No full textMalene Molding: Back to the Street:
Young People Living in the Streets of
Nairobi
The article deals with people who live and
work on the streets of Nairobi, Kenya. It is
based on fieldwork conducted in 1995-1996
by the author, who at that time was working
at a rehabilitation centre for Street giris. The
article aims to identify pull-factors, i.e.
factors which, to young people, make Street
life appear as an attractive alternative to
other apparently desirable lifestyles. Thus, it
differs in focus from other studies aiming to
identify and explain so-called push factors,
i.e. factors such as political, economic or
social conditions that initially cause young
people to choose to leave home and take to
the streets. Inspired by sociologist Pierre
Bourdieu, the author regards Street life as a
lifestyle that unfolds in a social field
characterised by specific codes of conduct
and competitive social positions of symbolic
Capital. By introducing the concept of “Street
life expertise” and discussing its linkage to
motivation and identification, the author
argues that Street life appears attractive to
people who have established social com-
children’s bodily experiences, are shown to
be in conflict with the children’s
perspectives

Deviations from normal in the sitting and standing postures at work among dental surgeons
No full textAutor je u svom radu nastajao utvrditi odstupanja sjedećeg i stojećeg radnog položaja liječnika stomatologa od njima referentnih položaja prema Muftiću. Obavljena je geometrijska analiza pojedinih radnih položaja na temelju fotografija iz kojih su načinjene skice. Rezultati dobiveni istraživanjem pokazuju da su kvantitativne vrijednosti odstupanja relativno malene (4%-5%), što su ergonomijski suboptimalne vrijednosti.The author aims at establishing differences between the sitting and standing working postures of dental surgeons and U1e referent positions given by Muftić (2). The geometry of the postures is analysed by means of the photographs of different body positions. The differences in quantitative values appear to be small (4-5 %) and, from the ergonomic point of view, suboptimal
How Party-System Dynamics Shape Political Parties’ Use of Facebook Between Elections
No full textWe investigate the use of Facebook in the Danish system over a two-month period in 2021, with an increased political polarization, during the COVID-19 lockdown. Based on the analysis of 5093 posts, we find indications of how party-system dynamics shape niche parties and catch-all parties’ use of Facebook. While catch-all party members share political information with relatively low reach, niche parties are much more inclined to criticize opponents, a strategy that often produces higher interactivity. Finally, we discuss the impact of party-system dynamics on the strategic use of Facebook among different parties. Our findings indicate that the social media use of niche parties with irrelevant features is often shaped by a centrifugal logic (competition towards the poles), while the social media use of catch-all parties is often shaped by a centripetal dynamic (competition towards the center)
Digital methods for mediated discourse analysis
No full textIn this paper we discuss methodological strategies for collecting multimodal data using digital resources. The aim is to show how digital resources can provide ethnographic insights into mediated actions (Scollon, 2002) that can otherwise be difficult to observe or engage in, due to, for instance, restrictions or privately mediated settings. Having used mediated discourse analysis (Scollon 2002, Scollon & Scollon, 2004) as a framework in two different research projects, we show how the framework, in correlation with digital resources for data gathering, provides new understandings of 1) the daily practice of health care professionals (Kjær, 2014) and 2) young people’s identity construction on social media platforms (Larsen, 2010, 2015). The paper’s contribution is a methodological discussion on digital data collection using methods such as online interviewing (via e-mail or chat) and online questionnaire data in order to capture mediated actions and discourses in practice.In this paper we discuss methodological strategies for collecting multimodal data using digital resources.

Time:the particular and the universal
No full textDifferent senses and different mobilities are organised in, and through, and sometimes against, various times and memories. In Sociology beyond Societies, John Urry primarily takes an outset in the differences between instantaneous time and clock time. Clock time is the ordering necessary for the industrialization of societies where a synchronization and measurement of time is essential for the production system. Clock time is essential in all shared physical mobilities systems. Understanding everyday life within the time regimes John lays out provided the author with a way to understanding the stories about, and the rationalities individuals ascribe to, the car. Time is related and measured in all transport modes. Time is an essential parameter in socio-economic traffic models, where transport time is still perceived as wasted time. It seems that the power of individualization as the pathway to freedom has outruled the power of people, communities and institutions as drivers of change.Different senses and different mobilities are organised in, and through, and sometimes against, various times and memories.
