To me this piece stands for "The Pedagogy of Graffiti". "Pedagogy of Hip-Hop Graffiti" is a chapter by Janis Rahn (2002)from her book Painting without permission. Her point is basically what the grand father of space, time & rhythm meant by; "This refers to the needs for creative activity, for the oeuvre (not only of products and consumable material goods), of the need for information, symbolism, the imaginary and play" (Lefebvre 2006:147); on the issue of The Right To The City + and Rights in general).

Youth and Urbanity in Greenland – interpreting the city: visions, skills and creativity is a PhD dissertation which examines a particular aspect of contemporary life in Greenland’s second largest town, Sisimiut. Elaborated by ten case studies, young people’s perception and dynamic use of urban settings is set to raise a number of important perspectives on both the present and future elements of urbanity in Sisimiut - the pulse of young people’s visions, skills and creativity, embedded in daily practices in urban space, in both the city and the surrounding country. Given the fact that young citizens in Sisimiut act on the cutting edge, signifying the city's future, this dissertation argues that young people’s continuous input to the city is helping to create an effective voice in the ongoing negotiations of urban resources. The voice of young men and women in Sisimiut encompasses body-centered performative actions, symbolic representations of space, as well as narratives of private and public responsibilities related to localities. In the ten case studies, social and narrative spaces are analyzed in connection with activities such as motocross, trial cycling, skate- and snowboarding, in B-boying, in youth clubs, a work camp and hiking, a short movie about a young man and women living in Sisimiut, an art exhibition and tech-reports about leisure.

Empirically, the dissertation is based on anthropological fieldwork conducted in 2006 and 2007. A number of individual informants between ages 15 to 24 years were continuously observed. Additional data has been collected through questionnaires, formal and group interviews, and participant observations in a wide range of contexts. Apart from fieldwork in both institutional and non-institutional settings, the dissertation presents data generated through action anthropology, as well as disseminating the study process in new media.

Theoretically, the dissertation is founded in an interdisciplinary approach to agency in activity venues, a critical realist theory of interplay between actors and structures, reflexivity and finally, a significant input in examining youth and urbanity in Sisimiut is the perspective of rhythmanalysis. Intensity, seen as an essential rhythm of young people’s engagement with urban settings, is argued to affect both the energy and willpower of the young people to the whole community. Finally, there is a particular rhythm found in the data, namely in the youth activities accentuation of how action reinforces the path to success - new openings and opportunities in terms of the future, yet unknown city.

Examining Evidence for Autonomy and Relatedness in Urban Inuit Parenting
McShane et al. Culture Psychology.2009; 15: 411-431
Read here: (need SAGE access)

Inuit have experienced significant lifestyle changes in the past 50 years. Most recently, urbanization has resulted in greater numbers of Inuit living in urban centres in southern Canada. Little is known about Inuit parenting, and nothing has been published on Inuit parenting in an urban context. The present study sought to address this gap by describing the parenting of Inuit living in a large Canadian city and examining emergent themes for evidence of autonomy and relatedness. In partnership with the Tungasuvvingat Inuit Family Resource Centre, 39 Inuit parents completed an interview about their parenting experiences. Based on interviews, major parenting themes included: child characteristics; parenting behaviours and beliefs; affection and love; stressors; and responsive and respectful parenting. The majority of parenting themes linked to relatedness, although there was evidence of autonomy in both parenting behaviours and child characteristics. Results are interpreted in light of the autonomy—relatedness framework and theoretical implications of findings are discussed.

Urban Aboriginal Peoples Study

2010-04-08T05:43:00.012-02:00

The Urban Aboriginal Peoples Study - 5 minutes - from UAPS on Vimeo.

