Reproduction of (Un)-modernity at the site of the everyday: Knowledge production practices on ‘migrant families’ in the Netherlands
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper examines how the everyday doing of ‘migrant families’ is described, problematized, and disciplined within knowledge production practices. Through a critical discourse analysis of research reports originating in the Netherlands and focused on migrant families, the paper explores the discursive constructions of ‘modern’ and ‘unmodern’ families, depicted in their doing of ‘modern’ and ‘unmodern values’, while highlighting the fluid and contested construction of modernity itself. By merging theoretical perspectives from critical migration studies, sociology of the everyday, and occupational science, the paper argues that the study and description of the everyday is yet another site where cultural assumptions and modernity logics are (re)produced and disseminated into practice in ways in which the everyday becomes the site of intensive harm. In turn, the implications of such discursive harm in the lives of those deemed ‘unmodern’ warrants further study.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
