Når steder får en stil:forhandlinger af identitet, stil og tilhør
No full textDanmark er et land præget af en høj grad af urbanisering og korte geografiske afstande. Men alligevel er der store forskelle på, hvordan de unge oplever deres muligheder og råderum og hvordan de navigerer i disse muligheder. I dette kapitel undersøger vi, hvordan unge i fire geografiske lokationer i Danmark identificerer sig med og distancerer sig fra forskellige ungdomskulturelle stiludtryk. Kapitlet tager afsæt i en teoretisk ramme, der fokuserer på smag, distinktion og stedstilhør, og som anvendes til at analysere et datamateriale baseret på fokusgruppeinterviews med unge, der enten går i gymnasiet, er i gang med en erhvervsuddannelse eller er uden for uddannelsessystemet. På denne baggrund undersøges det, hvordan sted og stil kobles sammen i den måde, hvorpå de unge tillægger mening til forskellige stiludtryk. Vi undersøger således ikke alene de unges måder at forholde sig til forskellige stil-udtryk som æstetik. Vi ser også på, hvordan stiludtryk er geografisk differentierede og dermed hænger sammen med de unges forståelse af det sted de bor, samt den modsatrettede proces, dvs. hvordan det sted, de bor og har et tilhørsforhold til, også er knyttet til bestemte stiludtryk. <br/
At the Margins:The Persistent Inequalities of Youth, Place and Class
Full text linkThis chapter looks back on three studies, completed over forty years, to consider change and continuity in the experiences of young people growing up in rural and marginalised localities in the North of England. It also reflects briefly on some of the continuities and repetitions in sociological thinking about young people and youth transitions. All three studies showed how place makes immediate ‘the structure of economic opportunities’ for young people, how it generates different degrees of inclusion and exclusion, and how it contours local class identities that tell you ‘who you are’ and ‘what you can do’. Young people’s identities and transitions have undoubtedly become less fixed under the pressures and opportunities of globalisation. Nevertheless, place still operates in powerful, complex and multiple ways, and at different scales, in shaping young people’s attachments, aspirations and future possibilities. This may be particularly true for young people ‘at the margins’
Youth Beyond the City
No full textThis interdisciplinary collection charts the experiences of young people in places of spatial marginality around the world, dismantling the privileging of urban youth, urban locations and urban ways of life in youth studies and beyond.
Expert authors investigate different dimensions of spatiality including citizenship, materiality and belonging, and develop new understandings of the complex relationships between place, history, politics and education. From Australia to India, Myanmar to Sweden, and the UK to Central America, international examples from both the Global South and North help to illuminate wider issues of intergenerational change, social mobility and identity.
By exploring young lives beyond the city, this book establishes different ways of thinking from a position of spatial marginality
Places of Belonging, Places of Detachment : Belonging and Historical Consciousness in Narratives of Rural Finnish Girls
No full textThis chapter contributes to the ongoing discussion about rural belonging by considering the role of historical consciousness (Rüsen, 2004) in the process of belonging in a place. The chapter suggests that young people’s temporal orientation in relation to local culture and history plays a significant role in their commitment to rural communities. The analysis draws on qualitative longitudinal data from Finnish girls, aged 16–19, from two sparsely populated regions (Central Finland and the Northern Finnish Sámi homeland). The chapter shows how multiple strands of commitment tie rural young people to their local surroundings, where the past is present in the landscape and everyday life in a myriad of ways, including long-standing traditions of out-migration. For the girls of this study belonging was an ongoing process of placing themselves in a cross-generational continuum. Most of the girls’ accounts featured both elements of belonging and being pulled away from the rural regions. A feeling of belonging did not necessarily imply willingness to build a future in the region, and vice versa: many of those girls that moved away from rural regions to study wished to stay connected to their history, culture and home communities.peerReviewe
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
