the meanings and tractability of the notions that social constructionists employ. As a second objective, I therefore take on the task of making clearer the meanings and implications of non-inevitability and amelioration. Both objectives involve attending to the programs of various social constructionists and attempting to merge their programs into a single coherent account. In so doing, I put forth my own construal of what social construction amounts to, as well as what it means to say that something is a social construction in both the institutional and non-institutional contexts. I provide tractable and plausible, if coarse-grained, accounts of what social constructionists might have in mind when they cite the notion of non-inevitability in their projects. I also explore the plausibility of social constructionisms ameliorative or emancipatory potential, asking whether or how modifying our social categories and concepts can have ethical and political implications and asking what those implications might be. I defend social constructionist programs, especially those of the ameliorative variety, from the possibly vitiating forces of the status quo, as well as from relativism concerning what or who counts or should count as some social kind X and the issue of what determines or what should determine Xs extension. Related to these issues, I explore the nature of the difficulties involved in changing aspects of the social world. Difficulties related to the possibility of change and amelioration include the complexity of multiple coexisting ideologies, the problem of how to isolate ideologies and their source(s), and the non-volitional character of beliefs.

▼ Intentional communities are formed by a group of people who have voluntarily chosen to live together for a range of reasons in the creation of a shared lifestyle. They concern practical forms of living that may reflect diverse structures and distinct philosophies. The intentional community literature is both broad and unique in its representation of intentional community living. Intentional communities may also be considered sites that form the basis for resisting mainstream forms of living and representations of subjectivity. Through an active process of self-constitution, participants engaged in communal forms of living may construct different identities and styles of life. Although the term ‘intentional community’ is fairly recent, notions of utopian living have a long history. Forms of utopian living can be found in early biblical times, while Foucault’s domain of ‘ethics’ is also derived from what the intentional community literature considers to be early utopian communities. Despite an extensive literature, very little research explicitly focuses on communal living as a form of ethics as praxis. This may be due to the characterisation of ethics as a form of rules, duties and consequences, rather than ethics as a relationship that a person cultivates with their ‘self’. Foucault’s domain of ethics provides a valuable context to explore whether intentional community living can be theorised as a Foucauldian form of ethics. Although there is contemporary interest in Foucault’s domain of ethics, relatively few texts have sought to use Foucault’s ethical conceptualisation as a qualitative methodology in the context of empirical research. Even fewer studies have drawn on Foucault’s theoretical framework in the context of empirical research on intentional communities. This is despite a number of themes that the literature shares concerning notions of resistance, identity as a form of selfconstitution and the potentially transformative effect of communal living. This research therefore seeks to make a significant contribution to a relatively underresearched and under-theorised area of the literature. Drawing on Foucault’s ethics as a theoretical framework, this thesis explores twenty-eight narratives of participants who live on five rural communities in northern NSW, Australia. Fieldwork was conducted over a nine-month period between 2004 and 2005, with periods of time spent on each community. One community was revisited for the purpose of collecting further empirical data. Foucault’s ethical analysis and Foucauldian constructionism are used in the analysis and interpretation of the interviews that resulted from this fieldwork. Where individual interviews were not undertaken, a document analysis of former empirical research serves to affirm participant observations. Ethical issues concerning confidentiality and representation were addressed through the attendance at communal or ‘tribal’ meetings where required. The findings suggest that intentional community living may be theorised as a Foucauldian form of ethics, with…

▼ This PhD takes a social constructionist approach (see Burr, 2003) to explore how professional women in Sri Lanka make sense of and enact their careers. By explaining career through the recursive relationship between social context and individual agency, this study adds new insights into existing understandings of women s careers which are dominated by psychological models of women s development over their lifespans (see Maneiro and Sullivan, 2005; O Neil and Bilimoria, 2005; Pringle and Dixon, 2003). Most importantly this study which addresses women s experiences in Sri Lanka fulfils a significant gap in the extant literature which has paid only little attention to careers in South Asian nations. This study is based on qualitative interviews (see King, 2004) conducted with 24 professional Sri Lankan women: eight in early career, eight in mid-career and eight in late career (see O Neil and Bilimoria, 2005). All respondents aspired to reach the highest possible level in their organisations hierarchies and therefore continuously engaged with work organisations, home and family and wider contextual structures in Sri Lanka in pursuit of achieving their career goals, contributing towards maintaining and/or transforming these social structures in the process. Based on these findings I developed a theoretical framework to understand women s careers in a dynamic and contextually significant manner. This framework highlights eight different strategies women use to develop their careers which has four possible social outcomes. In illuminating specifically what women do to advance their careers within their social contexts and with what implications this framework makes a significant contribution to the careers literature which gives only little attention to individuals career strategies. Moreover by appreciating both social context and individual agency as explanations of women s careers this model refrains from taking an overly deterministic (see McRae, 2003; Crompton, 2011) or voluntaristic (see Maneiro and Sullivan, 2005; O Neil and Bilimoria, 2005) stance to conceptualising women s career development. Second, I outline a South Asian model of women s career development highlighting family, moral notions, religious philosophies and wider belief systems such as astrology and horoscopes as central constituents of women s careers. I highlight how these understandings could be used to identify blind spots in existing literature and further develop prevailing ideas of women s careers in the West. Specifically I argue that traditional notions do not altogether disappear as societies develop (see Gerth and Mills, 1991), but rather individuals use these notions to walk towards modernity. Finally I conclude the thesis by outlining how scholars could develop my work further, calling upon authors to bring moral character, traditional notions and enchantment back to the careers field. Key words: Gender, Career development, Social constructionism, Sri Lanka.

These associations are essentially a group of people who gather together to achieve certain aims and objectives in serving God within the Church.anyano) of the UPCSA. These associations are essentially a group of people who gather together to achieve certain aims and objectives in serving God within the Church. The iimanyano are normally identified by means of a specific uniform, even though the UPCSA (as with the reformed Church tradition) does not generally wear a uniform. The uniform of the iimanyano therefore does not have any specific origin. However, Chapter One of this study traces the purpose of the iimanyano in that it was formed to evangelise and reach out to black people within a cultural ethos. The research embarks on narrative, qualitative interviews and follows a participatory approach in discovering the problems that led to the iimanyano deviating from their original focus. In Chapter Two, the amalgamation of The Presbyterian Church of Southern Africa with the Reformed Presbyterian Church of South Africa in 1999 is discussed. (The emerging of these two Churches formed the Uniting Presbyterian Church in Southern Africa.) The process of joining the iimanyano of the two former (PCSA and RPCSA) Churches resulted in dissatisfaction and caused several grievances. These tensions of the iiimanyano are a threat to the union of the UPCSA. The study investigates through narrative research why the problems still persist. In Chapter Three, the narratives of the co-researchers in the context of the Presbytery of Tshwane are presented. These helped to identify certain experiences that the remaining iimanyano in the UPCSA denomination still encounter. It is further indicated that some underlining issues may have been rushed or underestimated by the Special Commission on Union. An interesting observation is that the tension is mostly referred to by the black members of the former two churches. Furthermore, some members are suspicious of any outside influence perpetuating the problem. In Chapter Four the struggles within the body of Christ whereby the uniform issue among the women is discussed. In Chapter Five, a narrative reflection on the research findings and recommendations to the associations of the UPCSA are given. Advisors/Committee Members: Prof J C Muller (advisor).
