This article uses social practices to better understand the interrelations between a social ideology that decried aspiration and the practices of the young men bettering their lot in life when entering the Stockholm guilds. The path into guild membership is investigated regarding the inclusion of would-be members, their social networks, the materiality of documentation and the ideas, symbols and aspirations expressed in the process. The article shows that transition from one social position to another was laden with positive value and symbolism, and that this was underscored with the help of scores of participants apart from the would-be apprentice himself. These young men held a liminal position in society, but one that was understood as largely positive. They were deeply embedded within a local community, but with a direction in life, unmarried, skilled or wanting to acquire skill. While practices of social mobility opened paths for these young men, they also contained social order and the mobility of others.

年轻人，找到你的财富：1650-1720 年瑞典的公会和社会秩序实践

本文使用社会实践来更好地理解谴责抱负的社会意识形态与进入斯德哥尔摩行会时改善生活的年轻人的实践之间的相互关系。对成为公会成员的途径进行了调查，包括潜在成员的参与、他们的社交网络、文件的重要性以及在此过程中表达的想法、符号和愿望。文章表明，从一种社会地位到另一种社会地位的转变充满了积极的价值和象征意义，这在除了准学徒本人之外的数十名参与者的帮助下得到了强调。这些年轻人在社会中处于一种边缘地位，但人们认为这种地位在很大程度上是积极的。他们深深扎根于当地社区，但有人生方向，未婚，熟练或想要获得技能。社会流动的实践为这些年轻人开辟了道路，同时也包含了社会秩序和他人的流动。
