The purpose of this article is to examine how media-generated professional identities in the culinary sector are reflected in Danish male cookery students' narratives about their own identity, experiences and expectations about the trade. Hence, this study takes its starting point in studies that show how the broad popularity of the culinary profession -almost exclusively through male chefsseems to be attracting more male students to the cooking programme. The previous research indicates, however, that there is a risk of unfulfilled expectations when cookery students realise the hard work involved in working in a professional kitchen. It is this contrast between the media presentation and the practical reality of a profession like cookery that we wish to explore from the students' perspective. IntroductionThe purpose of this article is to examine how media-generated professional identities in the culinary sector are reflected in the narratives of male catering trainees about their own identity, experiences and expectations of the trade. It contributes to other ongoing studies of the role of celebrity in informing young people's classed and gendered aspirations in complex ways (e.g. Allen and Mendick 2013). However, rather than a broad focus on more ubiquitous types of celebrity aspirations (pop stars, actors and royal personages), we introduce a focus on specific celebrity associations for vocational trainees.This study therefore takes its starting point from research that has shown how the broad popularity of the culinary profession -almost exclusively represented through male chefs in Denmark -seems to be attracting more male trainees to catering programmes (Friche 2010). Previous research indicates, however, that there is a risk of unfulfilled expectations when catering trainees realise the hard work involved in working in a professional kitchen. It is this contrast between the media portrayal and the practical reality of a profession like cookery that we wish to explore from the trainees' perspective.The purpose of the article is twofold: first, to identify celebrity chefs as accessible figures of professional chef identities that constitute part of the context to which male catering trainees must relate (Bureychak 2012); and second, to examine how

Through anthropological fieldwork among people with severe mental health disorders, this article focuses on these service users’ interactions and relations with the professionals and with other service users at recovery-oriented housing facilities in Denmark. We discuss how recovery-oriented spaces designed for the service users may feel out of reach to them, hence making the service users feel awkward and reluctant to participate. The study shows how service users, initially recognized as “unengaged,” rather are to be understood as active actors involved in their recovery and forming social bonds. The research seeks to put forward new perspectives on recovery as a concept in psychosocial rehabilitation, arguing that recovery and healing may take up different forms in different spaces and that recognizing services users’ enactment of reluctancy and disengagements could serve as an important part of recovery work in rehabilitation.

ResumeGennem empiriske nedslag undersøger artiklen, hvordan kvinder på socialpædagogiske bosteder, oplever at skulle tilkæmpe sig ønskede positioner i deres liv og hvordan deres blikke på dem selv og deres udvikling er sammenfiltret og påvirket af de gængse og strukturerende diagnose- og kønsopfattelser de mødes af. Artiklens analyser illustrerer, hvordan både køn og psykiatriske diagnoser går forud for kvinderne og fortæller historier om, hvem de er og hvad de kan med deres liv, før de selv når frem. Et fokus på de ressourcer der ligger gemt i de forskellige former for modstand, strategier og navigationer kvinder gør brug af, samt et blik for de forskellige kontekster kvinderne er en del af – er relevant for det pædagogiske felt. Dels fordi det peger på, at diagnoser og psykisk sygdom ikke må stå alene, men også bør forstås som rimelige reaktioner på urimelige kontekster. Dels, fordi et fokus på kvindernes modstandsstrategier og navigationer viser, at de ikke er passive modtager af pædagogiske indsatser, men aktive medskabere af de kategorier, de mødes af og med. AbstractYoung women at psychosocial housing facilities – negotiations and navigations across diagnoses and genderThrough empirical extracts, this article examines how women in psychosocial housing facilities experience a need to fight for desired positions in their lives and how their view of themselves and their development is entangled and influenced by the common and structuring diagnosis and gender perceptions they encounter. The article illustrates how both gender and psychiatric diagnoses precede them and tell stories about who they are and what they are able do with their lives. A focus on the resources that are hidden in the different forms of resistance, strategies, and navigations that these women make use of, as well as a look at the different contexts that the women are a part of – is highly relevant for the pedagogical field. Partly because it indicates that diagnoses and mental illness cannot stand alone, but should also sometimes be understood as reasonable reactions to unreasonable contexts. Partly because a focus on the women’s resistance, strategies and navigations shows that they are not passive recipients of pedagogical efforts, but active co-creators of the categories they meet from time to time.

Hverdagen er for de fleste af os fyldt med gentagelser og rutiner, som er så selvfølgelige for os, at de næsten bliver usynlige. Vi spiser den samme morgenmad. I fællesskab eller alene. Interagerer med teknologier som smartphones og iPads uden at tænke videre over det. Går i skole eller på job, snakker med nogen og ikke med andre. I antologien Pædagogisk antropologi. Tilgange og begreber zoomer en række af Danmarks mest etablerede pædagogisk antropologiske forskere ind på det hverdagslige og selvfølgelige og på, hvordan den pædagogiske antropologi med sine mangerettede og komplekse empiriske og teoretiske tilgange har øje for dét, der ofte er umærkeligt og usynligt og derfor kan skabe nye indsigter og indblik i kulturer og samfund.
