Urban Sociology Is the Enduring View of Urban Space As a Proxy for Demographic, Structural, Economic Or Behavioral Variables in Social Research
UC Santa Barbara Spaces for Difference: An Interdisciplinary Journal Title Finding Space Beyond Variables: An Analytical Review of Urban Space and Social Inequalities Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3tz160nq Journal Spaces for Difference: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 1(2) Author Joseph, Lauren Publication Date 2008-12-01 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Spaces for Difference: An Interdisciplinary Journal Volume 1, Number 2, pp. 29-50 Finding Space Beyond Variables: An Analytical Review of Urban Space and Social Inequalities LAUREN JOSEPH Stony Brook University ABSTRACT Attention to the element of space in the urban setting illuminates how social inequalities and social difference are reproduced and contested. In this review essay, I draw upon urban social research to demonstrate the relevance and utility of spatial analysis in the city, focusing on the dimensions of race, class, gender, and sexuality. I present a conceptual framework for analyzing the intersection of urban space, social inequality, and social difference: (a) urban space as inscribed by boundaries and reflective of patterns of social difference and inequality; (b) urban space as a site and object of struggle between social groups; and (c) urban space as a vehicle for social reproduction through the logic of its universe. Edward Soja points to the recent “spatial turn” of the late 1990s, in which he finds a “renewed awareness of the simultaneity and interwoven complexity of the social, historical, and spatial dimensions of our lives, their inseparability and often problematic interdependence” (2000:7). Drawing on Michel Foucault’s (1984) attention to the intersections of space, knowledge, and power and Henri Lefebvre’s (1991) conceptualization of the relations between spatiality, society and history, social researchers across disciplines have increasingly turned toward examining the social production of space, particularly urban space. -
A Bibliometric and Visual Analysis of Rural Development Research
sustainability Review A Bibliometric and Visual Analysis of Rural Development Research Ying Lu * and Walter Timo de Vries Chair of Land Management, Department of Aerospace and Geodesy, Technical University of Munich (TUM), 80333 Munich, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Rural development research integrates numerous theoretical and empirical studies and has evolved over the past few decades. However, few systematic literature reviews have explored the changing landscape. This study aims to obtain an overview of rural development research by applying a bibliometric and visual analysis. In this paper, we introduce four computer-based software tools, including HistCite™, CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Map and Alluvial Generator, to help with data collection, data analysis, and visualization. The dataset consists of 6968 articles of rural development research, which were downloaded from the database Web of Science. The period covers 1957 to 2020 and the analysis units include journals, categories, authors, references, and keywords. Co-occurrence and co-citation analysis are conducted, and the results are exported in the format of networks. We analyze the trends of publications and explore the discipline distribution and identify the most influential authors and articles at different times. The results show that this field of study has attracted progressively more scholars from a variety of research fields and has become multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary. The changing knowledge domains of rural development research also reflect the dynamics and complexity of rural contexts. Keywords: rural development research; bibliometric analysis; visualization Citation: Lu, Y.; de Vries, W.T. A Bibliometric and Visual Analysis of Rural Development Research. -

Guidelines for Submitting a Special Issue Proposal to Space and Culture
Guidelines for submitting a special issue proposal to Space and Culture Aims & Scope: Space and Culture is an interdisciplinary journal that fosters the publication of reflections on a wide range of socio-spatial arenas such as the home, the built environment, architecture, urbanism, and geopolitics. It covers Sociology, in particular, Qualitative Sociology and Contemporary Ethnography; Communications, in particular, Media Studies and the Internet; Cultural Studies; Urban Studies; Urban and Human Geography; Architecture; Anthropology; and Consumer Research. Articles on the application of contemporary theoretical debates in cultural studies, discourse analysis, virtual identities, virtual citizenship, migrant and diasporic identities, and case studies are encouraged Special issues: Special issues of Space & Culture are welcomed in the areas flagged above. All special issues need to address the central concerns of the journal, which is to explore cutting-edge questions of spatiality and materiality by connecting conceptual analysis with empirical work. The guest editors need to be able to explain in their framing of the issue exactly what their approach contributes to current debates how and why this topic is going to be addressed by the individual contributions. Where relevant, the journal encourages the scope of special issues to encompass geographic and other forms of diversity, with perspectives from the global South of special interest. Individual articles therefore also should be able to demonstrate how understandings of space will be advanced via their own novel empirical projects. fulfil all the normal requirements of any individual Space & Culture article, be of relevance to a wide international and multidisciplinary readership. Authors should note that the same criteria of quality, originality, and significance apply to articles in special issues as to regular articles and all individual articles will be peer- reviewed. -

