    Navigating Onlife Privacy: A Family Environment Perspective on Children’s Moral Principles

    This article illuminates which moral principles children and their parents invoke to explain onlife privacy-related practices from a family ecological and narrative approach. It draws on a focused ethnographic study with 10 Flemish socially privileged families with a keen interest in digital technologies and at least one child entering their teenage years. We analyse our data through the analytical lens of a sociopsychological framework that considers children’s privacy experiences from three dimensions: self-ego, environmental, and interpersonal. Overall, this article concludes that while risk-averse concerns are present in both the parents’ and children’s narratives about onlife privacy, parents have allowed their maturing children considerable privacy and leeway. Also, both parents and children articulated the importance of respecting one another’s privacy. We frame this set of principles as ‘quadruple R’: responsibility, risk, reputation, and respect for privacy

    Zero to eight : young children and their internet use

    Get PDF
    EU Kids Online has spent seven years investigating 9-16 year olds’ engagement with the internet, focusing on the benefits and risks of children’s internet use. While this meant examining the experiences of much younger children than had been researched before EU Kids Online began its work in 2006, there is now a critical need for information about the internet-related behaviours of 0-8 year olds. EU Kids Online’s research shows that children are now going online at a younger and younger age, and that young children’s “lack of technical, critical and social skills may pose [a greater] risk” (Livingstone et al, 2011, p. 3).peer-reviewe

    I would never post that: Children, moral sensitivity and online disclosure

    No full text
    This article explores young children's moral sensitivity regarding online disclosure. Drawing on psychological theory, moral sensitivity is defined as the ability to express and show moral consideration in terms of empathy, role-taking and pro-social moral reasoning. Twenty-five preadolescent children aged 9 to 11, all living in Belgium, were asked in focus group interviews to share their reflections about and experiences with self-disclosure and privacy in internet environments. The findings demonstrate that young children are capable of imagining the moral consequences of disclosing personal information about oneself and about others. Their moral reflections are embedded in a more general concern of children's vulnerability to other, more powerful information circulators in their social networks, such as older children, siblings, but also parents or the internet crowd. A strong sense of children's entitlements to online privacy is articulated. Also, the decision of disclosing personal information about the other is carefully considered when the other is emotionally important to the children.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

