The prospects for the next Generation - whether young people, regardless of their backgrounds, have equal chances of social success - pose a momentous problem for modern societies. Inequality of opportunity, often reflected by social immobility, is a threat to the egalitarian promise and the stability of your society. This work argues that social capital transmission plays an important role for the chances of social success in Western societies. For the example of Germany, it is reasoned that weak social capital environments deepen existing disadvantages. Even though all levels of education are easily accessible and affordable, Germany has one of the lowest levels of educational mobility among the industrialized countries of the world. Problems appear to be systematic, since the decision regarding entry into higher secondary education is made at early age and is left, in most cases, with the parents, who rely on their own educational trajectory. Outside of the school environment, differences in social capital inheritance explain educational immobility. With the use of the German Socio-Economic Panel survey from 1984 to 2014, various analyses about the relation between social capital and educational success are performed. Social capital, which is helpful for educational and social success, clearly depends on the educational family background. This indirect link has been disregarded in past contributions. Alternative forms of schooling, such as comprehensive and all-day education, as well as a delay of the decision regarding entry into higher education, could help improving unequal social capital inheritance.

Each novel is extremely relevant to the comprehension of the English and Brazilian societies the period in which the books were written. In the first chapter, we present the historical context that influenced the authors, considering the influence of the Georgian era in the work of Jane Austen, besides her strange choice not to join the Romanticism in vogue at the time. We highlight the Bourgeois Romance and its influences in the work of José de Alencar. In the second chapter, we present a comparison between both novels and their main characters based on the book Comparative Literature, by Sandra Nitrini. The third chapter presents an inter-semiotic dialogue between the 2005 movie Pride and Prejudice, directed by Joe Wright and the novel written by Jane Austen. It also brings an inter-semiotic dialogue between the 1976 movie ”Senhora”, directed by Geraldo Vietri, and the novel written by José de Alencar. Both dialogues aim to elucidate the specifications of literary narrative and filmic narrative. / A proposta desta dissertação é promover um diálogo, a partir da Literatura Comparada, sobre mobilidade social nos romances Orgulho e Preconceito, da escritora inglesa, Jane Austen, e Senhora, do escritor brasileiro José de Alencar.

學歷是否為社會向上流動的必要條件，國內社會普遍認為出人頭地必須靠著學歷才能向上流動。然而，社會必須分工，如同身體臟器各有所司，人的專長亦有所不同，因而發展成社會中的各行各業，行行出狀元。如果學歷等於能力，那麼，德國的大學生比例僅佔三分之一，社會幾乎不流動，照樣能夠安居樂業、經濟實力聞名全球，並且吸引大量難民指名前往要求庇護，這種現象如何解釋學歷與社會地位、生活品質的關係。本研究使用個案研究、文獻分析以及深度訪談，探討德國與臺灣，對於文憑與技職之間所產生的各種矛盾情節。研究發現，德國與臺灣在教育提供的功能、社會流動的方式、進路選擇的排序以及國際接軌的程度均有不同，因此使德國的技職生有自信、專業強。研究建議找回技職的靈魂，讓技職成為社會流動的管道、以技術導向作為甄選內容、增加技術的不可取代性、找回巧匠善工的精神，將有助於提升我國社會對於技職人的形象與社會地位。 / It is believed that education is a means for upward mobility. It is particularly true in Taiwan where parents will do their best to send their children to colleges, instead of vocational schools, for a better chance of moving to upper social classes. In response, the educational administrators of this country turned most vocational schools to universities that gave up the training for skill proficiency. This, in turn, created the deficiency in the supply of technicians needed in this society. It is surprised to find out that such class division between labor and white-collar workers, and that the students in Germany enjoyed going to vocational school and fared pretty well after graduation. What lessons can we learn from German vocational education? This thesis compares the difference between two societies and tries to find out a possible solution for Taiwan’s deteriorating vocational education. Simply speaking, it is important to get the spirit of craftsman back to the professionals to earn respects from the society, which in turn would help to recruit students for vocational education.