Habitus and Homeland: Educational Aspirations, Family Life and Culture in Autobiographical Narratives of Educational Experience in Rural Wales
Habitus and Homeland: Educational Aspirations, Family Life and Culture in Autobiographical Narratives of Educational Experience in Rural Wales Sally Baker* and B.J. Brown Abstract We use the concept of habitus to illuminate the autobiographical narratives of partici- pants from disadvantaged backgrounds in mid-twentieth century rural Wales who were successful at university. The participants’ constructions of their habitus and aspirations drew upon a number of themes that intersected with their ideas of Welsh culture. Images of Welsh culture, history and national identity played a significant role in their accounts. The participants’ ‘aspirational habitus’ involved a rich blend of images and symbolic resources and a sense that they had a right to be at university. This has implications for how we conceive of habitus and its role in guiding people from rural to largely urban intellectual cultures. The participants’ experiences were made possible by virtue of the isolation of their rural communities and the corresponding significance of their social milieu, which consolidated their value system by attaching considerable significance to educational achievement. Introduction his article uses Bourdieu’s notion of ‘habitus’ to illuminate a sense of national Tculture encouraging educational aspiration. This was done through exploring the narratives of 10 participants between the ages of 49 and 72 who grew up with disadvantage in rural Wales. Their biographies demonstrate how their sense of culture, history and national identity were bound up with their success at university. Previous work investigating people who were from disadvantaged groups who accessed higher education has deployed the concept of habitus (although that term is not always used) to illuminate the sense of difference felt when the students con- trasted their own backgrounds with the atmosphere encountered in higher education (Archer and Hutchings 2000; Reay 2004a). -
INTRODUCTION Spatiality, Movement and Place-Making
Introduction INTRODUCTION Spatiality, Movement and Place-Making Maruška Svašek• and Milena Komarova Vignette 1 As a young child, I had always loved visiting the city. A chance to wonder at the huge fanciful department stores filled with treasures. A chance to get a special treat of fish and chips or tea and cake. But one day that changed. The city was under attack. In the chaos we were forced into the path of the explosion. My senses were overwhelmed: the dull thud; the shattering glass propelling through the air before crashing to the ground; the screaming and shouting; and the sight of helpless policemen and shoppers trying to figure out what to do in all this chaos. I was uninjured but the encounter left its mark. My visits became less frequent and eventually stopped. (Reflection on ‘the Troubles’, Angela Mazzetti, 2016) Vignette 2 During my fieldwork in Belfast, one of the members of the women’s group told me how they bonded over everyday problems and supported each other. ‘When my daughter Kate was 19,’ she said, ‘the fella who she was with was an absolute dick. I remember speaking about her with the girls, in WLP. “Yes, yes, that’s terrible,” I said, “let me tell you what happened to my girl.”’ Talking about such things, Catholic and Protestant women found out that they had a lot in common. ‘You have the same problems,’ she explained; ‘There is just this underlying thing of Catholics and Protestants, 2 Maruška Svašek and Milena Komarova but it’s not of our making, and it’s not of their making’. -
Journal As Public Space3
Draft paper for Emergent Culture 6th midterm conference of the European Sociological Association Research Network on the Sociology of Culture, University of Exeter, 16-18 Nov. 2016. Space and Culture as critical practice and as space of culture Rob Shields University of Alberta [email protected] spaceandculture.com What does it mean to create a literary and public space, such as a journal, for reflecting on culture as itself a form of space? What are they as intellectual spaces? Perhaps because they exist as Prefaces and presentations, reflections by journal founders and editors are relatively difficult to trace in print. Bibliometrics substitutes numeric data for experience but tends to provide little new insight. In the early 1980s, White and Griffith (1982) showed the relevance of co-citations to create bibliometric clusters of topics and researchers. Beginning with editorial work assisted by Monica Degen in 1996, Space and Culture will attain its 20th year of publication in 2017. Joost Van Loon and Ian Roderick came on board as Editors. Thinking about the spatial evolved over these two decades into network and relational approaches. Journals such as Cultural Geography, Topia and many others were established and some have continued. Questions about particular spaces and places, projects and constructions have raised questions of not only continuity in relations, social and ethical forms but of breaks, bifurcations and crises points. To a certain extent, journals occupy a specific niche in the ecology and process of academic reporting and dialogue. The unique quality of this process is that it is simultaneously asynchronous and synchronous. Historically, journals, newsletters and magazines were sequential, epistolary communications to a specific group of subscribers and insiders who formed an audience and as such a collective. -
