I artiklen inddrages forskellige materialer og teorier til at belyse det specielle ved "madpakken". Madpakken og dens format har været næsten uændret fra den blev etableret og til nu, hvilket siger noget om dens funktionalitet. Madpakken er en integreret del af familiens dagligliv og belyser madklassifikation og måltidskultur. Samtidig er madpakken symbol på den enkelte families kultur, idet madpakken tilpasses og tilberedes i den enkelte familie. I madpakken udtrykkes smagspræferencer og identitet. Samtidig er madpakken speciel, fordi den spises et andet sted, end den tilberedes, i en anden kulturel kontekst; børnehaven eller skolen. Madpakken bliver således bærer af familiens forbundethed og symbol på familien. En familie, hvis ansvarsområder er under forandring. Netop fordi madpakken smøres i én sammenhæng for at blive spist i en anden og institutionel sammenhæng gør, at der er forskellige aktører: familien, institutionspersonale, medier og politikere, som alle har forskellige holdninger til, hvordan madp kken bør være, eller hvad den kunne erstattes med, og netop i sammenstødet mellem disse holdninger fremstår madpakkens symbolværdi.

How is law as both a set of standards of conduct and a way of reasoning related to politics, economy and culture? The approach to the problem taken in the paper is practical and instrumental rather than theoretical for its own sake. The aim is to appraise the subject-matter with a view of facilitating its change towards the basic values of the inquiry. Since the values are postulated by a stipulative definition of law, which implies relations of law to politics, economy and even culture, it may appear that the approach unduly trivializes rather than solves the problem. The approach may nonetheless be valid, if the stipulated definition of law is sufficiently integral, that is, inclusive. To that end the paper attempts to integrate into the stipulated definition of law three major philosophical traditions, which are still building blocks of -- and hence the keys to -- contemporary doctrines and cultures. In the classical (ontological) key (which is analysed in the first part of the paper) law is conceived of as a constituting and correcting aspect of the whole consisting of politics, economy, law and religion qua centerpiece of culture. In the modem (epistemological) key (analysed in the second part of the paper) ideas of law range from the conceptions that law is the constituent of modem social systems and hence an indispensable means of identifying modem social phenomena to the theories that law, as well as politics, economy and culture, is a phenomenon reducible to its natural causes. In the contemporary (linguistic) key (also in the second part) law, which is the constituent even of religion, can be understood only from within of the culture -- including politics and economy -- into which it is woven. The three traditions differ most markedly in their views of the contact between reason and action. In contrast to the classical tradition, which recognizes that reason can be action-guiding, reason and action are in the epistemological key separated by a logical gap, whereas in the linguistic key they are hardly distinguishable. The triple solution of the problem of inquiry increases both heuristic and practical potentials of the stipulated definition of law. By integrating diverse philosophical traditions, the definition is serviceable to the integrity of a pluralistic legal order, that is, to achieving the postulated basic values within the limits of the law. However, the approach taken in the paper, while more inclusive than more partisan approaches, is still merely an approach which is in the final analysis also partisan. Moreover, when seen from a culture that has not been integrated by the definition, the approach may be parochial or even inimical. Adapted from the source document.

I denne artikel analyserer vi sammenhængen mellem økonomisk, kulturel og social kapital inden for og mellem to generationer af danskere født omkring 1930 og 1954. Vi analyserer data fra Ungdomsforløbsundersøgelsen og benytter konfirmativ faktoranalyse til at konstruere latente variable for de tre kapitalformer i begge generationer. Analysen viser, for det første, at der i begge generationer er en markant sammenhæng mellem respondenternes beholdning af økonomisk, kulturel og social kapital, og at dette mønster gælder for begge generationer. Med andre ord: Materielle og immaterielle ressourcer er stærkt sammenvævede i det danske samfund. For det andet viser analysen, at de relative beholdninger af de tre kapitalformer i høj grad "nedarves" fra forældre til børn. Med andre ord: Der er en stærk social arv af både materielle og immaterielle ressourcer.

Søgeord: Økonomisk kapital, kulturel kapital, social kapital, Bourdieu, social reproduktion, konfirmativ faktoranalyse.

ENGELSK ABSTRACT:

Kristian Bernt Karlson and Mads Meier Jæger: Coffers, Culture and Contacts: Economic, Cultural and Social Capital in Two Generations

This paper analyzes the distribution of economic, cultural, and social capital within and between two generations of Danes born around 1930 and 1954. We analyze data from the Danish Longitudinal Survey of Youth and use confirmatory factor analysis to construct latent variables which capture the different types of capital in both generations. Our analysis shows that, first, within each generation there is a strong correlation between the different types of capital. This result indicates a close relationship between economic and non-economic resources in Denmark. Second, we find high intergenerational correlations between the amount of economic, cultural, and social capital possessed by parents and children. This result indicates a surprisingly high degree of intergenerational capital transmission.

Key words: Economic capital, cultural capital, social capital, Bourdieu, social reproduction, confirmatory factor analysis.

Denne artikel tager afsæt i den aktuelle sociologiske og offentlige diskussion om offentlige byrum og præsenterer nyere og i dansk sammenhæng stort set ukendte bidrag fra den strømning i fransk sociologi, der betegnes som "den pragmatiske vending". Artiklen har to hovedpointer. For det første at den pragmatiske bysociologi kan bidrage til denne diskussion ved at beskrive og fremhæve betydningen af de oftest upåagtede og dagligdags kompetencer, ved hjælp af hvilke byboere skaber sociale overenskomster og fredelig sameksistens på offentlige steder i socialt og kulturelt differentierede byer. For det andet at bysociologien ifølge de pragmatiske sociologer ikke kan standse ved analyser af segregation, ghettodannelser og lokale fællesskabers tilegnelser af territorier. "At tænke byen" indebærer at bevæge sig videre til også at undersøge de byrumsmæssige design og trafikale forbindelser og passageveje, der skaber sammenhængen i det urbane væv og tillader byboeren at overvinde fremmedheden på et ikke fortroligt territorium.


ENGELSK ABSTRACT:

Martin Severin Frandsen: Rediscovering Urban Culture and Public Space: On Isaac Joseph and the Pragmatic Turn in French Urban Sociology

This article analyses current sociological and public discussions concerning public urban spaces, and introduces new (and in a Danish context largely unknown) contributions from the movement in French sociology that has been labelled "the pragmatic turn". The article makes two main arguments. Firstly, the pragmatic urban sociology can contribute to these discussions by highlighting the importance of the often unnoticed and everyday civilities through which city-dwellers create social agreements and peaceful co-existence in public places in socially and culturally heterogeneous cities. Secondly, urban sociology cannot, according to the pragmatic sociologists, stop with inquiries into segregation, ghettos and local populations appropriations of territories. Imagining the city implies moving on to explore the designs of public spaces and public transit systems that create continuity and mobility in urban agglomerations and allow city-dwellers to overcome the strangeness of unfamiliar territories.
