The Relationship

Abstract Qualitative research on positive coping approaches actually used by caregivers can inform interventions that can be feasibly implemented. Absent from previous qualitative research is how caregivers respond to strain in the relationship, specifically. Eight focus groups were conducted with a purposeful sample of racially and ethnically diverse family caregivers in Los Angeles (n=75). An additional 8 in-depth follow-up interviews were conducted. Content analysis was used to understand the mechanisms employed by caregivers to cope with strain and tension in the caregiving relationship. Preliminary results revealed twenty-two individual themes, which were subsequently grouped into four main superordinate themes: 1) Self-care; 2) Adaptation of behaviors and feelings; 3) Seeking and utilizing assistance and respite; and 4) Education and support groups. This work can help inform the design of programs to support caregivers and prevent potentially harmful behaviors, through understanding the experiences of caregivers in their own words.

Physical Displacement

By focusing on Latinx immigrant food truck vendors in Los Angeles, this article calls to rethink and expand how we understand gentrification as a mechanism of neo-liberal redevelopment ideologies in space by extending these spatial understandings of gentrifying processes not only as physical spatial displacement but also as a way to exclude meanings and histories of marginalized populations. These exclusions contribute to a racialized mobile food vending hierarchy, dialectically produced through urban policies that actively further urban inequalities, resulting in what I call cultural gentrification. I argue that cultural gentrification can occur through commodification of cultural economic forms like mobile food vending by the urban truck revolution phenomena. Although these gentrification processes do not entail physical displacement of a group of people by another group, since Latinx taco trucks and street vendors do not sell in the same areas as gourmet food trucks, they do create barriers, exclusions and invisibilities that maintain racialized mobile food vending hierarchies through urban policies that actively further urban inequalities. The study draws on qualitative research undertaken in Los Angeles intermittently from 2004 to 2013 of Latinx food truck vendors, gourmet food truck vendors, local-state actors and business owners key informants.

Culturally Embedded

This chapter introduces creativity as a fundamental human desire and activity that is culturally embedded and socially regulated. Examples are drawn from classical, jazz, and traditional musicians in Cape Town, Helsinki, and Los Angeles. Conducting in-depth qualitative research among such diverse communities poses methodological challenges but also reveals rich insights. The chapter proposes a model of creativity based on these musicians’ experiences and discusses the components of generativity, agency, interaction, nonconformity, recycling, and flow. It theorizes why societies do not always value creativity and how they regulate it, addressing issues of power, punishment, socially induced emotions, motivation, and morality. Common enablers and inhibitors of creativity are introduced. Classical, jazz, and traditional music scenes in Cape Town, Helsinki, and Los Angeles are compared and contrasted.

Main Section

Revisiting Hunter's (1974 , 1979 ) classic but rarely applied notion of a “hierarchy of communities,” this article investigates the nested meanings and uses of place in the urban realm. Qualitative research conducted in two Los Angeles neighborhoods in the late 1990s revealed the existence of four layers of community, here called microsettings, street blocks, walking distance neighborhoods, and enclaves. While all these geographies have been examined previously by urban scholars in a variety of contexts, they have never been linked and discussed together as parts of a hierarchy of communities. The main section of the article explores the four layers by taking into account residents’ sentiments and practical uses of their environment, neighborly interaction and relationships, and locals’ participation in collective events and rituals. For each zone of community, I discuss two salient characteristics and briefly compare the two research neighborhoods. The conclusion reflects on the interchange of the identified layers and suggests further uses of the new conceptual model.

AbstractIn this chapter I draw on my fieldwork experience in Los Angeles to discuss the potential of video for qualitative research on migration and political action. I focus specifically on three aspects: access to the field, research respondents and data; video and the study of micro-social interaction; video as a tool to generate new insights and data. I argue that video has facilitated, enriched and expanded my understanding of migrant political action in several ways, some of which were entirely unexpected at the beginning of this research. Within the field of migration studies, video appears particularly suitable to research the terrain of politics and culture, since it provides the means to study a key social aspect that is difficult to investigate in detail only with other types of methods: interaction. Hence, video as both a tool and a method proved a useful complement to interviews, artefacts and archive documentation.

Unrealistic Expectations

The popularity of social media has influenced the field of the arts including the world of hip-hop dance as well. The platforms allowed hip-hop dancers to reach entire crowds throughout the online surfaces. Choreographers and dancers became famous by their shared videos, which soon lead to the appearance of a growing number of edited, performance-like, therefore, manipulated class footages. These posts show a distorted image and unrealistic expectations regarding the purpose of taking classes. The influence of these videos has been unknown so far but it is a heated topic amongst hip-hop dancers. The relation of social media and hip-hop dance was studied through a qualitative research with participants from Budapest, London and Los Angeles (n=6). The results show that social media sometimes individually and other times regionally can be an advantage or a disadvantage both for hip-hop dancers and the classes that they take. The platforms also influence hip-hop teachers and their students mentally and physically, it effects their motivation, sponsorship and job opportunities as well.

The pattern of BSA-Au uptake in vivo by endothelial cells of the venous sinuses (sinusoidal cells) of rat bone marrow has been described previously. BSA-Au conjugates are taken up exclusively in coated pits and vesicles, enter and pass through an “endosomal” compartment comprised of smooth-membraned tubules and vacuoles and cup-like bodies, and subsequently reside in multivesicular and dense bodies. The process is very rapid, with BSA-Au reaching secondary lysosmes one minute after presentation. (Figure 1)In further investigations of this process an isolated limb perfusion method using an artificial blood substitute, Oxypherol-ET (O-ET; Alpha Therapeutics, Los Angeles, CA) was developed. Under nembutal anesthesia, male Sprague-Dawley rats were laparotomized. The left common iliac artery and vein were ligated and the right iliac artery was cannulated via the aorta with a small vein catheter. Pump tubing, preprimed with oxygenated 0-ET at 37°C, was connected to the cannula.
