This article draws on adaptation and genre theory to argue that the downriver narrative constitutes a distinct genre in literature for youth. This genre is characterised by a repertoire of narrative elements including alternations between the river as a space of reflection and refuge, social interactions that occur on land, and the social and political commentary voiced by the river travellers. These patterns appear in diverse cultural and historical contexts, as exemplified by Auguste Lazar's Jan auf der Zille [Jan on the barge] (1934/1950), Richard Scrimger's Into the Ravine (2007), and David Almond's Heaven Eyes (2000). Published in Germany, Canada, and the UK, these novels deploy episodic accounts of journeying downstream to perform a range of cultural work, including articulating discourses about citizenship and nationhood, raising critical awareness about questions of difference, and promulgating Romantic models of childhood.

This article investigates attitudes towards inequality among creativeworkers. In the UK, there is considerable public interest in access tocreative jobs, and a concern that these jobs are limited to those fromprivileged backgrounds. Moreover, both inequalities in cultural work andthe attitudes of cultural workers have been important areas of study forexisting research. Based on a web survey (N=2487), thisarticle investigates attitudes among creative workers, and finds that thecharacteristics that are most consistently associated with success bycreative workers are hard work and ambition, rather than structuralfactors, such privileged social origins, gender or ethnicity. Usingprincipal components analysis and regression, we show that there are threemain factors related to getting ahead, associated with reproduction,meritocracy, and education, and we show that those in the most privilegedpositions – broadly, the highest-paid white non-disabled men – are thosemost likely to deny an account of success in the creative industries associated with cultural reproduction. Weconclude that the attitudes held by creative workers, and who holds whichattitudes, make it unlikely that access to the sector and trajectories ofindividual progression within the sector will change.This paper has been submitted to a journal for consideration.

Changing Attitudes

There is a dearth of qualitative research exploring how freelancers working in the cultural industries have been affected during COVID-19. In particular, there is a lack of research exploring how socioeconomic and psychosocial adversities may have changed or evolved, and how these changes have been experienced. This study builds on qualitative interviews carried out in July-November 2020 (n=20) by exploring findings from follow-up interviews conducted in May-July 2021 (n=16). It presents a diversity of experiences, showing how some freelancers experienced small changes (e.g., to the kind of work carried out), with others experiencing major changes (e.g., leaving the sector completely). The study also explores experiences of ongoing or increased mental health impact, as well as changing attitudes to cultural work. It concludes with a call for highly bespoke support in the future that can address the huge disparity of experiences during this time.

Background: Self-poisoning (overdose) is the commonest form of self-harm cases presenting to acute secondary care services in the UK, where there has been limited investigation of self-harm in black and minority ethnic communities. London has the UK’s most ethnically diverse areas but presents challenges in resident-based data collection due to the large number of hospitals. Aims: To investigate the rates and characteristics of self-poisoning presentations in two central London boroughs. Method: All incident cases of self-poisoning presentations of residents of Lambeth and Southwark were identified over a 12-month period through comprehensive acute and mental health trust data collection systems at multiple hospitals. Analysis was done using STATA 12.1. Results: A rate of 121.4/100,000 was recorded across a population of more than half a million residents. Women exceeded men in all measured ethnic groups. Black women presented 1.5 times more than white women. Gender ratios within ethnicities were marked. Among those aged younger than 24 years, black women were almost 7 times more likely to present than black men were. Conclusion: Self-poisoning is the commonest form of self-harm presentation to UK hospitals but population-based rates are rare. These results have implications for formulating and managing risk in clinical services for both minority ethnic women and men.

Abstract. This study used a longitudinal data set of 5,672 adults followed for 50 years to determine the factors that influence adult trait Openness-to-Experience. In a large, nationally representative sample in the UK (the National Child Development Study), data were collected at birth, in childhood (age 11), adolescence (age 16), and adulthood (ages 33, 42, and 50) to examine the effects of family social background, childhood intelligence, school motivation during adolescence, education, and occupation on the personality trait Openness assessed at age 50 years. Structural equation modeling showed that parental social status, childhood intelligence, school motivation, education, and occupation all had modest, but direct, effects on trait Openness, among which childhood intelligence was the strongest predictor. Gender was not significantly associated with trait Openness. Limitations and implications of the study are discussed.
