The complex depiction of society and class in Elizabeth Gaskell's North and SouthLindfors, Carl Anton January 2022 (has links)
Elizabeth Gaskell’s novels have been praised for their depiction of contemporary society and for giving the voiceless working-class a voice. Her two novels Mary Barton (1848) and North and South (1854) are referred to as industrial novels, giving a contemporary depiction of nineteenth century England. However, Gaskell did receive contemporary criticism for being biased in her first novel, Mary Barton, by not givingthe upper class an adequate and honest depiction. This essay argues that North and South gives a more impartial impression by including a greater complexity with the use of more perspectives and contrasts, and that ultimately this is a response to the critique of Mary Barton. By analysing the mixed genres, the different perspectives of settingand select characters in North and South, and comparing it to Mary Barton, this essay aims to highlight the extensive inherent complexity of North and South. Comparisons between the novels North and South and Mary Barton have been done in earlier journal articles and essays, but never with the focus on the difference in relation to earlier criticism. Therefore this essay could contribute to future research in the sense of suggesting a possible reason for Gaskell’s choice or development in her complex depiction of society.

Urban Regeneration in Norrköping : The Influence of Culture and CreativityGranath, Julia January 2024 (has links)
This study aimed to delve into the historical trajectory of urban development in Norrköping, witha particular focus on its intertwined narrative of industrialization, post-industrial transition, andcultural evolution, with a specific emphasis on The Creative Cities Theory. Furthermore,investigate what paths the city seems to be taking today and where they are going in the future.Once known as an industrial city, Norrköping, like many other cities between the 1950s and 1960s,suffered from the dismantling of industry, resulting in the population facing social challenges suchas unemployment and deteriorating economic conditions. This also had a significant impact on thecity's appearance, and the city planners were challenged to renew and find new ways forNorrköping, such as the culture that had begun to flourish in the city. The research questions couldbe answered by conducting a qualitative data analysis of " The Comprehensive Plan for the city ofNorrköping" and two semi-structured interviews with representatives from the municipality ofNorrköping. The results showed that Norrköping is a city strongly shaped by its history of industry,culture, and politics. Today, the municipality is trying to use the geographical locations andphysical buildings that remain to either reuse them by placing new activities there or building newones on site. Furthermore, the city is facing significant changes in the management of culture andcultural institutions in the city. This is seen as a threat to its previously strong position in the city.

Living in the calm and safe part of the city : The socio-spatial reproduction of upper-middle class neighbourhoods in MalmöRodenstedt, Ann January 2014 (has links)
When residential segregation is mentioned in news coverage and when it is talked about in everyday discourse in Sweden, it is very often associated with immigration and minority groups living in the poorer areas of the city. A common assumption is that “immigrants” actively withdraw from society and that they choose to live together rather than integrating with the majority population. This study, however, argues that discussions about segregation cannot be limited to the areas where minorities and poorer-income groups live, but must understand segregation as a process occurring in the whole system of urban neighbourhoods. In order to reach a more complete understanding of the ways in which segregation processes are at work in contemporary Swedish cities, knowledge is needed about the inhabitants with greater resources and power to choose their dwellings and residential areas. The neighbourhood choices of more privileged groups, and the socio-spatial reproduction of the areas of the upper-middle class, are investigated by applying a qualitative ethnographic framework. The thesis studies two neighbourhoods located in the post-industrial city of Malmö: Victoria Park, a US-inspired “lifestyle community” which is the first of its kind in Sweden, and Bellevue, older but still one of the most exclusive and high-status neighbourhoods in the city. In order to understand self-segregation among privileged groups, the study especially scrutinises the concepts of class and security as well as the impacts of neoliberalisation on the Swedish housing market. The main argument of the study is that the self-segregation by members of the upper-middle class demonstrates a rift which runs through the urban fabric of Malmö, splintering the city up into perceived separate worlds. The existence of physical, symbolic and social boundaries in Victoria Park and Bellevue reproduces these neighbourhoods as exclusive, private and tranquil spaces of the upper-middle class. By locating themselves in the calm and safe part of the city, the upper-middle class can buy security as a commodity, rather than relying on the welfare state to provide it for them.

