Project
Equilibrium Poems; An ethnographic study on how experiences in and with Norwegian friluftsliv challenge and nurture youths’ emotion work in everyday life.
This PhD. study seek an understanding of youth’s fight for and resistance against different forms of emotional belonging, both to places and people. The dissertation pursue new insights on urban minority youth and friluftsliv (a Norwegian term that defines certain ways of being in the outdoors, in terms of recreation and leisure) in Norway through a person-centered approach. This opens for a focus on the youths’ selves and their subjective meetings with friluftsliv, places and people. With the point of departure in participant observation, thus in “shared” experiences with the youth, I have employed the terms emotional belonging and social death. The terms grew out of and are visualized through analyzes of how youth struggle to make room for their own desires without breaking the social and moral codes laid down by people significant to them.
