Young adults’ sourcing and supply of opioids in a changing drug market
The study shows that young adults access opioids from a variety of sources that often start with sourcing opioids through social networks, especially during the early stages of use. These insights call for nuanced prevention strategies that move beyond individual consumer models and address the complex social dynamics of non-prescribed opioid access and use
User perspectives on outreach opioid substitution treatment among street-entrenched people who use drugs in Denmark
Background The COVID-19 pandemic had many serious consequences for vulnerable populations, but it also gave rise to innovations and changes of established ways of providing services for such populations. In Copenhagen, Denmark outreach opioid agonist therapy (OAT) was such an innovation.Methods Based on qualitative interviews with 15 individuals who received outreach OAT this article describes this new service and presents OAT clients’ experience…
Squared Drinking
Public drinking practices among socially marginalized people remain highly stigmatized. Unlike public drinking practices among young people in Denmark, little attention has been put on the meanings and value attributed to such settings by people at the margins. In this paper, we examine public drinking practices of socially marginalized people with a Greenlandic background living in Denmark with attention to public squares where participants gath…
Street-level service journeys
People living in situations of homelessness and drug use experience significant barriers when seeking to access services in the Danish welfare state. Yet rarely are journeys to services examined in depth with attention to the factors that may either support or prevent their completion. Towards this aim, the article employs a ‘service journey’ approach by unfolding an ethnographic case study of a service journey pieced together at the street-level…
More Concerned About Mr. and Mrs. Denmark”
This article builds on fieldwork conducted during lockdown in Denmark among users of services at the intersection of homelessness and drug use. The paper bridges two distinct approaches to understanding the relation between marginalization and crisis, with one focused on the impact of "big events" on marginalized populations, and another on everyday strategies employed to survive situations of homelessness and drug use. The paper shows how past e…
What's in Stock? Drug drought anticipation during Covid-19 among people who use drugs and service providers
Although no long-term drug scarcity was seen, the anticipation of a shortage was sufficient to impact on local drug market dynamics. Heterogeneity in PWUDs' experiences of access to drug markets during lockdown can to some degree be explained in terms of their varied embeddedness in social networks. While local markets proved resilient to lockdown measures, PWUD less embedded in social networks were more vulnerable to shifts in drug availability …
Inclusive gentrification? Reproducing logics of exclusion in strategies for inclusive urban planning
Purpose The authors investigate two contrasting, yet mutually constitutive strategies for regulating open drug scenes in the city of Aarhus, Denmark: A strategy of dispersing marginalized substance users from the inner city, and a simultaneous strategy of inclusion in a new, gentrifying neighbourhood. Design/methodology/approach The authors apply a multi-temporal ethnography approach, including data from studies dating back to 2002. This enables …
The construction of 'socially marginalised Greenlanders' as a target group in Danish welfare policy and practice
This paper examines the emergence of ‘socially marginalized Greenlanders’ as a distinct target category in Danish welfare policy and practice. It builds on analysis of policies targeting Greenlandic minorities in Denmark and interviews with welfare professionals in charge of implementing these. The paper shows how Greenlandic minorities are represented as characterized by markers of difference viewed to set them apart from other socially marginal…
A Case Study of Casework Tinkering
Citizens with complex problems are often in touch with different welfare services and administrative systems in order to receive the help, they need. Sometimes these services overlap and sometimes they conflict. The lack of ready-made services to match the complex, multiple, and often shifting needs of citizens with complex problems presents a challenge to caseworkers in the welfare system. In this article, we zoom in on the management of a singl…
Petroleum Planning as State Building in Timor-Leste
This article examines the aesthetics and contestations surrounding the planning of a far-reaching petroleum infrastructure and development scheme on the south coast of Timor-Leste. The project, known as Tasi Mane, is symptomatic of the central role that oil and gas revenues have come to play in the country’s development. The article explores how promises of prosperity mobilise visions of societal improvement that were once associated with indepen…

Engaging Processes of Sense-Making and Negotiation in Contemporary Timor-Leste
The articles in this special issue build on past ethnographic inquiries and focus on \npolitical and social change since Timor-Leste \nindependence. One of the things we \nhave found particularly exciting about researching post-independent Timor-Leste has \nbeen to carry out fieldwork in a context where not just researchers, but also our \ninformants, are caught up in processes of \nsense-making of determining what kind \nof place Timor-Leste as …
Negotiating Indonesia
This article provides an examination of ambivalent negotiations of Indonesia in independent Timor-Leste. Post-independence engagements with and longings for Indonesia have rarely been treated in analyses of Timor-Leste. The article takes as its starting point the inscription of difference between Indonesia and what was then known as East Timor during the resistance years, before moving on to analyse how Indonesian discourses and imaginaries of po…
Building from Scratch
This article looks at the visual character of post‐conflict and post‐disaster settings, and shows how states of physical ruin can help to produce an ‘aesthetics of post‐disaster reconstruction’. With examples primarily drawn from the author's field site in Timor‐Leste, the article shows how ruins, ashes and demolition may be perceived as enabling particular kinds of agency and opportunity. Thus, some of the most hopeful of international‐intervent…
Loven Er Kun for De Små Folk
This article is based on fi eldwork conducted in Timor Leste in 2004-5 and an ongoing fi eldwork commenced in early 2007. It is inspired by the frequent references to justice - and particularly to injustice - in political debates, public protests and media reports during both fi eldworks. The article examines how approaches to justice represented by the two truth commissions, CAVR and CTF, relate to alternative notions of justice in the nation-bu…
