... The idea of general laws and metatheory is not possible in social sciences. Lack of the capacity of generalization, of the convergence of multiple paradigms, of the relationship between the theory and practice and too much human subjectivity is the beauty of social sciences (Fiske & Shweder, 1986). Contextualism and hermeneutics play important role in the domain of social sciences. ...

... Peers, their families, and administrators create and perpetuate social norms that all members of the community are expected to adhere to, despite the vast gap in access to financial resources (Horvat & Antonio, 1999). This can result in feelings of alienation and exclusion (Holland, 2012), with students taking on specific roles in their schools, or relying on code-switching, to navigate challenging environments (Kramer, 2008;Zweigenhaft & Domhoff, 1993). ...

... Drawing upon Bourdieu's sociological framework of field and capital, this study analyzes the power dynamics within the Chinese academic field, particularly in light of the recent research evaluation reform. For Bourdieu, a field represents a structured social space governed by its own set of rules, hierarchies, and practices, where individuals strive to accumulate different forms of capital to gain power and influence (Bourdieu & Wacquant, 1992). Unlike traditional institutional analysis, which often assumes consensus and shared goals, Bourdieu emphasizes the conflictual nature of fields (Swartz, 1997). ...

... In the post-Second World War years, class had indeed become an analytical tool -employed by observers both on the left and the right -for trying to understand and explain social and political patterns in the capitalist economies of the West. 6 But the very origins of this debate of course go back to the well-known Marx-Weber dialogue in the literature on social class (see Antonio and Glassman, 1985;Wiley, 1987). According to Karl Marx, the class structure of the capitalist system comprised the bourgeois owners of the means of production and the proletariat who sold their labor. ...

... Likvärdighet med koppling till jämlikhet Begreppet likvärdighet fick successivt en alltmer framträdande plats i skolpolitiken under andra halvan av 1970-talet och början av 1980-talet (Bergström 1993, Englund & Quennerstedt 2008, Millares 2015, och en uttolkning av likvärdighet låg då nära betydelser som ryms inom begreppet jämlikhet; ett begrepp som i sig rymmer flera olika möjliga betydelser (Baker 1987, Dworkin 2000, Rae 1981). Kärnan inom en jämlikhetskonception brukar inom politisk teoretisk forskning utmejslas med hjälp av uttryck som 'jämlikhet i möjligheter' eller 'reellt lika möjligheter' (Barry 2005, Bergström 1993, Hadenius 1990, Millares 2015. ...

Through the visualization of the restoration process (such as display boards on polluted soil treatment), this spatial design not only improves the environment but also narrates Shougang's transformation from an "industrial rust belt" to an "ecological show belt", endowing the space with a narrative dimension of environmental ethics. The spatial dimension narrative analysis of each scenic spot in Shougang is drawn into a table (see Table 4) for the next analysis [24]. ...

... Deuxièmement, les migrants antérieurs fournissent souvent aux futurs migrants une aide à la recherche d'emploi ou de logement (Grossman, 1991). Enfin, les migrants antérieurs réduisent le coût de l'adaptation à l'environnement, la culture ou la langue étrangère (Marks, 1989). Tous ces éléments suggèrent que le coût de l'installation dans une région est moindre lorsqu'il existe un réseau établi de migrants antérieurs. ...

... The underground economy is a critical infrastructure of survival in poor communities. Drug dealing is an essential part of financial sustenance for some economically marginalized inhabitants who rely on it for steady income, or to supplement legal pursuits (Bourgois 1995;Chomczyński et al. 2019;Curtis 1998;Konove 2018;Venkatesh 2006;Wacquant 2007;Williams 1989). In some cases, underclass residents develop strategies of survival that integrate drug dealing into the social organization of poor neighborhoods (Duck 2015). ...
