Liminalitet og appropriering
Både sosialantropologi og sosialt arbeid er opptatt av det som skjer i praksis mellom individer og samfunnsmessige og kulturelle prosesser som virker inn på sosialt samspill. Sosialt arbeid har mål om å motarbeide marginalisering og diskriminering av utsatte grupper. Endring av personers hverdagslivsbetingelser er et hovedanliggende. I artikkelen diskuterer vi hvordan begrepene appropriasjon og liminalitet kan anvendes for å avdekke diskrimineren…
Negotiating embodied knowledge in the transition to adulthood
This article discusses conditions of how the rights to participation of three young adults with disabilities are not fully used early in the transition to adulthood. Their stories, collected through life mode interviews, serve as examples of ‘underused rights’ and dilution of citizenship. In recounting their embodied experiences, these young adults emphasized the importance of being aware of the kind of support they needed to continue participati…
Decision‐Making in Paediatric Rehabilitation
The article explores the distinction that professionals make between difficult and less difficult decisions in paediatric rehabilitation interventions. This distinction is explored by looking at the involvement of two children in decisions regarding paediatric rehabilitation interventions. The article argues for a clinical practice where children's experiences are extensively used to improve practice and to accommodate the child's right to partic…

Using a life-mode interview, we gathered data from the mother of a boy with (dis)ability. Using a narrative approach to analysis, we focused on sport as an occupation and interpreted its meaning within a broader socio-cultural context of sports occupations. The boy’s experience and his interactive play are understood through the lens o…

This article describes and analyses three children’s experiences of taking part in consultations at a paediatric rehabilitation unit in Norway. The analyses focus on how the children express themselves through social life experiences during the consultation. It is discussed how the children apply their embodied knowledge and experience in identifying themselves as normal, and what challenges this identification during a consultation. The analyses…
The role of objects in understanding children's participation in paediatric rehabilitation
This article will present a consultation with a nine-year-old boy, his parents and professionals at a paediatric rehabilitation unit in Norway. The empirical case illustrates how the boy's participation appears when toys and equipment is used, and also when the conversation proceeds during the consultation. The case is analysed by investigating the child's participation through how the interaction between the different persons takes shape, and ho…
