Title: Participation as relation-creating process. Understanding complexity in young people’s cultural participation through two Swedish case studies.
Abstract
Cultural policy often stresses the importance participation in relation to children and young people. The aim of this paper is to engage in academic inquiry of understanding the will to empower young people through participation in culture, by exploring two case studies in Gothenburg, Sweden.Transformative aspects found in the organisations analysed entailed measures to challenge different norms regarding 1. The cultural space, 2. Value and quality, 3. The creative young subject, 4. The adult role, and 5. The cultural event. The paper proposes the conception of participation as a relation-creating process with the purpose of distributing power – in this case, from adults to young people. The ambition is that this definition can help both practitioners of cultural projects and cultural policy theorists to embrace the complexity of young people’s cultural participation.

Abstract
‘Discipline’ is commonly used to denote particular areas of knowledge, research, and education. Yet, the concept is often not very well defined, or even explicitly discussed when used in Library and Information Science (LIS) and related fields. The aim of this article is to encourage and facilitate further reflections on ‘disciplinarity’, while at the same time offering insights to how this elusive concept might be defined. An overarching argument is that ‘discipline’ foremost should be understood in relation to institutional and organizational features, and this is what distinguishes it from related terms like, field, domain or topic. The paper reviews the etymology and history of the concept, it discusses attempts of defining and conceptualising disciplines, and it offers insights in to how disciplinarity can be studied. Regardless of our views of disciplines – as inherently out-dated constructs, or important features of a well functioning academia – it is concluded that further precision and care in defining the concept is needed.
