Phenomenological Anthropology

Denne artikel omhandler sansninger som en integreret del af den pædagogiske praksis i en børnehave beliggende i et socialt udsat boligområde. Med afsæt i den fænomenologiske antropologi og en orientering mod sanser og sanselighed udforsker artiklen, hvordan pædagogerne i børnehaven erfarer og søger at skabe viden om ’familien’, samt peger på de dilemmaer og potentialer, denne form for vidensskabelse indebærer. Med et perspektiv på det sanselige som politisk såvel som et begreb om atmosfære, argumenteres der for en større faglig opmærksomhed på det sanselige og en bevægelse henimod et fokus på, hvordan der vides i det pædagogiske arbejde og ikke kun, hvad der vides om børn og deres familier. Artiklen bygger på empiri fra et etnografisk feltarbejde.   [Abstract – UK]Gut feelings and bad smells – How pedagogues sense the family in a social housing area. This article addresses the sensorial as an integral part of the pedagogical practices in a Danish kindergarten located in a social housing area. Drawing on phenomenological anthropology and an orientation towards sensations, the article explores how the pedagogues in the kindergarten experience and come to know ‘the family’ as well as the dilemmas and potentials that this involves. With a perspective on sensations as political as well as by drawing on the notion of atmosphere, the article argues for greater attention to the sensorial within the pedagogical profession and a move towards exploring how pedagogues come to know as opposed to what they know about children and their families. The article builds on ethnographic fieldwork.

Abstract Background During the coming years, selected social housing areas in Denmark will undergo large structural changes as part of a political agenda. Previous studies on the effects of such interventions are inconclusive. Residential areas are important for the development of social relations and health. The aim of this study was to explore the associations between social relations and self-rated health (SRH) and the interaction with country of origin in an ethnically diverse social housing area undergoing demolition, and compare results with the municipality. Methods Data include multilingual interviewer driven surveys with residents aged 45+ years before demolition began in 2018 (N = 209) and during the demolition in 2019 (N = 132), and a health survey on municipality level (N = 1638). Information on social relations include contact frequency with and support from family, friends and neighbors. SRH was dichotomized into high/low. Descriptive and multivariate logistic regression analyses adjusted for age, sex and Western/non-Western origin are presented. Results In cross-sectional analyses from 2018, low contact frequency and low support increased the risk of low SRH, OR = 1.44 (0.63-3.29) and OR = 1.23 (0.62-2.48), especially when also having non-Western origin compared to having high contact frequency or support and Western origin, OR = 6.27 (1.80-21.84) and OR = 4.43 (1.68-11.69), respectively. The same association was seen in 2019 and on municipality level. Low contact frequency in 2018 was associated with higher risk of developing or maintaining low SRH in 2019 compared to the group with high contact frequency in 2018 in longitudinal analyses, OR = 3.04 (0.91-10.91). Conclusions Poor social relations increased the risk of low SRH, especially when also having non-Western origin. Having poor social relations before the demolition was associated with an increased risk of developing or maintaining low SRH during the demolition in an ethnically diverse social housing area. Key messages Having low contact frequency before area demolition in a social housing area in Denmark increased the risk of developing or maintaining low self-rated health after demolition had begun. Having poor social relations and non-Western origin is associated with a strong increased risk of low self-rated health in a deprived ethnic diverse social housing area in Denmark.

Drawing from Bourdieu, this study investigated the multifaceted influences that operate in and through combinations of family and social class with regard to the embodiment of physical activity in young adolescents in the UK. The findings suggest that pedagogical practices within the family environment are crucial to the development of embodied dispositions toward physical activity and health. The results illustrate that the family operates as a “pedagogical” field where personal histories and prevailing social circumstances exert a strong influence on children’s embodied physicalities.

This article is an analysis of two sound art performances that took place in June 2015 in outdoor public spaces at the social housing areaUrbanplanenin Copenhagen, Denmark. The two performances wereOn the Productions of a Poor Acousticsby Brandon LaBelle andGreen Interactive Biofeedback Environments (GIBE)by Jeremy Woodruff. In order to investigate the complex situation that arises when sound art is staged in such contexts, the authors of this article suggest exploring the events through approaching them as ‘situations’ (Doherty 2009). With this approach it becomes possible to engage and combine theories from several fields. Aspects of sound art studies, performance studies and contemporary art studies are presented in order to theoretically explore the very diverse dimensions of the two sound art pieces. Visual, auditory, performative, social, spatial and durational dimensions become integrated within the analysis in our pursuit of the most comprehensive interpretation of the pieces possible.

And Gender

This article builds on long-term anthropological fieldwork among young Muslim women in a social housing area in Copenhagen. It explores how morality, modesty, and gender- and generational relations become reconfigured in the ways in which young women use the Smartphone and social media to navigate their everyday lives. I focus on love and marriage, the imperatives of appearing cool among peers, and keeping the family’s honour intact through the display of virtuous behaviour. Building on Bourdieu’s writings on the split habitus, I introduce the term composite habitus, as it underscores the aspect of a habitus that is split between (sometimes contradictory) composite parts. The composite habitus of the young women is more than a hysteresis effect (where disposition and field are in mismatch and the habitus misfires), as the composite habitus also opens up to a range of possible strategies. I present examples of how intimate and secret uses of Smartphones have played out and show how social media have allowed for multiple versions of the self through managing public and secret relationships locally and across long distances.

