This paper examines the (collective) performance of identities in an event context. During events, the participants not only engage in face-to-face performances, but also in the collective performances of crowds and audiences. This study analyses collective performance using Collins’ framework of Interaction Ritual Chains, which combines Goffman’s performance metaphor with Durkheim’s work on rituals and collective effervescence. This provides a more complete analysis of the ways identities are performed and (re)constructed during an event. This qualitative study presents the case of the Redhead Days, the world’s largest gathering of redheads. Visitor interviews and participant observation over four editions of the event show how a temporary majority of redheads is created, which greatly impacts both face-to-face and collective performance. Social practices that facilitate performance include photographing and storytelling. The data reveal that collective performance is inherently different from face-to-face performance, and that the combination of the two contributes to a change in narrative identities of the event attendees

Purpose: Self-managed institutional homeless programmes started as an alternative to regular shelters. Using institutional theory as a lens, we aim to explore the experiences of stakeholders with the institutional aspects of a self-managed programs.Method: The data we analysed (56 interviews, both open and semi-structured) were generated in a longitudinal participatory case-study into JES, a self-managed homeless shelter. In our analysis we went back and forth between our empirical data and theory, using a combination of systematic coding and interpretation. Participants were involved in all stages of the research.Results: Our analysis revealed similarities between JES and regular shelters, stemming from institutional similarities. Participants shared space and facilities with sixteen people, which caused an ongoing discussion on (enforcement of) rules. Participants loathed lack of private space. However, participants experienced freedom of choice over both their own life and management of JES and structures were experienced more fluid than in regular care. Somestructures also appeared stimulated self-management.Conclusion: Our analysis showed how an institutional context influences self-management and suggested opportunities for introducing freedom and fluidity in institutional care.

Lectorale rede van Wilma Swildens, uitgesproken op maandag 29 maart 2021: De zorg voor mensen met ernstige psychische problemen in Nederland speelde zich het grootste deel van de vorige eeuw voornamelijk af in grote, meestal afgezonderde psychiatrische ziekenhuizen (Gijswijt-Hofstra, 2005). Zelf was ik al jong regelmatig op ziekenhuisterreinen te vinden omdat mijn beide ouders als psychiater in zo’n instelling werkten. Bij wijze van alternatieve kinderopvang ging ik mee naar het werk en later werkte ik er als vakantiehulp in de verpleging. Patiënten verbleven in paviljoens en recreatieruimtes en werkten soms in ploegen aan productiewerk. De negatieve gevolgen van het leven in deze gemeenschap voor de opgenomen mensen, beschreven door Goffman (1961), waren goed zichtbaar. Pas vanaf de jaren zeventig kwamen er steeds meer moderne units waar mensen gesprekstherapieën kregen, en creatieve of sociotherapie. Sinds het einde van de twintigste eeuw is de-institutionalisering of ambulantisering het credo (Kroon et al., 2019). Het nieuwe ideaal is leven in de samenleving met de benodigde zorg toegankelijk en nabij: wijkgerichte zorg. In Nederland zou het echter nog een tijd duren voordat echt tempo werd gemaakt met het afbouwen van intramurale voorzieningen. Pas sinds enkele jaren trad hierin een aanzienlijke versnelling op.

Justitiële jeugdinrichtingen zijn volop bezig met de invoering van de methodiek Youturn. Joep Hanrath plaatst kanttekeningen bij de optimistische toon die met de invoering gepaard gaat. Hoe moeten groepsleiders gedrag van jongeren duiden? Dat gedrag is sterk afhankelijk van de situatie, betoogt Hanrath aan de hand van microsociologische verklaringen

Promotieonderzoek naar het werk van groepsleiders in Justitiële Jeugdinrichtingen. De vraag is hoe groepsleiders de orde op de leefgroep vormgeven en of dit een verklaringsgrond is voor de beperkte recidivevermindering. Centraal in dit onderzoek staat het handelen van de groepsleider i.c. pedagogische medewerker, één van de sociale professionals binnen een breed forensisch domein.

This paper introduces the Analysis Framework of Face Interaction (AFFI) which is developed based on a new face dimension termed Face Confirmation − Face Confrontation at two levels: Individual level within the group and Collective level between groups. This proposed framework of face analysis reveals a dearth of research on face confrontation as essential communication strategies. It also points out how the mainstream research on facework has been limited on the collective level of analysis. The authors argue that using AFFI will help researchers reduce cultural over-generalisation; enable them to involve more specific cultural, contextual and situational characteristics of each face case to analyse face negotiation from a more holistic perspective.

This article explores the integration of a co-mentoring scheme within the participatory music practice of Meaningful Music in Healthcare (MiMiC) in Dutch medical hospitals. Building upon prior research that revealed a shared aspiration among MiMiC musicians and nurses to enhance collaborative efforts, the study explores the role of interprofessional collaboration not only for the immediate impact of music on people in the hospital environment but also for nurturing the sustained growth of the professionals involved. This article explores the implications and outcomes of a co-mentoring scheme, which took place in the form of reflective conversations between participating musicians and nurses, and examine their form, the relationships they foster within the MiMiC practice, and their contribution to interprofessional collaboration in transdisciplinary arts and health practices.
