Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The relevance and continuation of class in late modern society has been at the heart of contemporary debates in youth studies. Beck and others argue that major social changes are impacting individual’s relationships with status-based classes. Individuals have been ‘disembedded’ from traditional communal contexts and re-embedded into new modes in which the ability to create life paths and new identities is achieved through individual reflexivity. How these changes and developments are impacting the class relationships and trajectories of young people is an important area of debate. It has been suggested that while the young see individual solutions and choices as central to their lives, outcomes are still strongly connected to social class. This contradiction has been seen as an ‘epistemological fallacy’ where a disjuncture between objective and subjective dimensions obscures underlying class relationships. This article draws on data collected from an ESRC research programme on Pathways Into and Out of Crime and the work of Pierre Bourdieu to explore understandings, meanings and relevance of class in young people’s lives. This is accomplished primarily by depicting how class is subjectively impacting young people’s educational and occupational choices and how it is embedded in their everyday reflexivity.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
