Migrant Youth, Schooling and Identity
Bringing Norbert Elias to School
In this chapter, we will argue that an Eliasian figurational approach can enhance our knowledge of schooling, while a detailed study of everyday life in schools brings new insights into civilising processes in welfare state societies. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in Danish schools, we show how seeing schools and school classes as social figurations akin to Elias’s court society illuminates how children’s habitus is not just moulded b…
Averting, stepping-up or shielding
Based on ethnographic fieldwork and life-story interviews, this article examines parenting and school strategies of the emergent second generation of minority Danish parents and how they are shaped by their generational position. Across socio-economic differences, the participating parents are highly engaged in their children’s schooling and well-being, practising an ‘intensive parenting’ widespread in the contemporary social generation and also …
The teaching of Islam in Scandinavia
Introduction
Being Muslim “without a fuss”
The ethnic boundary between majority Danes and Muslim minorities has become increasingly impermeable in recent decades, restricting Muslim minorities to conditional inclusion, adapting to the majority’s conditions of good citizenship. This article looks at the “conditions of inclusion” for Muslim pupils in multi-ethnic schools, focusing on what pupils express as an ideal of being a “relaxed Muslim”. This condition of “relaxed” religiosity reflect…
This Society Has Taken Me.’ Intensive Parenting and Fragile Belonging among Second-Generation Minority Danish Parents
Based on life-history interviews and fieldwork among second-generation minority Danish parents from different ethnic backgrounds, this article explores changes in parenting norms and practices between first-generation and second-generation minority Danish parents. The second-generation parents generally experience that, compared to their own parents and contemporary first-generation parents, they have a more ‘open’ and ‘engaged’ relationship with…
Secularities-in-Practice
This article explores the ideals and practices of moderate secularism characteristic of Danish schools’ approach to Muslim pupils, Islam, and religion in general. It argues that while these reflect the Danish ‘culture of secularity’ (Wohlrab-Sahr & Burchardt 2012), differences in ‘secularities-in-practice’ between schools necessitate a look at the interactional level and institutional context. Drawing on Norbert Elias’ figurational sociology, the…
Children as potential – a window to cultural ideals, anxieties and conflicts
Drawing on sociologist Norbert Elias’ theory of civilising processes, this article argues for a perspective on children as ‘potential’. With this notion we focus on the efforts, hopes and fears that adult society invest in children and through them in future society. Seeing this as a result of historical processes and social dynamics, we hold that such a perspective provide us with a window to deep-felt ideals and anxieties in society, the norms …
Nødvendighedens Pædagogik
Ifølge flere diskursteoretiske skoleforskere har folkeskolen igennem en årrække gennemgået fundamentale ændringer i forhold til sit formål og menneskesyn. Politologen Ove Kaj Pedersen ser dette som relateret til Danmarks overgang fra velfærdsstat til konkurrencestat og beskriver, at skolens formål i dag er at ruste eleverne til at være 'soldater' i nationernes konkurrence. Denne artikel argumenterer for, at der ses et andet mere broget billede af…
Den gode vilje og de vilde børn
Laura Gilliam: The Good Will and the Wild Children. The Paradox of Civilizing in the Danish School Based on fieldwork in three Danish schools, this article focuses on the school's project of transforming children into civilized citizens and the consequences this have for teachers' work with children, and for children's practices, social categories and construction of identity. It is argued that the civilizing project directed towards the groups r…
