Culture as regional attraction - migration decisions of highly educated in a Swedish context.
No full textRecent research shows that labour market related factors are becoming less important as reasons behind migration in Sweden. Factors that relate to the regional milieu are on the other hand becoming more important. This, together with the fact that culturally active groups in the population (e.g. people with higher education and retirees) are growing, has given rise to the notion that culture is of increasing regional importance. Culture is in some political contexts assumed to attract residents, tourists and firms and thus increase the quality of life, employment as well as the creativity of the population. It's also thought to strengthen the regional identity. There are however processes that complicates this line of reasoning. People are becoming more mobile; they commute over longer distances, they travel more and they often reside in more than one place. Culture on the other hand is becoming more easily accessible through different electronic media thus over bridging geographical distances. Both these processes challenge the role of the regional. The objectives of the paper are: 1) to investigate the importance of the cultural infrastructure in relation to other regional and individual conditions when people choose home region and 2) to study the complexity of this choice, not only considering individual preferences but also exploring the importance of work, mobility and recreational activities. The paper presents a theoretical model of what factors are of importance when people choose home region. The theoretical framework is in part based on Pierre Bourdieu's concepts of economic, social and symbolic (cultural) capital. The nature and magnitude of these individual assets are thought to be of importance when choosing home region. The paper further more recognizes that these forms of capital can be more or less geographically embedded. Geographically embedded assets has in migration literature been called insider advantages, a concept discussed and developed in the paper. Insider advantages are assets that are impossible or costly to bring, replace or make use of in another region, e.g. real estate property, friends, work colleagues, the local choir or knowledge about a place. The larger insider advantages a person has got, the larger the cost of moving. The study is based on a questionnaire sent to 3,000 persons, 30 to 35 years residing in Sweden 2001. The study involves people with degrees in civil engineering, fine arts, media-communication, teaching (upper-secondary schoolteachers) and an additional group of people with upper secondary education as highest education. The paper argues that the capacity to attract people by offering a good quality of life is of crucial importance for regional competitiveness. In studying regional attractiveness, it's important not only to consider what makes people move to a certain region but also what makes people willing to stay. It further more argues that the explanations should be sought in a mix of individual and regional factors as well as in the social and geographical context of the individual.

Karaktären Peter Pan och valet att drömma : En analys av karaktären Peter Pan i olika adaptationerFörfattare:
No full textI denna uppsats kommer tre gestaltningar av berättelsen om Peter Pan diskuteras, med fokus på en analys av karaktären. Syftet är att se vilka gemensamma karaktärsdrag som finns i de olika versionerna och om det går att beskriva en helhetsbild av Peter Pan, och vad helhetsbilden av Peter Pan förmedlar. Verken som diskuteras är romanen Peter and Wendy (1911) samt filmerna Hook (1991) och Pan (2015). Utgångspunkten för uppsatsen är att se vilka karaktärsdrag som utmärker sig i verken, vilka drömmar karaktären har och vilka val karaktären gör för att uppnå dessa drömmar. Denna analys pekar på att det inte går att definiera Peter genom bara ett av hans karaktärsdrag, men att det istället är sammansättningen av karaktärsdragen, överskridande genom verken, som faktiskt bygger upp karaktären. Sammansättningen av dessa karaktärsdrag hjälper till att måla upp Peter som ett mellanting. Genom denna analys kan det konstateras att det är samma karaktär som syns genom verken, dock att det är olika sidor av honom som gestaltas. Dessa sidor tillsammans visar att Peter förkroppsligar en ungdomlig livsgnista som förmedlar att man ska våga tro på sig själv och sina drömmar

Social Comparison Orientations and their Consequences for Justice Perceptions of Earnings
No full textSchneider S, Valet P. Social Comparison Orientations and their Consequences for Justice Perceptions of Earnings. SFB 882 Working Paper Series. Vol 22. Bielefeld: DFG Research Center (SFB) 882 From Heterogeneities to Inequalities; 2013.Recently, research on social comparison orientations (SCOs) has shown remarkable inter-individual variation in people’s tendency to compare themselves with others. Whether this variation bears any consequences for social justice research that assumes social comparisons to be a valuable asset in forming images of just earnings is still an unsolved question. This paper takes up this research challenge and investigates whether the formation of justice attitudes is moderated by inter-individual differences in SCOs. It asks whether people who tend to compare their abilities with others react more strongly towards others’ earnings when they evaluate the justice of own earnings. The analyses are based on data from the 2010 and 2011 pretest modules of the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP). SCOs are measured by the short scale of the Iowa-Netherlands Comparison Orientation Measure (INCOM). The results are in line with theories on distributive justice showing that individuals who earn less than the average of the respective occupational status group are more likely to perceive their earnings as unjust; while respondents who earn more or equally well tend to perceive their earnings as just. This effect is remarkably stronger for people with high SCOs compared to those with low SCOs. Implications for research on social justice are discussed
