Unge maend og biler. Tilhör inden for og uden for skolen
Sammanfattning
This article works from theoretical concepts of belonging, social learning, place, heterotopia and resistance to show, how a small group of young men talk about their lives, inside and outside of a school context. The purpose of the article is to show how these young men’s activities and experience (related to cars) outside of school contributes to the development of vocational, masculine, adult identities, which bridges from everyday life to education. The young men are all in an educational program as smiths or auto mechanics in a training center organized as part of upper secondary vocational education. The methodological design establish a collective framework for the young men’s reflection on shared social conditions and prospects in relation to education and youth life.
