The present article investigates two recently published essayistic memoirs, Ellie Harrison’s The Glasgow Effect (2019) and Darren McGarvey’s Poverty Safari (2017), and the debate between the two writers/artists within the wider framework of the Glasgow discourse, a manneristic imagination of the city shaped by the Glasgow novel in the course of the twentieth century. Focusing on issues of representation of traumatic historical memory, it relies especially on Myriam Jimeno’s idea of emotional community and presents the Glasgow novel as an example of such community, originally designed to make the predicament of the working classes visible. The article contends that many contemporary novels posit deviance from the genre’s original function of voicing the subaltern, exploiting instead a popular literary cliché. It also argues that both the texts, by representing their authors’ emotions and life stories as embedded in the city’s social and cultural landscape, dis/place the borders of the city’s imagination, simultaneously stumbling upon and pushing back the limits of the Glasgow discourse

The present article analyses the association between the way in which public policy conceptualises poverty (in discourse and practice), the conception of poverty of people who live in extreme poverty conditions and the strategies they develop to affront it, in the light of their participation in the Puente Programme in Chile. The data emanate from research work carried out from a qualitative perspective using in-depth interviews with people considered to be living in extreme poverty and including a gendered analytic. The ‘Puente Programme’ is part of Chilean public policy aimed to reduce levels of poverty and extreme poverty, in consonance with the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) One as stated by the UNDP. Indeed, such policies seem to have had the effect of generating a self-perception of lack of opportunities, low level of agency in the solutions of their problems and consequently, fewer possibilities of achievement of the ends that they have in mind among the users. Also, we conclude that the strategies used by the Puente Programme have neither strengthened community association, nor helped to regenerate community networks. Additionally, the interviewed people do not feel empowered or improved in their citizenship capacities. Instead, what results is a sense of dependency on institutions. Finally, we postulate that the Puente Programme has not contributed to the development of a community or in subjective welfare.

This chapter examines Yung Vilne (Young Vilna, 1929–1940). In the decade preceding the outbreak of the Second World War, a group of young, unknown Yiddish poets, writers, and artists helped turn Vilna into the dominant Yiddish cultural centre in Poland. These young men and women, the majority of them from Vilna itself or its neighbouring towns, emerged at a moment when Jewish Vilna's culture was defined by its commitment to Yiddish culture and youth. Drawn together under the rubric Yung Vilne, the group synthesized the aspirations of individual members for artistic experimentation and freedom of expression with a collective concern for the social, political, and cultural life of the city. In doing so, Yung Vilne earned the distinction of being both the last of the major Yiddish avant-garde movements in inter-war Poland, and the literary group most evocative of the pressures of time and place.

An exemplary ethnography of post-apartheid life: this book takes the reader to a place that few people know even exists—a self-run shelter for homeless young people in Durban. What emerges is a searing portrait of drugs, violence, and AIDS but also of compassion, love, loyalty, and humanity. Point Place (a self-run homeless shelter for the young homeless) stands near the city center of Durban, South Africa. Condemned and off the grid, the five-story apartment building is home to a hundred-plus teenagers and young adults marginalized by poverty and chronic unemployment. This book draws on ten years of up-close fieldwork to explore the distinct cultural universe of the Point Place community. The investigations reveal how young men and women draw on customary notions of respect and support to forge an ethos of connection and care that allows them to live far richer lives than ordinarily assumed. The book's discussion of gender dynamics highlights terms like nakana—to care about or take notice of another—that young women and men use to construct “outside” and “inside” boyfriends and girlfriends and to communicate notions of trust. The book exposes the structures of inequality at a local, regional, and global level that contribute to socioeconomic and political dislocation. But it also challenges the idea that Point Place's marginalized residents need “rehabilitation.” As the book argues, these young men and women want love, secure homes, and the means to provide for their dependents—in short, the same hopes and aspirations mirrored across South African society.

When Dwight L. Moody left his native town of Northfield, Massachusetts, for Boston in 1854, he was one among hundreds of young men flocking to urban centers in hopes of achieving greater prosperity and “success” in mercantile careers than their families had attained through agricultural pursuits or village commerce. This trend was part of a larger pattern of urban growth that began in the early nineteenth century, fueled by both foreign immigration and the expansion of industrial capitalism. In the decades prior to the Civil War, Boston's population expanded exponentially, reaching nearly 140,000 at the time of the 1850 census, a six-fold increase since 1800. Of this number, nearly one-half were of “foreign” birth or parentage, and an additional 25,000 were “Americans” who had migrated to Boston from rural New England and other areas of the United States. Only around 50,000—or 35 percent of the total population—had been born and raised in Boston. This rapid influx of newcomers to the city provoked growing concern among native Bostonians, as the presence of rural youths, Irish Catholics, and other “outsiders” began to challenge and transform traditional patterns of social, economic, political, and religious life.

Objectives The aim of this article is to recognize and understand how certain discourses and practices carried out by health professionals and sonographers shape the emotional experiences of women who aborted with medication in two provinces of Cuyo, Argentina. Method The research was carried out with a qualitative design through a biographical method and thematic life-stories that emphasize the experience with medical abortion in conditions where abortion is legally and socially restricted. For this research, 18 in-depth interviews were conducted and analysed with women who underwent at least one voluntary pharmacological abortion made in a clandestine way between 2010 and 2019 and who registered interactions with professionals. The interviews were conducted between 2016 and 2019. Results Criminalizing, disciplinary and/or normativizing discourses implemented through direct and indirect actions affected the configuration of women's emotional experiences. The emotional effects of clandestinity were reinforced: they intensified the fear for their own lives and the fear of being denounced and imprisoned; promoted feelings of vulnerability, uncertainty, lack of control over one’s life, persecution and imposed certain silences. Conversely, moralizing and blaming discourses did not have said effects on the women interviewed. Conclusions These interventions are strategies of gender discipline that produce and reproduce criminalizing power practices and that have a central role in the experiences of women: said discourses affect negatively their emotional health; they push them to take avoidable risks and they violently limit their right to an integral health. Nonetheless, they do not take away women’s power to make decisions about their own body.

The present article analyzes changes and continuities in gender relationships and autonomy among wives of returned migrants in the city of Teocelo, Veracruz, Mexico. For that purpose, we used a qualitative method, specifically, the analysis of life stories as reported by seven local women. The departure, absence, and return of a migrant husband entails a series of changes in the practices and subjectivities of wives. These changes have to be negotiated with the returnee to maintain the couple relationship and family ties. The present study stresses the importance of continuing research on migration using a gender perspective to properly acknowledge and evaluate the experience of women married to migrant returnees. The present analysis seeks to contribute to gender-sensitive studies on the phenomenon of migration.
