The temporary turn in asylum
Boundary work in times of deterrence
The Danish Parliament has increased legal measures to deter asylum seekers from heading to Denmark. Since 2019 all residence permits are granted ‘with a view to temporary residence’, while the criteria for meeting the requirements for permanent stay have been raised. The focus on integrating newcomers has been subordinated to objectives of deterrence and return, placing refugees with temporary residence in Denmark under conditions of deportabilit…
Out of sync
Over the past decade, a series of legal changes have intensified Denmark’s temporal governance of refugees. This development reflects a more widespread turn towards temporary protection and return across the Global North. Drawing on eleven months of fieldwork and interviews with thirty refugees in Denmark, the article applies a temporal lens to analyse how this development is experienced and navigated by refugee families subjected to conditions o…
Family learning environments in Scandinavia
In this paper, we use data from 44 Danish families to develop a new conceptual framework for analysing family learning environments and how they shape children’s opportunities in the Scandinavian context. We use data from qualitative interviews and a new smartphone app to outline six key dimensions of family learning environments that intersect in four types, which we label Expansive curators, Recreational home dwellers, Casual pragmatists and Di…
Disturbing Intimacies
In Denmark, many illegalised migrants are subjected to open-ended detention at 'departure centres.' Based on qualitative data collected during 2017-2022, this article examines instances where detention leads to the separation of mixed-immigration status families. Drawing on concepts of deportability, detainability and in/visibility, the article argues that departure centres constitute a border spectacle that simultaneously renders people hyper-vi…
Affective Borderwork
This article explores how contemporary European migration governance utilizes affect and emotions to govern (unwanted) migration. Building on ethnographic fieldwork, we aim to show how emotions are used to bring the border alive beyond the actual geographical border, both inside Europe and in countries of origin. By juxtaposing two cases we highlight the interlinkages but also the differences between an, IOM-led, information campaign targeting th…
Trust and mistrust in public services for people with disabilities
This article explores a zone of conflict and a demonstrable gap in perceptions of casework and public services in Denmark between service users with disabilities and caseworkers. First, based on a descriptive analysis of responses from two surveys, one of service users with disabilities (N = 1,427) and one of caseworkers from four human services departments (N = 428): the ‘Job Centre’, ‘Adult Disability’, ‘Children & Families’ and ‘Health’, we fi…
Ambiguous Encounters
This qualitative study combined the approaches of Foucault and Goffman to investigate the consequences of a “roll-out” neoliberal “activation” programme on Denmark’s reception of asylum-seekers. The analysis found that the activation programme is an ambiguous technology of power intended to shape asylum-seekers into productive citizens by simultaneously disciplining them and improving their health and well-being, while using their labour to reduc…
Making a familial care worker
The Nordic universalist welfare states place great value on promoting gender equality among immigrant minorities. Yet, as this article demonstrates, there is a tension in the Danish asylum regime between the gender mainstreaming objective that is prominent in the integration discourse and policy and the actual practices of migrant camp employees tasked with activation and preparing asylum seekers for integration into Denmark. Based on four extrac…