Poverty and Social Exclusion in Diversified Rural Contexts Josef Bernard Sandra Contzen Anja Decker Mark Shucksmith Rural Povert
Poverty and social exclusion in diversified rural contexts Josef Bernard Sandra Contzen Anja Decker Mark Shucksmith Rural poverty has received relatively little attention from scholars or publics in Europe over recent decades, often regarded as secondary to more visible urban poverty. The same holds true for research in the US, despite important contributions like Tickamyer et al. (2017). Lately, however, rural poverty and other manifestations of rural disadvantage gained unexpected prominence in public debates as an urgent and provocative issue, if only for its perceived role in generating political upheaval (see Krugman, Hank or Guilluy for example). Divergencies between rural and metropolitan electoral results, support of populism in rural areas and even the rise of protest movements in the countryside on both sides of the Atlantic have prompted a renewed interest in urban-rural disparities and rural feelings of inferiority and marginalisation - feelings described in detail in Wuthnow’s The Left Behind (2018). Despite the plausibility of such upheavals deriving from a growing divide between rural and metropolitan societies, this has yet to be supported by rigorous research. Strong evidence of a new dynamic of rural-urban polarisation as a source of growing rural grievance and resentment is still missingi. This lack is one of the reasons for preparing a special issue on rural poverty and exclusion. The other reason is that exactly 15 years ago, two important publications concerning rural poverty were published: a special issue of Sociologia Ruralis on social exclusion and Milbourne’s book Rural Poverty, Marginalisation and Exclusion in Britain and the United States (2004). Both publications summarised the state of the art and proposed new research directions, building on Shucksmith and Chapman (1998). -

Journal Rankings in Sociology
Journal Rankings in Sociology: Using the H Index with Google Scholar Jerry A. Jacobs1 Forthcoming in The American Sociologist 2016 Abstract There is considerable interest in the ranking of journals, given the intense pressure to place articles in the “top” journals. In this article, a new index, h, and a new source of data – Google Scholar – are introduced, and a number of advantages of this methodology to assessing journals are noted. This approach is attractive because it provides a more robust account of the scholarly enterprise than do the standard Journal Citation Reports. Readily available software enables do-it-yourself assessments of journals, including those not otherwise covered, and enable the journal selection process to become a research endeavor that identifies particular articles of interest. While some critics are skeptical about the visibility and impact of sociological research, the evidence presented here indicates that most sociology journals produce a steady stream of papers that garner considerable attention. While the position of individual journals varies across measures, there is a high degree commonality across these measurement approaches. A clear hierarchy of journals remains no matter what assessment metric is used. Moreover, data over time indicate that the hierarchy of journals is highly stable and self-perpetuating. Yet highly visible articles do appear in journals outside the set of elite journals. In short, the h index provides a more comprehensive picture of the output and noteworthy consequences of sociology journals than do than standard impact scores, even though the overall ranking of journals does not markedly change. 1 Corresponding Author; Department of Sociology and Population Studies Center, University of Pennsylvania, 3718 Locust Walk, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA; email: [email protected] Interest in journal rankings derives from many sources. -

Jensen1 Abstract This article argues for an understanding of public transit spaces as sites of multiple dynamic interactions. Much inspired by the approach of Erving Goffman, the article explore a “mobilized” understanding of some of his central concepts. The theoretical underpinning is the development of concepts related to interaction, mobility, and transit that focus on notions of the “mobile with,” “negotiation in motion,” “mobile sense making,” and “temporary congregations.” The theoretical approach aims at seeing public transit spaces as sites where cars, pedestrians, mopeds, and bikes on a regular basis “negotiate” not only routes in and across the space but also express dynamic flows of interaction in motion.
