Just like home? Temporal and moral coordination of everyday life in times of hybrid work
Hybrid work has gained renewed attention post-COVID-19, prompting shifts in how we practice work and use digital technologies to both integrate and separate work and home in time and space. While often presented as flexible and individualized, hybrid work is deeply embedded in daily routines in the home and in collective rhythms. This paper examines how hybrid worker communities in Denmark reconfigure these rhythms and coordinate activities acros…
The Social Zipper
Danish postwar non‐profit housing estates reflect the rise of the welfare state by providing quality housing for all, regardless of income. Typically built on the outskirts of cities, these estates were shaped by modernist ideals of traffic separation and functional zoning. Today, several states face criticism for their physical and social fragmentation. In response, the Danish government introduced the Parallel Society Act in 2018, mandating mix…
Changing Spatialities of Homes in Post-Covid-19 Working-from-Home Practices
The conceptual separation of home and work, central to the cultural history of housing in most modern westernized countries, has been blurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has introduced working from home to many households. Using the lens of Lefebvre, this paper contributes to the ethnographic investigation of how households negotiate the ambiguity of time and space at home in post-lockdown working-from-home practices. The paper shows that (1)…
High Neighbor! Residents’ Social Practices in New Danish High-Rises
Historically, Denmark—like the other Nordic countries—has had relatively few, and relatively low residential high-rise buildings compared to other urbanized countries. Inspired by an international vertical urban turn, however, multiple high-rises have now been planned and built. This has refueled the debate on whether living in high-rises is compatible with Danish housing culture and our high standard of social life. From this local perspective, …
The Perforated Welfare Space
The Danish postwar social housing developments originally epitomized the dawning welfare state, promoting ideals of equity and community. Today, a number of these neighborhoods have come to occupy the reverse role and are publicly represented as “parallel societies,” “ghettos” or even “holes in the map of Denmark,” thus perforating the welfare state as a socially coherent space. Based on a media analysis and field studies in the so-called “hard g…
Masculine roles and practices in homes with photovoltaic systems
Privately owned, domestic photovoltaic (PV) panels can play an important role in the transition to a low-carbon society by producing renewable energy for the grid and engaging households in energy management. In both aspects, gender is an issue, leading to the development of new theoretical concepts, e.g . the ‘resource man’, the ‘flexibility woman’ and the ‘mother-multiple’. However, a deeper understanding of the role of masculinity may reveal g…
Gendered homes in theories of practice
Hjemme i globaliseringen
I nærværende artikel er det min hensigt at sætte fokus på den aktuelle dyrkelse af hjemmet, som har pustet liv i en diskussion om hjemmets rolle i globaliseringsteorierne. I dag synes udfordringen ikke at forstå globaliseringen over for det forankrede hverdagsliv, men at forsøge at etablere en dialog mellem de to. Ved at sætte begrebet hjem centralt i forhold til teorier om mobilitet, modernisering og globalisering, vil denne artikel sætte fokus …