The Full Report: http://uaps.twg.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/UAPS-FULL-REPORT.pdf

The UAPS is conducted by Environics Institute for Survey Research. Established in 2006, it sponsors relevant and original public opinion and social values research related to issues of public policy and social change (http://uaps.ca/). Key Findings - http://uaps.ca/knowledge/key-findings/

My outtakes from the report

Inuit. In 2006, 50,485 individuals identified as Inuit. Inuit are the Aboriginal people of Arctic Canada. About 45,000 Inuit live in 53 communities in: Nunatsiavut (Labrador); Nunavik (Quebec); Nunavut; and the Inuvialuit Settlement Region of the Northwest Territories. Between 1996 and 2006, the Inuit population rose by 26 percent (UAPS pp.24).

Half (48%) of Aboriginal people in Canada are children and young people under 24 years of age, much higher than the 31 percent of the non-Aboriginal population. This proportion is particularly high in Regina and Saskatoon, two cities included in the UAPS, which have more than half (56% and 55%, respectively) of their Aboriginal populations aged 24 or younger (UAPS pp.25).

Almost nine in ten Inuit are first generation urban residents, reflecting the fact that Inuit are the least urbanized of Aboriginal groups in Canada. They are most likely among UAPS participants to feel a very close connection to their home community and have plans to return there permanently one day. Nonetheless, majorities feel their city of residence is home, although this feeling is less widespread compared to Métis and First Nations peoples.
Finally, Inuit are as likely as other UAPS participants to think they can make their city a better place to live (UAPS pp.30).

Inuit are more likely than First Nations or Métis to know their Aboriginal ancestry/background well, and derive a great sense of pride from this knowledge. Inuit are more likely to be very proud to be Inuk than Aboriginal and Canadian, although more than two-thirds are very proud of both these latter identities.
Nonetheless, one-quarter of UAPS participants in Ottawa (where the UAPS surveyed Inuit only) are either unable or unwilling to say how proud they are to be Aboriginal, and two in ten are unable or unwilling to say how proud they are to be Canadian.
However, their strong connection to their Inuk heritage does not preclude a sense of connection to other Aboriginal peoples. Indeed, Inuit are most likely among urban Aboriginal peoples to have a sense of connection with other Inuit and other Aboriginal groups in their city. (UAPS pp.44)

Education is the main life aspiration for Inuit, followed by a good job or career, and owning/having a home. Like First Nations peoples and Métis, Inuit define a successful life primarily in terms of family and a balanced lifestyle. In addition, they are most likely among urban Aboriginal peoples to believe that having a strong connection to one’s Aboriginal heritage and living in a traditional way are important elements of a good life. When it comes to overall health, Inuit are the most likely to consider being part of a healthy community an important determinant, and are less likely than others to believe in the importance of physical exercise (UAPS pp.104).

Comment:"Inuit....are less likely than others to believe in the importance of physical exercise" ??????????? (ibid.).

Four distinct world views revealed in the study - see pp.171.

Cultural Romantics represent the largest number (45%) of NA urban Canadians overall. The most idealistic and optimistic of the four segments, Cultural Romantics are unique from other segments in that they possess the strongest belief in the artistic and cultural contributions of Aboriginal peoples to Canadian society. They are most likely of the four segments to think Aboriginal peoples and their culture have made a major contribution to Canada’s national identity, and its culture and arts, and to believe Aboriginal history and culture is an important symbol of Canadian national identity (UAPS pp.181).

YOUTH ---->

A majority of youth are very proud of their Aboriginal identity. Although they are less likely to have some knowledge of their family tree and feel a connection to other Aboriginal peoples in their city, three-quarters of Aboriginal youth (18-24) express a strong sense of pride in their First Nations/Métis/Inuk identity (UAPS pp.42).

Aboriginal peoples in cities learn about their family tree from a variety of sources, but parents and grandparents are key sources of information, especially for youth (UAPS pp.45). +

+ Urban Aboriginal youth (18-24) are almost three times as likely (20%) as urban Aboriginal peoples aged 45 or over (7%) to say they are not interested in learning more about their family tree (UAPS pp.48).