Previous issue date: 2014 / Industrial production of the printed word has undergone technological changes that culminated in the demise of the traditional crafts of typography and linotype. To understand these modes do, feel and represent the printed word appealed to the orality of compositors and typesetters through their testimonials. The narratives of the new printers and professional offset phototypesetting technology provide the questioning of the limits and possibilities of working-class struggle against capitalist exploitation, posed by this new world of work in the printing industry of Fortaleza. Multiple temporalities worked by his memories represent the experiences of these workers in the struggle against the subordination of labor to a capitalist logic of industrialism. Apart from oral sources, the documentary corpus is composed by union sources (meeting minutes, pamphlets, newspapers), reports and industry surveys of FIEC and SENAI, photographs, images, and specialized works in graphic production. The analysis was sustained on the theoretical contributions of the Social History of Labour (mainly EP Thompson), the Oral History Alessandro Portelli and the critique of industrialism Kirkpatrick Sale, plus a host of other authors. / A produção industrial da palavra impressa passou por transformações tecnológicas que culminaram na extinção dos tradicionais ofícios da tipografia e linotipia. Para compreender esses modos de fazer, sentir e representar a palavra impressa recorreu-se à oralidade de tipógrafos e linotipistas através de seus depoimentos. As narrativas dos novos profissionais impressores e fotocompositores da tecnologia offset proporcionam a problematização dos limites e possibilidades à luta operária contra a exploração capitalista, colocados por esse novo mundo do trabalho na indústria gráfica de Fortaleza. As múltiplas temporalidades trabalhadas por suas memórias representam as experiências desses trabalhadores na luta contra a subordinação do trabalho a uma lógica do industrialismo capitalista. Além das fontes orais, o corpus documental é composto por fontes sindicais (atas, panfletos, jornais), relatórios e pesquisas industriais da FIEC e do SENAI, fotografias, imagens e obras especializadas em produção gráfica. A análise sustentou-se sobre as contribuições teóricas da História Social do Trabalho (principalmente E.P. Thompson), a História Oral de Alessandro Portelli e a crítica ao industrialismo de Kirkpatrick Sale, além de uma gama de outros autores.

Teorie Ronalda Ingleharta a jejich přínos historické sociologii se zřetelem na publikace od roku 2000. / Ronald Inglehart's theories and their contribution to historical sociology with regard to the publications since 2000.Zelenka, Jakub January 2021 (has links)
This diploma thesis aims to map the work that Ronald Inglehart published after the year 2000 and to include it in the concept of historical sociology. In my work I deal with a total of seven books, which I subject to critical reflection and at the same time I compare with other authors who commented on the given topics. The work will touch on theories of modernization, democratization, secularization and to a lesser extent civilization analysis. I will also add remarks and observations from the point of view of quantitative methodology, as Inglehart's theories are based on a large amount of quantitative data based on questionnaire surveys. The first part of my work deals with modernization theory, the next part deals with secularization and the third part focuses on the analysis of civilization. In modernization and secularization, I will first introduce versions of the theories that Inglehart and co-authors published during the first decade of the 21st century. After that, I will always reflect on recent work (2017- 2021). In the civilization part, which is the shortest, I will summarize his findings across his work. At the end of his work, Inglehart also makes predictions about future society. I also intend to analyze these findings in my diploma thesis. At the end of the work I evaluate the...

The production of Mode 2 knowledge in higher education in South AfricaMusson, Doreen 08 1900 (has links)
The study explores, through a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, the existence of Mode 2 knowledge and programmes in the South African higher education sector. It begins by theorising about knowledge and takes as a point of departure the propositions about theory-building which state that to explain social phenomena, a system of ideas is required, the conceptual tools of which are able to explain the essential dynamics of such phenomena. It goes on to describe a crisis in a system of ideas that, together with valid critiques, demands to be re-examined as well as the potential for advancing alternative lines of thought. A critical reading and understanding of existing theories leads me to believe that independently, they are all inadequate to explain the relationship between knowledge production and South African higher education in an era of globalisation. This includes the all-encompassing framework of neo-Marxism, the excessive consumerism of academic capitalism, the equation of the worker with modern technology in post-industrialism and the`lax relativity', complacent and, indiscriminate celebration of diversity in post-modernism. By combining the `culturally sensitive' critical post-modernism of William Tierney and George Subotzky with the concept of `late capitalism' as proposed by Frederic Jameson, it is possible to establish a relationship between globalisation and South African higher education on the one hand, and between its' policy and knowledge production on the other. Against the features of the newly proffered theoretical framework of `critical postmodernism in late capitalism', the study examines the new higher education policy and legislation and ensuing discourse, with particular reference to the Gibbons thesis. It then explores, by using an empirical investigation, the extent to which Mode 2 knowledge production exists in South African higher education. This is done through a selected programme from a former technikon in that demonstrates the key assumptions and perceptions about Mode 2 as held by lecturing staff and as embedded in the structure, design and content of the programme. With the results obtained the study finally makes recommendations for the establishment of a paradigm-shift and for new practices in knowledge production in higher education in South Africa. / Educational Studies / D.
