Facilitating and hindering factors of personal recovery in the context of Soteria—A qualitative study among people with (early episode) psychosis
In addition to the literature that identified factors associated with PR in psychosis, the current study gives a sense of how this can be put into practice. By offering treatment within a normalizing, holding environment, with emphasis on equality, close contact, optimism, active structured days, open-mindedness toward spirituality, and the role of medication, PR can be facilitated without detracting from guideline-based treatment aimed at sympto…
Excluding citizens from the European smart city: The discourse practices of pursuing and granting smartness
This article conceptualises the European smart city as an assemblage of peripheral smart city network practices and central smart city project practices. Both practices are primarily geared towards the pursuit of ‘smartness’, a prestigious urban adjective that, in the European context, often means receiving an award or large grant from Europe. This article focuses on smart city projects that received European funding, and explores why, how and wi…
The Muslims are coming”: The enactment of morality in activist Muslim comedy
In the context of the many and persistent Islam controversies, we investigate how activist Muslim comedy aims to unite Muslims and non-Muslims. To this purpose and to further current research and theory on humor functions, we develop a morality-based analytic framework that demonstrates the social potentials of humor. We propose to approach humor as engendering moral appeals that function as sign posts, indicating to audiences whom they ought to …
Anti-Islam Propaganda and Its Effects
In 2008, a short Dutch anti-Islam propaganda movie called Fitna caused global public outrage and a brief media storm. Such attention is generally considered undesirable ‘mediahype’ that increases the number of people that will view the film and thus potentially also its societal impact. In this article, however, we present a theoretical model that suggests that extensive media coverage may, in some cases, actually serve to diminish the impact of …
How Funny Can Islam Controversies Be? Comedians Defending Their Faiths on YouTube
We analyze whether humor can release some of the tension in Islam controversies and open up new directions for dialogue. We do so in the context of Dahlgren’s civic cultures framework, asking whether humor can be a civic practice and how it is articulated with value conflicts. We examine the features of the humor performed in two comic vlogs on YouTube and the sentiments these vlogs evoked among their viewers. In one vlog, the comedy calls for in…
Internet Use and Political Participation: Reflections on the Mobilization/Normalization Controversy
Web-based and theoretical studies often claim that Internet use can mobilize political participation, while survey-based studies generally conclude that Internet use will normalize political participation. This article aims to offer some reflections on the discrepancies between these mobilization and normalization theses. The authors argue that mobilization claims tend to focus on manifestations online in specific cases, whereas normalization the…
Beyond the Online/Offline Divide: How Youth’s Online and Offline Civic Activities Converge
In this article, the authors investigate whether and how young people combine online and offline civic activities in modes of participation. The authors discuss four participation modes in which online and offline activities may converge: Politics, Activism, Consumption, and Sharing. Applying confirmatory factor analysis to survey data about the civic participation among Dutch youth (aged 15−25 years; N = 808), the authors find that online and of…
