‘Man up!’ bullying and resilience within a neoliberal framework

Abstract: This study investigates perceptions in relation to bullying, with a particular focus on discussions around resilience, drawing on data from focus group interviews with young people (mean age 14 years old), parents and teachers (N = 40). We view self-conduct and the governance of human behaviour as situated within a neoliberal framework, locating accountability and responsibility within the individual. Our methodological framework consists of a multi-level 'synthesised' discourse analysis. Firstly, drawing on d… Show more

“…This also fits with Smiles' (1859; 1871) references in his books Self-Help and Character to self-control and character, both terms that are used in current research around resilience in children (e.g. Luthar, Cicchetti, and Becker, 2000;Sims-Schouten and Edwards, 2016). For example, correspondence from 1894 from the Waifs and Strays Society in relation to the possible emigration of a boy, aged 14 years old, to Canada stated, 'His conduct is very good' and 'He has sound intellect'.…”

“…Discussions of resilience, self-help, and character are typically framed with reference to risk, vulnerability, and protective factors (Smiles, 1871; Ungar, 2005; Werner and Smith, 1982). Yet in narratives and perceptions around ‘troubled children’, as can be seen from the analysis above, it was their behaviour that was being judged, and their capacity to develop resilience or resistance within this was not recognised (Moss et al , 2017; Moss, Wildman, and Lamont, 2020; Sims-Schouten and Riley, 2018; Sims-Schouten, Skinner, and Rivett, 2019).…”

“…Only five state policies "contain explicit language related to providing student support to both victims and bullies" (Stuart-Cassel et al, 2011, p. 39). In contrast, the Children's Act, which was enacted in the United Kingdom in 1989 (legislation.gov.uk, n.d.), considers bullying as a child protection concern and allows schools access to a range of services to address the problem (Sims-Schouten & Edwards, 2016).…”