....older (45 years or older) urban Aboriginal peoples (87%) are more likely than those younger than them to be very proud of their First Nations/Métis/Inuk identity. Still, it is important to note that three-quarters (75%) of urban Aboriginal youth (18-24) say they are very proud of their specific Aboriginal identity. Youth (75%) are also more likely than those immediately older (25-44 years of age) (67%) to be very proud to be Canadian, although this gap largely disappears among urban Aboriginal peoples 45 years of age and older (72%) (UAPS pp.49).

First Nations peoples and Métis aged 45 and older are more likely to feel at least a fairly close connection other First Nations/Métis in their city compared to those who are younger. Older Inuit are also more likely to have at least a fairly close connection to other Inuit in their city, however Inuk youth (41%) are as likely as those aged 45 and older (41%) to have a very close connection to other Inuit in their city (UAPS pp.52-53).

Furthermore, whereas older Aboriginal peoples are more likely to have many close Aboriginal friends, Aboriginal youth (18-24 years) are more likely to have many close non-Aboriginal friends (57% versus 50% of those aged 25-44, and 45% of those 45 years and older). Nonetheless, this gap between Aboriginal youth and older Aboriginal peoples largely disappears when those with some close non-Aboriginal friends is taken into account (UAPS pp.54).

Indeed, the UAPS suggests the cultural revitalization among urban Aboriginal people observed by the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples report (1996) continues, particularly in certain Canadian cities. But the findings also demonstrate that some groups, notably urban Aboriginal youth, are less likely than others to participate in Aboriginal traditions and cultural activities in their city. The following points summarize the main findings around urban Aboriginal culture (i.e., the ways of life that are passed from generation to generation) (see UAPS pp.57).

Furthermore, just as a sense of Aboriginal identity is less evident among urban Aboriginal youth (see previous chapter on Urban Aboriginal Identity), so, too, do youth appear to be less aware of the cultural activities that may contribute to a sense of collective identity among urban Aboriginal peoples (UAPS pp.60).

Likely by virtue of their greater awareness of Aboriginal cultural activities in their community and their higher rates of participation, older urban Aboriginal peoples are more likely than others to think that Aboriginal culture in their community has become stronger in the last five years. Youth (18-24) are most likely among all urban Aboriginal peoples to think the status quo prevails (UAPS pp.61).

One-third of Aboriginal youth in cities feel Aboriginal spirituality is not very or not at all important in their lives (UAPS pp.63).

Age has a substantial impact on urban Aboriginal peoples’ attention to Aboriginal politics. Older urban Aboriginal peoples (71% of those aged 45 or older) are considerably more likely than younger urban Aboriginal peoples, especially urban Aboriginal youth (34% of those 18-24 years of age), to pay at least some attention to Aboriginal politics (UAPS pp.87).

The news is out. Greenlandic TUMIT Production just received a grant from Kalaallit Nunaanni Namminersorlutik Oqartussat. The project in focus is ILIVEQ (se short clip here).
Prior to this, TUMIT called upon the media and reveiled that ILIVEQ will include young job-seekers in Nuuk (e.g. Piorsaavik) in the upcomming filmproduction. The work on ILIVEQ is set to start this year. (Those who just clicked the short clip linked above, might have noticed, that TUMIT is also involving the upcoming journalists).

This is going to be interesting to follow. Another example of action reinforcing the path to success.

I've submitted preliminary title and description for:
Études/Inuit/Studies on "Creative Technologies / Technologies créatives" (Due December 2010)

___________ on technology of everyday life
My article explores a particular practice - ____________ - for its tactics of appropriation and production of space. ____________, presented through data collected during my fieldwork in 2006-2007, accentuates important meanings to everydayness, and challenges our perception of engagement with the spatial and temporal rhythms of lived environments, such as the city of Sisimiut, Greenland.

--------------------------------------------------------

Topic (i.e. ___________):
Guess what?

