Mötet mellan skäggiga män : Hur ett socialt möte skapar en plats

Werbowsky, Charlotte January 2016 (has links)
ABSTRACT Today our physical appearance is more important than before. The way we physically present ourselves is how many of us would like to be seen. By acting a certain way, dressing a certain way or spend time with a certain social group we identify ourselves. A certain style that an individual presents can say something about what that individual are interested in and how the person spends his or her time. Today many complement their physical appearance with a physical attribute like a beard. Beard is seen as something that is trendy and masculine. Many men identify themselves with their beard, even thou it is only a part of the male physical appearance. In Sweden there is a beard contest called “En Karl Med Skägg” this is an event with an audience that nominates Sweden’s best beard of ten final contestants. Men all over the country apply for the contest. A jury then selects ten men that will be the final contestants for the best beard of Sweden.   This thesis is going to analyze the social meeting that the participants create while participating in the contest and the importance of that meeting to them. While participating in the event, participants give the place of the event a meaning and the place of the event also got a meaning to the participants both socially and geographically. These men create a social place that is time-stretched with an importance to them. This thesis is also going to examine how this type of event symbolizes modern culture and how the male gaze is of higher importance than before historically. The thesis is going to analyze the connection between the male self-identification and participating in a social meeting between others, by appearance similar individuals.

Mötet i stadsparken : Ett gestaltande arbete om sociala mötesplatser i parker / Meeting in the Urban Park : A design study on social meeting places in parks

Carlsson, Matilda January 2024 (has links)
Fysiska sociala möten och interaktioner är viktigt för att vi människor ska må bra. I dagens internet landskap är det svårt för många att få motvation ayt komma ut och umgås i dem mer traditionella mötesrummen i staden. Vissa platser behöver dessutom utformas bättre för att stärka motivationen för att människor ska vilja mötas och umgås där. Detta arbete kommer därför att handla om hur parker med bristande sociala förutsätningar kan omgestaltas för att uppmuntra sociala möten och höja parkernas sociala kapital. I arbetet undersöks vad dagens moderna park är och vad som skapar parker där människor vill mötas och interagera med varandra. Syftet är att få en djupare förståelse i hur man kan stärka sociala möten genom att omgestalta en miljö där sådana värden saknas. För att kunna besvara frågorna görs en dokumentstudie som presenteras i kunskapsöversikten som består av forskning och texter av experter, forskare och myndigheter inom arkitektur, fysisk planering, hälsa och sociala förhållanden. Kunskapsöversikten innehåller också en del forskning från svenska och internationella myndigheter. Det utförs även en platsanalys och observationer av en utvald plats. Arbetet resulterar i ett designförslag av en park som idag har problem med sociala interaktioner. / Physical social meetings and interactions are important for our well-being. In today's internet landscape, it is difficult for many to find motivation to go out and socialize in the more traditional meeting spaces in the city. Some places also need to be better designed to strengthen the motivation for people to want to meet and socialize. This work will therefore focus on how parks with insufficient social conditions can be redesigned to encourage social meetings and increase the parks social capital. The work investigates what a modern park is today and what creates parks where people want to meet and interact with each other. The aim is to gain a deeper understanding of how social meetings can be strengthened by redesigning an environment where such values are lacking. To answer the questions, a document study is conducted and presented in the knowledge overview, which consists of research and texts by experts, researchers, and authorities in architecture, physical planning, health, and social conditions. The knowledge overview also includes some research from Swedish and international authorities. A site analysis and observations of a selected site are also carried out. The work results in a design proposal for a park that currently has problems with social interactions.
