ECSWR March 23-24
Went to the European Conference on Social Work Research (see abstract book here).
Made some notes for my PhD-project (I’ll put the relation to my other work in the Master Social Work somewhere else):
- From the talk of Sue White:
- Weick says something about ‘organizational culture as a source for high reliability’ in a 1987 article in Culture Management Review. How is reliability defined, here? Is that a concept also applicable to a neighborhood community?
- “Fish don’t know they are in the water”. In other words: we all have defensive routines in a context to keep things non-discussable, and we don’t realize that. The stuff that is (far) below water level of the cultural ice berg.
- From the talk of Andreas Walter:
- The matrix with the micro-meso-macro was interesting to maybe use in my literature review as a means to order my concepts.
- Also the principle of “normalization of life course narrative” might be something to look at. I have to remember that it is from the caregiver perspective. First wait until I an answer on my mail for his presentation.
- From the talk from Jean-Michel Bronvin and Stephan Dahmen:
- The capability approach as a model to assess EBP’s, acountability and a normative tool for social work. Might be a theory to use in my research. I have an example in my sources that I can check later on.
- This makes me think again of the character of many theoretical concepts within the domain of social work (and thus the ECSWR-conference): often they are related to an intervention that has to solve a certain problem; not to prevent a possible problem or, in other words, grab a chance….
- From Matthias Otten’s talk:
- On the congruence of three dimensions when it comes to intercultural communication research: alignment of concept of culture, methods and views on significance.
- Being culture-doing culture,
- emic methods-etic methods and
- research als predictor- research als signifier.
- See this article.
- On the congruence of three dimensions when it comes to intercultural communication research: alignment of concept of culture, methods and views on significance.
- From the workshop of Ute Karl and Ulla Peters:
- (Institutional) conversational analysis
- How are things said?
- What is the function of what is said?
- Why this utterance?
- What is the orientation?
- What are the different layers of context? (geographical, interactional, institutional, intentional, etc.)
- What is the context of knowledge production?
- Documentary analysis
- The hermeneutic stence.
- Document sense with cultural worlds and frames located in social practices.
- Problem solving in interaction (sinngenetisch) and/or in society (soziogenetisch).
- Happens in conjunctive experiences.
- See for example this text and these books by Scott.
- (Institutional) conversational analysis
- From the workshop of Ian Shawn, which is all about ‘narrative research’:
- Thematic analysis:
- More themes in one narrative.
- Text can contain different meanings and idea’s.
- These with-case-themes can be compared across different cases.
- It is about what is being said.
- Narrative analysis:
- One narrative seen as a whole.
- That must be a message then?
- Can be used to compare cases as a whole.
- Is about how it is said
- With the last bit I don’t agree completely. I would say that different themes can be introduced in the narrative in order the build up the story as a whole. Maybe we can say something like: how the teller talks about the themes, connects them, tells us the narrative as a whole. So the ‘what question’ can be asked on different levels and the how frames or enriches these meanings.
- I have to check the literature on narrative analysis when I am ready for it. See also the literature on Ian’s slides.
- Thematic analysis:
- So there are the following analyses I have been introduced to:
- Discourse, narrative, thematic, conversational, documentary.
- Questions like the following can be asked, but I have to find out more about these different analyses.
- What is said?
- How is it said?
- What are the themes?
- What is meant?
- What is the message/ plot?
- What are the assumptions?
- What is the intention?
- What are the different kind of contexts?
Summary meeting Judith March 5th
See the input for this meeting here in this post.
- Talked about my invitation-text for the meeting with new media teachers. Most important change is that I ask them for help and I don’t offer help.
- With respect to my concepts code tree:
- This is going ok; keep in mind to distinguish what I think and what others think.
- There are two connections possible to develop from:
- Something which is well known/described already and can be brought further.
- Something which is not described and can be brought further.
- I remarked that it can also be both (see also this post):
- Neighborhood storytelling is described and researched rigorously with respect to the real life part of it, but not with respect to the on-line part (new media or social media) of it.
- Social media is described rigorously, but not with respect to local story websites.
- So these two lines fall under the definition of something well known, but they cross each other in an unknown area.
- Interestingly in social media most users are also participants (Facebook) and one can infer that in new media (Wikipedia) most users are consumers, according to the definitions I found on Wikipedia (see this post).
- The main explicit and implicit questions for my article are in my working document. Also the aims that I have with it for my PhD-project.
- It is a bit tricky to both add information to my working document and on my blog (and in my outline), maybe I should just use my blog and consider it to be my working document. The chronology and titles become more important then, so I will start to put comprehensive titles and dates in the title field of the posts, in order to have a good overview from the index of the printed Feedfabrik-pdfs.
- I should remember that there are a view ways to look at this phenomenon: that can be the paragraphs in my article/ chapter.
To do:
- Finalize invitation; send to Judith for check.
- Start organizing the meeting; invite people informally.
- Discuss with Elke and Judith what to do about the co-promotorship.
- Go on with the literature!
