Young students\u27 perception of the health perspective in the Norwegian school subject Food and Health
No full textIn Norway, Food and Health (FH) is taught throughout compulsory school. Data acquisition for this study consists of 15 interviews with teachers and 26 focus group interviews (FGI) with 4th grade students (9-10 years), from eleven different schools in five regions in Norway. The data provides insight into experiences with FH, perceptions of the health aspect of FH, and learning activities to achieve the subject’s competence aims. Students divided FH into "practical sessions”, consisting of preparing, cooking, and eating food, and "health sessions", consisting of theory related to different health aspects of food and lifestyle habits. Most students reported that they had few FH sessions at school. Instead, they referred to activities at home, in after-school care, and what parents and grandparents had told them about the subject. High-quality education in school, focusing on dietary advice, food groups, and supporting physical health is important to promote healthier dietary habits in young students
Through their eyes: Disengaged experiences of hockey boys
No full textHockey culture has been demonstrated to be a site of racism, homophobia, misogyny and other forms of domination which keep men’s ice hockey stuck with hypermasculine narratives as young hockey boys chase a place within this culture. This study, conducted with an Elite U18 male ice hockey team in Western Canada, used photovoice as a means to enquire into young male athlete experiences in schools and the tension between being celebrated as a hockey boy and the domination of hypermasculinity in their everyday lives. Photovoice was used to open up conversations with images participants took during their days at a specialized sport academy regarding their feelings of disengagement in school. The findings show the weight of the hypermasculine narratives on hockey boys including toughness, homophobia, and classism as well as the implications on their mental health and risk of violent acts from being in an isolated and exclusive white patriarchal community. Young male athletes, desiring to continue to play elite hockey, unknowingly find themselves within a masculine moral paradox by becoming both constrained by and consenting to the hypermasculine narratives, further ensconcing hypermasculinity within hockey culture. The article brings together Connell’s hegemonic masculinity, Eisner’s three curricula, and Bourdieu’s theory of cultural reproduction as a means to generate awareness of the ways in which the entrenchment of masculine (hegemony) domination is deeply engrained in the fields of education, hockey culture, and the home

De l’amour violent à sa violente déstructuration dans Amants, heureux amants… (1923) de Valery Larbaud
No full textLe recueil de nouvelles de Valery Larbaud Amants, heureux amants… relate les monologues intérieurs de ses protagonistes, Marc Fournier, Felice Francia et Lucas Letheil, d’habiles manipulateurs se glorifiant de leurs amours multiples et surtout malsaines. Avides de pouvoir et de destruction, ces trois dandys déplacent leur colère sur les femmes qu’ils côtoient et prennent un malin plaisir à les voir souffrir. C’est au déploiement de cette violence ainsi qu’à ses modalités stylistiques que cet article s’intéresse. Après avoir étudié la typologie des violences dans les rapports de force homme-femme, nous glisserons de la violence thématique à une violence tonale plus astucieuse : l’ironie. Aussi s’agira-t-il d’approfondir le parallélisme entre les véhémences fictionnelles des personnages et l’éclatement du texte de l’auteur, qui met ainsi en abyme la violence humaine.Le recueil de nouvelles de Valery Larbaud Amants, heureux amants… relate les monologues intérieurs de ses protagonistes, Marc Fournier, Felice Francia et Lucas Letheil, d’habiles manipulateurs se glorifiant de leurs amours multiples et surtout malsaines.
