“…The findings therefore represent important voices of Elders who premise cultural well-being as crucial element of Aboriginal community health. The findings align with emerging research that acknowledges Aboriginal concepts of well-being, 1 the links between culture and health 6,11 and scholarship that recognises the contributions of Elders to Aboriginal community health. 8,13 Elders are often recognised as cultural advisors and community consultants in programs initiated and funded by external research stakeholders within Western models of health.…”

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (hereafter respectfully referred to as Aboriginal people) represent the oldest continuous culture in the world, with complex social, cultural, spiritual and ecological knowledge systems developed over millennia. [1][2][3][4] Aboriginal people conceptualise health and well-being in holistic and relational terms that are distinct from Western biomedical models of health. 5 Holistic health is coupled to Aboriginal culture, identity, spirituality, kinship and healing practices. [6][7][8][9][10] Aboriginal Elders are recognised as cultural custodians who play an important role in maintaining family and community cohesion. 8 The importance of culture for Aboriginal well-being is emerging in recent Aboriginal scholarship. A comprehensive literature review identified nine interconnected wellbeing themes important to Aboriginal people including: autonomy; empowerment and recognition; family and community; culture, spirituality and identity; Country;

“…They also evidence the important work of Aboriginal organizations in Victoria, which are known to connect Aboriginal people to community and place [57]. These descriptions of culture are also consistent with those generated by Victorian Aboriginal researcher Dr Cammi Murrup-Stewart (2020), whose yarning work with young people spoke to the relational nature of culture for Aboriginal young people [58].…”

Social-epidemiology that excludes Aboriginal voices often fails to capture the full and complex social worlds of Aboriginal people. Using data from an existing co-designed Victorian government Adolescent Health and Wellbeing Survey (2008/9), we worked with Aboriginal organizations to identify data priorities, select measures, interpret data, and contextualize findings. Using this participatory co-analysis approach, we selected “cultural” and “structural” determinants identified by Aboriginal organizations as important and modelled these using principal component analysis. Resulting components were then modelled using logistic regression to investigate associations with “likely being well” (Kessler-10 score < 20) for 88 Aboriginal adolescents aged 11–17 years. Principal component analysis grouped 11 structural variables into four components and 11 cultural variables into three components. Of these, “grew up in Aboriginal family/community and connected” associated with significantly higher odds of “likely being well” (OR = 2.26 (1.01–5.06), p = 0.046). Conversely, “institutionally imposed family displacement” had significantly lower odds (OR = 0.49 (0.24–0.97), p = 0.040) and “negative police contact and poverty” non-significantly lower odds (OR = 0.53 (0.26–1.06), p = 0.073) for “likely being well”. Using a co-analysis participatory approach, the voices of Aboriginal researchers and Aboriginal organizations were able to construct a social world that aligned with their ways of knowing, doing, and being. Findings highlighted institutionally imposed family displacement, policing, and poverty as social sites for health intervention and emphasized the importance of strong Aboriginal families for adolescents.

“…While cultural rights may be seen as a neglected category of rights, their importance to social inclusion and to individual wellbeing and group identity have been extensively documented [among others, 63 ]. Thus, it is incumbent on public authorities to facilitate access to culture for all, including for those groups, such as minorities and persons with disabilities that face structural barriers in order to ensure that individuals’ and groups’ cultural rights, as enshrined in international human rights law, are respected and protected.…”

Enhancing Access to Digital Culture for Vulnerable Groups: The Role of Public Authorities in Breaking Down Barriers

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This article discusses which barriers hamper access to, and participation in, cultural life for members of vulnerable groups, in particular persons belonging to old and new minorities and persons with disabilities in the context of digitization. It then examines what role public authorities can play in addressing and dismantling these barriers. The article adopts a bottom-up approach, in that it is based on a qualitative study, which gives voice to vulnerable groups. The qualitative research involved interviews with different organisations representing, or working with, vulnerable groups in 12 European Union Member States (Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Malta and Spain). In that regard, the article approaches vulnerability from a distinct conceptual standpoint, identifying vulnerability as a condition caused by structural barriers. On the whole, the article shows that, while digitization of cultural content, goods and services, offers increased opportunities for culture to be democratised and for its consumption by wider and more varied audiences to be enhanced, it also engenders structural barriers and creates additional challenges. Furthermore, while digitisation has ensured more diverse representation in cultural content, vulnerable groups still face stereotypical and negative portrayals within mainstream cultural content. The thematic analysis of the qualitative interviews also captures different dimensions of access to digital cultural and supports the identification of effective policy measures to bridge the ‘digital divide’ and assist in the fulfilment of cultural rights of vulnerable groups.
