“I don’t want to disturb her”: A youth citizen social science community case study on the school health services in Oslo, Norway
Introduction This study explores how youth can contribute as co-researchers in the development of school health services through a Youth Citizen Social Science (YCSS) approach. Despite strong policy support for user involvement, there is limited empirical knowledge on how Norwegian school health services incorporate the perspectives of youth. This pilot study forms part of the YouthPulse pilot project and investigates how young people conceptuali…
Towards scaling up, out and deep: Debriefing youth experiences of youth participatory action research and citizen social science
Youth encounter specific forms of epistemic injustice when they are invited to decision making and participatory processes. Our empirical outset is debriefing sessions with youth co-researchers based in Norway who have participated in numerous national and international Youth Participatory Action Research projects and Citizen Social Science projects over the past decade. Here the youth reflect on their role, purpose and competencies built, but al…

Scaling Feminist Activism: On Transnational and Transgenerational Activism in Iran and Among the Global Diasporas Before and After Jina Mahsa Amini
The continuous protests in the Islamic Republic of Iran since Jina Mahsi Amini's death in the fall of 2022 are challenging common perceptions of resistance, and even revolution. Through looking at the politics of maneuvering of both exiled feminists, activists, and young people in Iran, this essay highlights how their everyday strategies, practices and acts not only challenge censorship and oppression, but are also integral in the fight for the r…
To Exist is a Form of Resistance: Photography as Art Activism
Photography has long been associated with acts of resistance. In this interview, Sarah Allen, Head of Programme and co-curator of the exhibition Acts of Resistance: Photography, Feminisms and the Art of Protest at the South London Gallery, elaborates on the reasoning behind the show. The show includes works from 2012 to the present day, offering what The Guardian newspaper described as 'a visual manifesto of the fourth wave of feminism'. The artw…
Rebels in their own job: How digging into a municipal mystery turned invited youth participation in an urban planning process into uninvited activism
Youth participation has become an important mechanism in many aspects of society, research and democratic institutions and in urban planning specifically. Yet, the ideal of participation often collides with the realities of planning as practice. In this article, we outline the halting process of transforming an old villa owned by the municipality into a youth house, and how youth trained as co‐researchers transitioned from being invited participa…
Chasing balloons as scientific practice: On transformative cocreation and epistemic ethics of care in the emerging field of youth citizen social science
How does including youth in research within a citizen social science framework challenge and transform our participatory action research practices and approaches? Through a storying journey we unravel how the training and subsequent conducting of a co-creative research process with young citizen social scientists are evolving from a cacophony of traditions, approaches and disciplines, among them youth participatory action research, action researc…
“Magic through many minor measures”: How introducing a flowline production mode in six steps enables journalist team autonomy in local news organizations
While facing cuts, downsizing and revenue losses, media organizations experience paradoxical demands in being organized for print or linear production with daily deadlines and simultaneously striving to be ‘digital first’ and produce and publish stories online on a continuous basis throughout the day. In this paper, we describe efforts applied when introducing the metaphor flowline in a medium-sized newspaper organization in Norway with the aim o…
Architectural Anthropology: Exploring Lived Space
Images of Place, Secularity and Gentrification: On Urban Religious Belonging in an Inner City Neighbourhood in Oslo
Through extensive fieldwork conducted in an inner city neighbourhood in Oslo, Norway, the authors found that a variation of actors and settings evoked different religious and secular images of place. In what ways is the urban experience shaping or challenging the religious sense of spatial belonging, and why is a secular discourse dominating the scene? In order to obtain such images and sense of place in the context of a recently established area…

The Magic Trick of Creative Capital: Competition, Confidence, and Collective Enchantment Among “Starchitects”
Sketching with knives: Architects & the confidence theory of magic
Isn't gravity wonderful? That's the magic trick in a way'. The Malinowskian 'confidence theory of magic' (1935) points to how a person, through the ritual act, becomes empowered to believe he can master nature's obstacles, and thus become equipped to undertake tasks from which he would otherwise shrink. The relation between creativity, magic and professional confidence is investigated through ethnographic fieldwork in the internationally renowned…
Calling it a Crisis: Modes of Creative Labour and Magic in an Elite Architect Company
In recent years we have seen a resurfacing of magic as an analytical category in anthropological literature, with particular emphasis on modern forms of occultism and witchcraft. Magic has yet to prove itself a useful analytical tool within the anthropology of organizations, and this article aims at understanding everyday work processes through the concepts of myth and magic. The discussion is based on empirical data from an internationally accla…
