Making Social Cohesion or Marking the Human Security Threat? Tracing Disciplines of Place in Community-Based Services for the “Developmentally Disabled”
Main Article Content
Keywords
social cohesion, community services, developmental disability
Abstract
This paper is about how human services work people into place and how places are reworked by people. As an (auto)ethnographic research on community based services for “developmental disability”—seen as technologies for making social cohesion and development—it discusses rewards and risks when tooling knowledge to make people free.