    Reflections of a Child. Depicting Healthy Childhood in the 1940s and 1960s

    No full text
    Throughout the last century, childhood has undergone some significant changes. Children evolved from miniature adults working in factories to specific actors with rights of their own. This transformation also altered the way that society perceived childhood and the way people thought children should be treated and cared for. The process has been documented on a macro level. The transformation of children themselves is somewhat overshadowed by larger study domains, but nevertheless is just as interesting. Obviously, after all, social scientists are increasingly treating children and childhood as specific research topics. This article deals with the question of how popular media have co-constructed and defined the concept of the healthy child in the 1940s and in the 1960s, two time periods with different socioeconomic and cultural climates when it comes to children, health and food. The main research goal is to find out how society perceived the healthy child and how society was concerned with the health of children. How were children portrayed and what can this tell us about the dominant discourses regarding the health of children ? Based on a quantitative visual content analysis of 548 advertisements in Libelle, the earliest Flemish women’s magazine published in Belgium, we discuss how the imaging (both visual and textual) of the healthy child has changed during the post-World War II decades in the Dutch speaking part of Belgium. The findings are contextualized within the global historical transformation that childhood, health and food culture went through in the 1940s and 1960s.L’ñge tendre a traversĂ© plusieurs changements au cours du siĂšcle passĂ©. Les enfants se sont transformĂ©s d’adultes miniatures, travaillant dans des ateliers, dans des ĂȘtres avec des droits spĂ©cifiques. Ce changement a modifiĂ© la façon dont la sociĂ©tĂ© a considĂ©rĂ© l’ñge tendre et dont les enfants doivent ĂȘtre traitĂ©s. Cette Ă©volution a Ă©tĂ© Ă©tudiĂ©e sur un niveau macro, par exemple Ă  travers l’industrialisation. Toutefois, l’histoire des enfants mĂȘme a Ă©tĂ© nĂ©gligĂ©e, bien qu’elle soit des plus intĂ©ressantes. C’est ainsi que plusieurs chercheurs ont entamĂ© la recherche d’aspects spĂ©cifiques de l’histoire de l’enfance. Cet article analyse la façon dont les mĂ©dias populaires ont construit et dĂ©fini l’image de l’enfant sain dans les annĂ©es 1940 et ’ 60 (deux pĂ©riodes assez diffĂ©rentes du point de vue social, Ă©conomique et culturel en ce qui concerne l’enfant, la nourriture et la santĂ©). Comment les enfants Ă©taient-ils reprĂ©sentĂ©s et quelle Ă©tait la signification de cette image pour le discours dominant des deux Ă©poques ? BasĂ©e sur une analyse quantitative et visuelle de 548 publicitĂ©s dans Libelle, une revue pour femmes parue depuis les annĂ©es 1940, nous suivons l’image de l’enfant sain dans la pĂ©riode d’aprĂšs-guerre en Belgique. Les rĂ©sultats sont situĂ©s par rapport aux transformations de l’enfance, de l’alimentation et de la culture en gĂ©nĂ©ral en Belgique dans les annĂ©es 1940 et 1960.In de loop van de voorbije eeuw onderging de kindertijd enkele belangrijke wijzigingen. Kinderen evolueerden van miniatuurvolwassenen die in fabrieken werkten tot specifieke actoren met hun eigen rechten. Deze transformatie veranderde ook de visie van de maatschappij op het concept “ kindertijd” en de manier waarop mensen meenden dat kinderen hoorden behandeld en verzorgd te worden. Dit proces is gedocumenteerd op een macroniveau. De transformatie die kinderen zelf ondergingen, wordt enigszins overschaduwd door grotere studiedomeinen, maar is toch even interessant. Sociale wetenschappers beschouwen kinderen en de kindertijd immers in toenemende mate als een specifiek onderzoeksdomein. Dit artikel onderzoekt hoe populaire media het beeld van het gezonde kind mee vorm gaven en definieerden in de jaren 40 en 60, twee decennia met een verschillend socioeconomisch en cultureel klimaat wat betreft kinderen, gezondheid en voeding. Het voornaamste doel van deze studie is nagaan hoe de maatschappij een gezond kind opvatte en hoe zij begaan was met de gezondheid van kinderen. Hoe worden kinderen voorgesteld en wat vertelt dit over het dominante discours over de gezondheid van kinderen ? Steunend op een kwantitatieve visuele inhoudsanalyse van 548 advertenties in Libelle, het eerste Vlaamse vrouwenblad dat in BelgiĂ« gepubliceerd werd, bespreken we hoe de beeldvorming (zowel visueel als tekstueel) van een gezond kind veranderde in de decennia na de Tweede Wereldoorlog in Vlaanderen. De resultaten worden in verband gebracht met de globale historische veranderingen die de opvattingen over kindertijd, gezondheid en eetcultuur doormaakten in de jaren ’ 40 en ’ 60.Van Den Cruyce Nele, Bauwens Joke, Segers Katia.

    Lokaal integraal veiligheidsbeleid: onderzoek naar een geĂŻntegreerde aanpak

    No full text
    Als we het woord containerbegrip zoals VAN DALE definiĂ«ren als een “begrip zonder afgebakende betekenis waar de gebruiker zelf nadere invulling aan kan geven”, moeten we vaststellen dat de titel van dit onderzoek meerdere van zulke begrippen herbergt. Vanaf wanneer spreek je immers over (on)veiligheid? Wat is de territoriale afbakening van een begrip als lokaal? Waar zit precies het verschil tussen integraal en geĂŻntegreerd? En wat impliceert het voeren van beleid precies? De variĂ«teit aan mogelijke invullingen van deze termen en concepten leidt tot spraakverwarring en conceptuele onduidelijkheid, wat meteen een eenduidige invulling ervan hypothekeert. Om te komen tot een duidelijke conceptualisering zullen we de verschillende gehanteerde concepten bespreken en situeren. We zullen immers zien dat de wijze waarop deze zich tot elkaar verhouden leidt tot de probleemstelling – de implementatieproblematiek van deze beleidsvisie – en daarmee ook de aanzet tot voorliggend onderzoek naar een geĂŻntegreerde aanpak van een lokaal integraal veiligheidsbeleid.

    The Logic of Formatting: A Case Study on Transnational TV Production

    No full text
    The transnationalization of television production has been examined by studies on formats and multinational media companies, which have often highlighted the resilience of the local in the global. This article investigates transnationalization on the microlevel of television production, drawing on participant observations in a Dutch production company that is partly owned by an American conglomerate. It explores the deep entanglement of the local with the global in different facets of production – including legal, organizational, and market aspects – as manifested in daily practices and decision making in television production. Our analysis reveals an industrial logic of formatting that is not only induced by transnational ownership structures and business models but also deeply ingrained in production routines and programme conventions. Through this logic, transnationalization shapes media professionals’ daily work, the selection of programme ideas, and the process of content development
