"Cultural competence" is often part of contemporary discourses of practice in child and youth care and is often referred to in curricula and documents that lay out the expected competencies of practitioners. This article represents an effort to critically examine the notion of "cultural competence", paying particular attention to how "culture" and "competence" are taken up in the literature, and how they are positioned in relation to each other in the context of practice. Efforts are made to critique the idea that "culturally competent" practice can be attained through the linear and proceduralized acquisition of pre-specified competencies. Rather, an argument is made for the development of a practice that is critically reflexive, relational, and constantly in motion while working inbetween, across, and within difference.

Résumé Le but de cet article est d'étudier l'essor des associations de détaillants en Italie entre les années 1880 et la Première Guerre mondiale. Cet essor fut essentiellement dû aux changements de l'économie politique urbaine après l'extension du droit de vote de l'époque. En raison de la transformation relativement lente du secteur de la distribution, les contestations des détaillants avaient pour cible ceux qui semblaient être injustement avantagés par les privilèges fiscaux (les cooperatives et vendeurs temporaires et ambulants) plutôt que l'application de nouveaux principes de vente au détail (grands magasins et chaînes de magasins à succursales multiples). C'est la raison pour laquelle la coopération avec ceux qui s'occupaient de grandes enterprises fut facilitée. Il ne s'agit pas de faiblesse de la part des détaillants. Ces derniers surent exploiter le poids numérique qui fit d'eux un groupement important dans l'Etat libéral.

In 1926 the Fascist regime instituted a restrictive shop-licensing system which accounts for the continued prominence of small shopkeepers in Italy today. Retailers' interests were represented on the licensing panels by the Fascist Confederation for Commercial Traders in an apparently genuine grant of corporate authority. The confederation swiftly reconstituted itself after the fall of the regime and retained its power within the post-war licensing structure. This article will analyse the background to the introduction of the system as a way into debates about the relationship between the Fascist state and the petite bourgeoisie.
