Family Life in Bavaria - Empirical Insights into Transformations, Resources and Negotiations

Cross-Cutting Topic: Resources

The cross-sectional area of "resources" aims to capture various aspects of family support. In order to approach these, the focus will be on developing different conceptual dimensions of the concept of resources on the one hand and on analysing practices and discourses in which resources for families are produced and made available on the other. The responsible working group will analyse relevant dimensions such as material, spatial, temporal, social, emotional, physical, economic, political and legal aspects of resources. The focus will be on the question of how resources are negotiated at different levels and which normative discourses are associated with them. The exchange aims to develop a multi-layered approach to the concept of resources and to consider equality, inequality, normalisation and discrimination in the context of family resources. The group is interested in understanding how families deal with resources, especially when resources are limited, and which new access models can be created.