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur socionomstudenter med arbetarklassbakgrund upplevde universitetsmiljön och det sociala umgänget vid universitetet. För att svara på studiens syfte användes en kvalitativ metod, där åtta intervjuer genomfördes med socionomstudenter från tre olika universitet i Sverige. Studiens data analyserades med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys och med Pierre Bourdieus teorier om kapitalformer och habitus, samt Everett Stonequists begrepp ”the marginal man”. Studiens resultat visade att den första tiden präglades av spänning och oro för socionomstudenterna, då miljön var främmande för dem. Den visade också att det initialt var krävande för studenterna att socialt integreras med övriga studenter. Studien visade att efter en tid vid universitetet, blev studenterna mer bekväma i universitetsmiljön. De flesta hade assimilerats in i universitetsmiljön, det vill säga att studenterna accepterade de normer och förhållningssätt som råder vid universitetet, och kände en tillhörighet till andra socionomstudenter. Slutsatsen visade att de olika kapitalen studenterna hade med sig från uppväxten, hade betydelse för hur upplevelsen av universitetsmiljön blev. Det var framför allt den nya kulturen som var av ett annat slag än vad de var vana vid. Det visade också att ”the marginal man” uppstått hos socionomstudenter på grund av olika sociala kontexter. / The purpose of the study was to examine how social work students with a working-class background experienced the university environment and the social interaction at the university. To answer the purpose of the study, a qualitative method was used, where eight interviews were conducted with social work students from three different universities in Sweden. The data were analyzed with a qualitative content analysis and with Pierre Bourdieu's theories on capital and habitus, as well as Everett Stonequist's concept “the marginal man”. The results of the study showed that the first period at the university was characterized by excitement and anxiety for the social work students, since the environment was foreign to them. It also showed that it was initially demanding for the students to be socially integrated with other students. The study showed that after some time, the students became more comfortable in the university environment. Most had been assimilated into the university environment, which means the students accepted the norms and attitudes that prevailed at the university and felt a sense of belonging to other social work students. The conclusion was that the different forms of capitals had an impact on students’ experiences of the university environment. It primarily the university culture that was new to them. Belonging to different social contexts generated experiences related to “the marginal man” among social work students.

TITLE: The personality of the individual in the process of attaining social status - from social reproduction to identification of the sources for intergenerational upward social mobility. AUTHOR: Tereza Bariekzahyová DEPARTMENT: Department of Psychology SUPERVISOR: Doc. PhDr. Karel Hnilica, CSc. ABSTRACT: The thesis, in which the view through the sociological prism is enhanced by the lens of psychology, theoretically and empirically examines non-cognitive personality traits and characteristics ('Big Five', Self-esteem, Locus of Control, Willpower), within the context of the social and psychological aspects of attaining social status (influences by one's family, peers and teachers, and others), with a specific focus on intergenerational upward mobility and the identification of its sources. Research for this paper was designed as a combination of (primarily) representative questionnaire surveys among the adult population in the Czech Republic, and qualitative interviews with selected individuals who have shown intergenerational upward mobility. The results show that, aside from cognitive skills, the statistically less relevant and hitherto somewhat neglected non-cognitive traits and characteristics of individuals do play a role in the process of attaining social status. The author has been able to...