- Share refworks with Judith.
Summary literature selection from working document
So back to my literature selection:
- How did I select my literature?
- Can I say that I started with an article from Memory studies ‘Creating a new discipline of memory studies’ and that I got the term community memory (and synonyms) from there
- I should probably use synonyms based on that first article from memory studies to check if they lead somewhere: Social memory, Urban memory and Local memory
- I searched for articles describing real cases, not just theoretical stuff. The content criterion to take the material in my review was: it had to be related to a project in which local memories were shared, made into stories and published on a website. Residents have to be involved.
- Searched for “community memory new media storytelling” in scholar and got into the literature about sharing stories.
- The first hits lead to body of knowledge around Sharing Stories
- Can I assume that bodies of knowledge cite each other?
- Followed these articles first to other authors citing their material (one step).
- Skipped things like mobile user generated content, game-like environments; in short where there were no stories. Also school environments. Also organizational environments. Also citizen-journalistic perspectives. Also storytelling alone.
- Followed all citations [of the first 40 hits]
- Followed those authors on QUT to check what they have written about concrete online collections of local memories. This led to some books [still have to finish that].
- I also searched again for books on new media and memory, leading to a list that I had allready.
- I have around 30 articles now (about half of which is from the group of researcher of the Queensland University of Technology on the Sharing Stories).
Uitnodiging bijeenkomst buurtverhalen in het digitale tijdperk
Beste …
Zoals je waarschijnlijk weet, ben ik een aantal jaar met studenten bezig met communities die buurtverhalen verzamelen op een website. Een aantal studenten van CMV zijn voor mijn tijd (vanaf 2003) al betrokken geweest bij het Geheugen van Oost als stagiar voor het Amsterdam Museum (voorheen Amsterdam Historisch Museum). Dat heb ik vanaf 2006 verder uitgebouwd door gemixte groepen studenten van o.a. ook de opleidingen MWD en SPH te betrekken in kleinere en grotere onderzoekstrajecten (o.a. een Raak-deel-project). Sinds ruim een jaar ben ik bezig met een promotieonderzoek gekoppeld aan het Geheugen van Oost en het Geheugen van West. In het zoeken naar een definitief theoretisch kader werk ik de bestaande literatuur door over cases waarin buurtverhalen worden gezocht, bewerkt, gedeeld en verzameld op een website. In die literatuur worden een aantal aspecten beschreven die relevant kunnen zijn voor het onderwijs wat jullie verzorgen.Graag zou ik die matches in kaart willen brengen om gericht materiaal aan te kunnen leveren en mogelijk een sparringpartner te zijn voor die onderwijsonderdelen.
De globale opzet van de middag zal bestaan uit:
- Een vlootschouw van een aantal buurtverhalenwebsites.
- De belangrijkste kenmerken van dit soort websites en communities.
- Een korte inventarisatie van de onderzoeken die we vanuit de opleidingen reeds hebben gedaan.
- Het verzamelen van ideeën over mogelijke aansluiting bij het onderwijs wat jullie al verzorgen.
De gespreksleider is Judith Metz, programmaleider Youthspot en mijn HvA-begeleider in het kader van het promotieonderzoek.
Beoogde docenten: Pieter van Vliet (CMV), Albert Jan Bloemendaal (CMV), Wilma Kannegieter (ICT in het onderwijs), Gerard van der Laan (MWD), Simona Gaarthuis (MWD), Marty Schone (SPH), Jane Spangler (ICT-docent).
Input meeting Judith March 5th
Below the things I have done the last three weeks:
- Wrote a summary of the last meeting with Judith with ‘to do’s’. Most of them are touched upon below.
- Meeting new media teachers:
- Meeting of new media teachers: made a short text that can introduce the meeting, also made a list of invitees.
- Wrt first article:
- Had a look with Warnar at the hierarchical clustering method in SPSS for my first article. Executed some tests, but have to look further whether this is worthwile.
- I still have to make a plan about the changes in the approach and scope that I have to make to the first article.
- With respect to theoretical framework (second article / chapter):
- Continued my working document getting the core argumentations out of the list of articles (not to be discussed completely! Parts of it are referred to below).
- Enlarged the list of relevant articles by these steps.
- The text belonging to the remarks below can be found here in this post:
- Came to some idea’s of the levels of claims on which reference is made to concepts and theories, grounded in either theorizing, empirical findings or intuition.
- Came to a first feeling – based on the close reading summaries – of where the niche is in the existing literature.
- Came to a possible model to analyze the literature with systematically, which is further discussed here in this post (point 7).
- Made a second version of the outline for the second article. Here is the first and old description of the next article/ chapter.
- With respect to the notes about what social problem, question or task on-line collections of local memories might be an answer for, I made these posts for this work in progress.
- Haven’t started a diary yet more then the reflections that can be found in this category. But they are not private.
- Had a quick look at social media analytics. Registered at the IBM conference but didn’t get a confirmation. Have to look at the powerpoint I received.