Aim: To document the challenges of developing and executing an interviewer-driven survey questionnaire in an ethnically diverse and deprived social housing area undergoing reconstruction in Denmark. Methods: The survey was initially planned to be conducted in three waves (before, during and after reconstruction of the housing area), based on a questionnaire covering health, wellbeing and social relations. The first two waves took place in 2018 and 2019 (invited n=~600 per wave) and the third wave will be conducted once the reconstruction is finalised. The approach to the third wave is under revision by the research team. The questionnaire was translated from Danish into the seven most common languages in the housing area. A bilingual interview team went door to door interviewing residents. Field notes were collected systematically during each wave to document the process. Results: The response rates were 35% ( n=209) and 22% ( n=132) for waves 1 and 2, respectively. There was an overall decrease in response rates between waves 1 and 2 for all language groups, but particularly for Arabic and Turkish-speaking men. The most frequently stated reasons for non-participation included illness and language barriers. The key lessons learnt were that overcoming linguistic and cultural barriers to conducting research among residents in this social housing area requires time and resources. Conclusions: Several challenges are associated with conducting a survey in ethnically diverse and deprived social housing areas. Documenting the challenges and learning from experience are both important, in order to include this hard-to-reach population in health research.

Este texto tem como objetivo apresentar uma discussão acerca da proposta curricular das escolas itinerantes do Paraná e como ela se efetiva (ou não) no Colégio Estadual Maria Aparecida Rosignol Franciosi (localizado no distrito de Lerroville, município de Londrina), mais especificamente, em aulas de matemática. Para isso, contextualizamos historicamente a disputa pela terra no estado e a criação dessas escolas em acampamentos do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST). A proposta curricular dessas escolas baseia-se na obra de Pistrak a respeito da Escola-Comuna da União Soviética e está organizada a partir de complexos de estudo, desenvolvidos com porções da realidade, que articulam diversas disciplinas. Com base na realidade vivenciada na escola – registrada em um diário de pesquisa e em gravações de áudio de aulas de matemática – e no complexo de estudo referente à porção da realidade “Produção de Alimentos”, descrito no documento que norteia as práticas pedagógicas dessas escolas, apresentamos algumas ideias para o trabalho em aulas de matemática, abordando as produções dos familiares e discutindo a produção agroecológica e o uso de agrotóxicos.Palavras-chave: Educação Matemática; Educação do Campo; Complexos de estudo; Escolas itinerantes. ABSTRACT: This paper aims to present a discussion about the curricular proposal of the itinerant schools of Paraná and how it is effective (or not) in the State College Maria Aparecida Rosignol Franciosi (it is in Lerroville district in the city of Londrina), more specifically, in mathematics classes. For this, we contextualize historically the dispute for the land in the state of Paraná and the creation of these schools. The curriculum proposal for these schools is based on Pistrak's work on the Soviet Union School-Commune. Based on the reality experienced at school – recorded in a research diary and audio recordings of math classes – and on the complex theme related to the portion of reality "Food Production" described in the document that guides the pedagogical practices of these schools, we present some ideas for the work in mathematics classes, approaching the family members' productions and discussing the agroecological production and the use of pesticides.Keywords: Mathematics Education; Rural Education; Complex method; Itinerant schools.

Why do migrants send remittances? Through ethnographic fieldwork and in-depth interviews among Bangladeshi migrants in Tokyo, this article explores the social determinants of migrants’ remitting practices. It offers a realist analytical approach following Durkheim’s perspective on how society determines an individual’s action. It recognizes social relations between the migrants and their families and relatives as the essential foundation for remitting to occur, while migrants’ adherence to social norms, as well as legal and social exclusion in the destination, causes them to participate in various qualitatively distinct remitting practices. Therefore, it argues that migrants’ social relations to the family and community cause them to remit, and changes in these relations result in subsequent changes in their remitting. It complements the New Economics of Labor Migration (NELM) approach by incorporating the social (both relational and spatial) context of remitting. By bringing in migrants’ agency, it also overcomes the limitations in social-cultural approaches that prioritize structural determinants.

The management of diversity in preschool framework are today one of the main goals of early childhood education. Ιn addition to the school environment, the family also plays a key role in promoting, or not, the acceptance of diversity. The positions and attitudes of parents employed by their children affect, directly or indirectly, the pedagogical practices that teachers usually develop. The purpose of this research was to investigate the perceptions of parents with preschool children about issues of managing diversity in the context of preschool education. Also, this research aimed to determine whether and to what extent the family environment makes efforts to raise young children’s awareness across cultural diversity. The research emerged that about half of the parents, although they initially invoked a neutral attitude towards the cultural diversity encountered in the kindergarten classes, in their deepest views seem to accept the otherness only if it does not make its appearance clearly visible in the classroom.

The article aims to analyze the different strategies of conversion and transmission of cultural capital that parents use in the family structure to provide immigrant children the tools that allow them to face problems associated with the migration process. Following the capital concept in their different states, this research is oriented to analyze through the families’ daily life how its members transmit cultural capital to the children in the host country. This research uses a qualitative methodology, including interviews and ethnographic fieldwork, to obtain data and information about Latin American migrant families living in Santiago, Chile. The findings show differences not only in capital transmission strategies but also in the conversions that precede them.