Some of the main goals of the present study are to understand what are the main problems that the “postmigrant generation” (descendants of immigrants, “mixed” people, and transnational adoptees) are forced to face in contemporary Norwegian society, how the authors present these challenges in diverse ways, and what strategies are put in place to critique and counter oppressive mechanisms. This means that it is also important to investigate the ways in which these works criticize a widespread understanding of the concept of Norwegianness, which a priori excludes all those who, for aesthetic, cultural, linguistic, and religious reasons, cannot be associated with a – false – idea of national homogeneity and Nordic purity. At the same time, it is intended to bring into focus all those cultural and linguistic practices and hybridisms that help to highlight how the old hegemonic paradigms are no longer able to represent contemporary Norway, whose national identity is constantly renegotiated in relation to migratory phenomena, which have triggered processes of transculturalization and transnationalization. In recent years, one of the most innovative and stimulating notions aimed at understanding this new era of migrations and hybridisms, which redefine societies from their foundations, is that of postmigration, which, among other things, proposes to consider the entire society as postmigrant, since migration has now greatly influenced not only the social fabric but also the identity status of European countries. One of the main goals of the postmigrant perspective is to overcome the dichotomies that contrast the figure of the migrant with that of the non-migrant, the idea of a homogeneous “us” with a “them” as a deviation from the norm, the majority population with minorities. This work seeks to combine the theoretical-methodological framework of postmigration with that of intersectionality. Intersectionality presupposes that the social, biological, and cultural categories of class, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, nationality, etc., are inseparable from each other if one wants to fully understand the identity of an individual or group of individuals and, above all, how systemic injustices and inequalities act simultaneously on multiple levels that overlap and intersect with each other. Chapter 1 is divided into three parts and is devoted to A) the theory, method and research objectives, B) the presentation of the postmigrant condition in Norway, and C) the description of postmigration literature – of which a new conceptualization is proposed based on the definition of postmigrant society – and the introduction of the works chosen for analysis: 1) Pakkis (Paki) by Khalid Hussain (1986); 2) Alle utlendinger har lukka gardiner (All Foreigners Have Their Curtains Closed) by Maria Navarro Skaranger (2015); 3) Tante Ulrikkes vei (Tante Ulrikkes Street) and 4) Gul bok (Yellow Book) by Zeshan Shakar (2017; 2020); 5) Kvinner som hater menn (Women Who Hate Men) by Sumaya Jirde Ali (2017); 6) La oss aldri glemme hvor godt det kan være å leve (Let Us Never Forget How Good It Can Be to Live) by Sarah Zahid (2018); 7) Hør her'a! (Listen Up!) by Gulraiz Sharif (2020); 8) Eg snakkar om det heile tida (I Talk About It All the Time); and 9) De må føde oss eller pule oss for å elske oss (They Must Birth Us or Fuck Us to Love Us) by Camara Lundestad Joof (2018; 2022); 10) Kvit, norsk mann (White, Norwegian Man) by Brynjulf Jung Tjønn (2022); 11) Da vi var yngre (When we were younger) by Oliver Lovrenski (2023). Chapter 2 focuses on the comparative analysis of two texts to show how themes and style change, from migration to postmigration literature, regarding the dynamism of migration-related social transformations in Norway. Chapter 3 focuses on the linguistic analysis of the only four novels written so far in the Norwegian multiethnolect (Kebabnorsk), while Chapter 4 aims to understand what translation strategies have been employed to render two of these novels in Italian. Chapter 5 discusses the multiethnic satellite towns on the outskirts of Oslo and how they are the focus of stigmatizing discourses of various kinds. Chapter 6 investigates the correlation between social class and migration background for descendants of immigrants, with a focus on processes of social mobility. Chapter 7 deals with Muslim Norwegians, Islamophobia and the counter-narratives deployed to fight stereotypes and as well as define their space within society. In Chapter 8, focusing on racialization and whiteness, an attempt is made to shed light on the processes of marginalization related to racial categorizations and the life experience of non-white people in Norway. In the conclusions, we reflect on how what has been said in the various chapters connects to the concept of Norwegianness, and in particular to the parameters of inclusion and exclusion from it in contemporary Norway. Norwegian society appears to be an arena in which conflicts, ambivalences, and negotiations occur. These can be traced back to the processes of identity and national redefinition that have been triggered by and related to migration phenomena. Certainly, the selected authors, through their works, contribute to criticizing and at the same time redrawing the boundaries of Norwegianness.
