“…Taking in consideration that the value and meaning of women's lives must be defined from their own point of view (McCann and Kim, 2016), this paper suggests mapping exercises as a way to investigate how women experience the city from within and spatially. Future investigations may consider ethnographic walks utilising apps combined with conversations carefully conducted so that they are not usurped by the presence of technology (Campbell, 2018).…”

This paper explores how innovative ways of mapping both the presence and the agency of contemporary women in cities may support the emergence of emancipatory placemaking perspectives and previously unrecorded narratives. It starts by proposing 'presency' as a new concept, merging the meaning of presence, as a mindful way of paying attention to life; and agency, as critical awareness of the context and capacity to act. It examines the pace of urbanisation of the world and the revisited role of women in their mediation of space and making of place including efforts to forge a new framework of regenerative urban development. It proposes different mapping approaches to capture a mosaic of regenerative practices led by women addressing how cities of present and future can be green and inclusive. It concludes by suggesting that the act of mapping spatially and 'from within' the way women experience and act in the city may unleash women's emancipatory place-making skills, moving cities systems up to higher orders of integrated expression.

“…Ez a felfogás a nemekről binárisan gondolkozik, és főleg a nemek reprodukcióban betöltött szerepét veszi alapul: mivel a nő szül gyereket, a férfi pedig erre nem képes, viszont nélküle az emberi reprodukció is sikertelen, a szerepek erősen meghatározottak és a klasszikus felfogás szerint nem átjárhatóak. Ezt nevezzük biológiai determinizmusnak (McCann-Kim 2003). Azonban napjainkban egyre elfogadottabban jelenik meg a gendertudományokban, hogy az emberek identitása és a társadalomban betöltött szociális szerepe egy összetett és hosszú szocializációs folyamat során alakul ki.…”

“…Understanding what groups stand for is therefore of great importance to a wide range of scholars in the social sciences. For instance, on the societal level, it allows political scientists, sociologists and psychologists better insight into social phenomena such as emerging political movements (e.g., Bednarek-Gilland, 2015 ; Van Bavel & Packer, 2021 ), shifts in power structures, national and international conflicts (McCann et al, 2020 ; Smith, 2021 ; Thome, 2015 ), the impact of groups on sustainability (Horcea-Milcu et al, 2019 ; Udall et al, 2020 ) and public health behaviours (Cruwys et al, 2020 ; Wakefield et al, 2019 ), radicalisation (Hogg, 2021 ; Smith et al, 2020 ), and group processes such as cohesion and social belonging (Buhrmester et al, 2018 ; Healy, 2019 ). On an organisational level, the alignment between employees’ values and the values held by the company or specific work teams has been shown to affect positive working outcomes including productivity and work satisfaction (Chung, 2017 ; van Knippenberg & Hogg, 2018 ).…”

Collective self-understanding: A linguistic style analysis of naturally occurring text data

et al. 2022

Understanding what groups stand for is integral to a diverse array of social processes, ranging from understanding political conflicts to organisational behaviour to promoting public health behaviours. Traditionally, researchers rely on self-report methods such as interviews and surveys to assess groups’ collective self-understandings. Here, we demonstrate the value of using naturally occurring online textual data to map the similarities and differences between real-world groups’ collective self-understandings. We use machine learning algorithms to assess similarities between 15 diverse online groups’ linguistic style, and then use multidimensional scaling to map the groups in two-dimensonal space (N=1,779,098 Reddit comments). We then use agglomerative and k-means clustering techniques to assess how the 15 groups cluster, finding there are four behaviourally distinct group types – vocational, collective action (comprising political and ethnic/religious identities), relational and stigmatised groups, with stigmatised groups having a less distinctive behavioural profile than the other group types. Study 2 is a secondary data analysis where we find strong relationships between the coordinates of each group in multidimensional space and the groups’ values. In Study 3, we demonstrate how this approach can be used to track the development of groups’ collective self-understandings over time. Using transgender Reddit data (N= 1,095,620 comments) as a proof-of-concept, we track the gradual politicisation of the transgender group over the past decade. The automaticity of this methodology renders it advantageous for monitoring multiple online groups simultaneously. This approach has implications for both governmental agencies and social researchers more generally. Future research avenues and applications are discussed.
