“…Social research today typically focuses on the micro or the macro level. A key task for case‐based research is to link the two domains, which are, after all, enmeshed in each other within everyday life (Hodgetts, Drew, et al, ). This is important because cases exist in contexts, which move out like overlapping waves in a pool from the local to the broader society and its various institutions.…”

“…A core goal of case‐based research, as we are presenting it, is to contribute to current scholarly knowledge, while also searching for practical solutions to societal issues. Case studies allow us to conduct more in‐depth and less exploitative research engagements with research ‘participants’ rather than on ‘subjects’ (Hodgetts, Drew, et al, ); to witness and contextualise changes and developments in people's lives. The acknowledgment, and valuing, of the tacit knowledge and expertise of the researchers, participants, and users of case studies reflects a dialectical view of knowledge generation (Billig, ), and its democratising potential (Robinson & Norris, ).…”

Cases are highly prevalent in teaching and practice in psychology. Case‐based research is crucial for engaged and relevant community and applied social psychologies, but is often subject to critique. This editorial responds to such critiques, clarifies various misconceptions regarding this research strategy, and argues for the utility of case‐based research. We explore the theoretical basis and implications of case‐based research for community action and participative interventions. This special issue offers a collection of articles that showcase the use of a range of methods in case‐based research. Contributions include: (i) a conceptual argument regarding the logic of case studies; (ii) a single‐person case study; (iii) a group‐level case study; (iv) a multi‐site case study, (v) a reflection on challenges of participative research, using the action‐researcher as the case. These contributions demonstrate how the use of exemplars is crucial for community and applied social psychologists developing knowledge about social issues in complex and diverse societies, with a view to improving the human condition.

“…Taken‐for‐granted daily practices provide a focus for exploring how older Chinese migrants build and continue their connections with communities both in New Zealand and in China to reveal a sense of transnational connectedness. This is particularly apparent in the use of media to stay in contact and to engage in regular interactions with significant others residing in often distant places (Hodgetts et al, ). In focusing on such processes, we extend existing knowledge of successful ageing across local and transnational community settings.…”

Multiple Senses of Community Among Older Chinese Migrants to New Zealand

Existing literature suggests that successful ageing is linked to a sense of community (SOC) that is developed through shared daily practices. For migrant groups, SOC can extend across home and receiving countries. In order to understand the issue of successful ageing in place and multiple SOCs among older Chinese migrants, this paper investigated 32 older Chinese migrants' narratives of developing a SOC in their local and home communities. Findings suggest that a SOC can be viewed as constructed through practices such as neighbouring and supportive interactions within local contexts as well as engagement with the home country via new media. The findings provide insights into everyday practices central to the cultivation of a SOC among the participants whose engagements span the cultural spaces of China and New Zealand. For example, the use of media contributes to the participants' SOCs both in China and New Zealand. As a result, they live in a transnational community that can be understood as an ‘imagined’ community where the participants engage with significant, although absent, Chinese others. Living between China and New Zealand, between homes and between languages, the participants create identity ‘inbetweenness’ that is constructed at the intersection of interdependent, compatible and mutually reinforcing communities and spaces. The findings therefore extend conventional understandings of ageing migrant experiences that assume successful ageing and community participation occur in one locale to an understanding of multiple SOCs within the context of transnationalism.

“…Neither the media, nor advertising is a 'neutral' channel within which information flows. In today's world of such a plethora of technology, shared experience and communication, Hodgetts et al (2010) discuss how the media can operate to reaffirm our trust or distrust of people and things. Our lives are understood through socially constructed frameworks that provide us with meaning and, therefore, 'the media are central to the definition of how common knowledge is created' (Hodgetts et al, 2010, p. 326).…”

This paper examines the representations of animals in advertisements on prime-time television in New Zealand as a route to explore the manner in which nonhuman animals are incorporated into our daily lives. The discussion is based on close reading of advertisements that draws attention to the everyday manipulation and representation of nonhuman subjects. In focusing on the seemingly banal medium of advertisements, we interrogate the subtle and less than subtle transformations of animal subjectivity and the manner in which these articulate broader discourses around gender and nature in relation to human and nonhuman agents. In this way, we highlight the critical nature of decentring the human from the privileged position within both nature and society. We argue then that gender, anthropomorphism and the placement of animals in everyday media such as television advertisements play an important role in constituting the meaning and limits of how we relate to nonhuman life. In this regard, the arguments have significance not only for the field of animal geographies but also for a future in which animals are seen as more than just food or pets.Médiatisation des géographies animales: symbolisme, manipulation et imaginaire dans la publicité Cet article examine les représentations d'animaux dans les publicités aux heures de grande écoute à la télévision en Nouvelle Zélande de fac on à explorer la manière dont les animaux non humains sont incorporés dans notre vie de tous les jours. La discussion s'appuie sur l'examen détaillé de publicités qui attirent l'attention sur la manipulation et la représentation quotidienne de sujets non humains. En mettant l'accent sur le moyen de communication apparemment banal de la publicité, nous questionnons les transformations subtiles et moins que subtiles de la subjectivité animale et la fac on dont elles expriment un discours plus vaste sur le genre et la nature par rapport aux agents humains et non humains. Ainsi, nous mettons en évidence la nature essentielle de la décentralisation de l'humain d'un point de vue privilégié dans le cadre, à la fois, de la nature et de la société. Nous soutenons ensuite que le genre, l'anthropomorphisme et le placement des animaux dans les media de tous les jours tels que les publicités à la télévision jouent un rôle important dans la constitution du sens et des limites de nos rapports à la vie non humaine. A cet égard, les arguments ont de l'importance non seulement dans le domaine des géographies animales mais aussi pour un avenir où les animaux sont considérés comme étant plus que juste de la nourriture ou des animaux familiers.