Keywords &-issues:
> Everyday - repetition or ongoing negotiation?
> ______ - body/_____ /terrain
> Creativity - performance, accordion of meaning
> Youth

Theoretical framework:
”Man must be everyday, or he will not be at all" (Henri Lefebvre - Critique of Everyday Life, vol.1).

- what the heck does he mean by that?

Inuit urbains / Urban Inuit

Young Greenlanders in the urban space of Nuuk

by Birgit Kleist Pedersen (BKP) (Department of Language, Literature and Media,Ilisimatusarfik/University of Greenland).

This article is about young urban Greenlanders living in Nuuk, and how they depict themselves in selected lyrics and the feature film Eskimo Weekend (http://id.erudit.org/revue/etudinuit/2008/v32/n1/029821ar.html).

......."The underlying message from these young people, I believe, is that “sex, drugs and rockn’roll” may play an important role in their urban life, but the young people actually do reflect on the past, present and future in a responsible way" (Pedersen 2008, In: Études/Inuit/Studies, Volume 32, numéro 1, 2008, p. 91-105).

PLACE URBANITY

Place Urbanity by Jeffrey Shaw (2001) from UNSW iCinema Centre on Vimeo .

I found this thought-provoking definition of urbanity. As you can hear and see it is from down under......what do you recon....

"The human being.....has a need to see, to hear, to touch, to taste and the need to gather these perceptions in a 'world'. To these anthropological needs which are socially elaborated (that is, sometimes separated, sometimes joined together, here compressed and there hypertrophied), can be added specific needs which are not satisfied by those commercial and cultural infrastructures which are somewhat parsimoniously take into account by planners. This refers to the need for creative activity, for the oeuvre (not only products and consumable material goods), of the need for information, symbolism, the imaginary and play" (Lefebvre 1996:147).

I think there are sequences where little bit of both appear in the video. Play and planning. As we zoom in and "zoom" around.

Lucie performed the song for Bev Oda and all the Provincial and Territorial Ministers of the Status of Women at a function announcing the renaming of city streets across the country to Angel Street. Several cities have taken it into consideration with Fredericton, NB already on board. Lucie has been amazed by the impact of the song. She wrote from the heart but had no idea that the song would become such a symbol of hope for women and communities across the country. Both versions hold very special meaning to her. The acoustic version of this song can be found in the following short documentary, A Place To Run To, which focuses on the issue of spousal abuse in the north: www.explore.org......."

Urban Rhythms

2009-02-04T06:19:00.003-03:00

...."Rhythms differ from one another in their amplitude, in the energies they ferry and deploy, and in their frequency. Such differences, conveyed and reproduced by the rhythms which embody them, translate into intensity or strenght of anticipation, tension and action. All these factors interact with one another within the body, which is traversed by rhythms rather as the 'ether' is traversed by waves" (Lefebvre 1991:206).

Discovering the beauty of teenagers
by John Hasyn
YES! Online: For Teachers & Students

"The first line of the chorus from the song “Teenagers” by the band My Chemical Romance is, “Teenagers scare the living sh*t out of me.”

For most of my adult life, this could have been my mantra. Quite frankly, I found teenage coolness intimidating and always dreaded or avoided interacting with them. I’m also of an age where I can barely remember the details of own adolescence.

Today, I actually really want to be around young people. That’s been a big change for me. I’ve learned I can connect with a teenager. I never thought that would be possible until I discovered Nunavut.

I first visited the region in 2006 in search of something good. Ever since Nunavut became a part of Canada just under a decade ago, there were reports only of its socio-economic failures. Generally, when I only see bad, I know there is something good just around the corner. It didn’t take me long to find it................."

FUTURE PARTNERSHIPS

Not particularly a post concerning youth although the image sets the stage (what?#¤*^**).
I was asked to contribute with SK8 images for the IWGIA publication: "UTIMUT - Past Heritage - Future Partnerships. Discussions on Repatriation in the 21th Century" by Mille Gabriel and Jens Dahl (2008) (eds.) . One of them made it on the backcover.

The original. SK8 practice, Sisimiut 2007.
