Professionssociologi
Hos de klassiske europæiske sociologer som Max Weber og Emile Durkheim spillede professionerne en stor rolle som vigtige sociale og politiske organisationer; og i den amerikanske sociologi har særligt Chicago-skolen teoretiseret og analyseret professionerne på original vis
Engaging with engagement
This article investigates an overlooked question: what kind of methodological sensitivity is necessary when using Laurent Thévenot's sociology of regimes of engagement (SRE) in ethnographic research? Thévenot's call to study proximate forms of engagement ‘below’ the public correlates with the recent turn to non-representational methodologies in ethnography. Thus, we discuss the methodological consequences of the ontological commitment of SRE thro…

Hos de klassiske europæiske sociologer som Max Weber og Emile Durkheim spillede professionerne en stor rolle som vigtige sociale og politiske organisationer; og i den amerikanske sociologi har særligt Chicago-skolen teoretiseret og analyseret professionerne på original vis. Gennem tiden har flere forskellige, konkurrerende perspektiver på professioner gjort sig gældende, fra det funktionalistiske til det neo-weberianske. I nutidens sociologi spil…
Working the Boundaries of Social Work
Artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithmic decision-support are relatively new technologies within the field of social work. This paper investigates how the social work profession in Denmark responds to the current technological changes. Analysing articles from professional journals associated with the Danish Association of Social Workers, online content on the association’s website, and interviews with key actors involved in the association’s …
Decision support and algorithmic support
The promise of artificial intelligence and algorithms to make bureaucratic processes more efficient and minimise ‘subjective’ judgement and, hence, professional discretion in case management has recently resulted in the development and implementation of different kinds of algorithms in social work. In this paper, we analyse the ideas, developments and use of three ‘decision-support’-algorithms, developed for Danish municipalities within social wo…
Professional scaling work
The literature on professions, drawing on both sociological and management approaches, has recently turned its focus to the transnational scale. In this article, building on Andrew Abbott's work on professional jurisdictions, we analyze the way transnational resources come to play a role in local professional claims-making and work practices in the inter-professional struggle over jurisdiction. Comparing case studies set in Denmark into three eme…
From rain as risk to rain as resource
This article analyzes the recent changes in urban rainwater management practices by analyzing the work of urban rainwater professionals. As a result of climate change, cities are experiencing more frequent and heavier rainfall events. The article shows how professional work on new infrastructures for managing urban climate rain contributes to the transformation of organizational practices. The article shows how a professional group within the eng…
Sewage systems, treatment plants, ‘blue–green solutions’
This article analyses three key moments in the historical development of urban wastewater infrastructure and points to the important role that professionals, and particularly engineers, play in these transformations in relation to public issues and concerns over wastewater. The article uses historical documents and interview data to illustrate the work of professionals, as well as suggesting more specifically that professionals have the capacity …
The practice of jurisdictionalizing
This article explores via the concept of professional jurisdiction how engineers shape and maintain authority in practice, and points to the important role of specific professional documents in this practice. Drawing on the sociology of conventions, the article shows how the documents work as standardized and 'invested' forms that help professional actors coordinate internally in the profession, as well as compromise, maintain boundaries and forg…
The Professional Work of Hinge Objects
Recent developments in sustainable urban drainage have turned the area, formerly controlled by engineers, into a professional field encompassing engineers, landscape architects, and urban planners. Through interviews, fieldwork, and document analysis of three Danish cases of urban rainwater management, the article shows how these three different professions, in drawing upon the specific Danish concept of LAR (Local Diversion of Rainwater), compet…
Ecologies of Boundaries
Ecological approaches to professional work, authority, and regulation have seen a resurgence in the sociology of professions, as epitomized in the linked ecologies framework of Andrew Abbott. Alongside this resurgence comes a renewed attention to the way symbolic and material boundaries within and between professions, as well as between professional, university, and political institutions, come to be defined, negotiated, and changed as part of on…
Methods of engagement
This article evaluates and develops the contribution of pragmatic sociology to the study of urban life and politics, by way of analysing recent shifts in the cultural-political forms of civic participation in formal urban planning. In doing so, it seeks to stage a critical test of the diagnosis of a ‘certified’, (neo-)liberal city that has recently emerged from work with Laurent Thévenot’s sociology of engagements and commonalities. Drawing on ex…
Picturing Urban Green Attachments
In this article, we explore the cultural-political tensions and ambiguities of urban ecology, by way of following how activists move and translate between 'familiar' and 'public' engagements in the green city. Empirically, we locate our exploration in and around Nordhavnen (The North Harbor), a large-scale sustainable urban development project in Copenhagen. Invoking Laurent Thévenot's pragmatic sociology of 'regimes of engagement', we sketch a c…
Irakerne i kirken
I denne artikel undersøges den offentlige debat i de danske aviser vedrørende situationen omkring de afviste irakiske asylansøgere, der tog ophold i Brorsons Kirke i København, maj 2009. Artiklen kortlægger med udgangspunkt i Boltanski og Thévenots teori om retfærdiggørelse og pragmatiske handlingsregimer de måder, hvorpå aktørerne i debatten retfærdiggør deres vurderinger af situationen. Artiklen viser, hvordan debatten foregår i tre forskellige…
