Extensions: The Embodiment, Spatiality, Materiality, and Sociality of Neighboring in Danish Public Housing
Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork from a public housing area in Copenhagen, this article explores how dwelling, spatiality, materiality, sociality, and the senses interplay and inform different qualities of neighbor relations. Starting from the individual home space and moving to the space of the stair-case shared with other residents who live next door, below, or above, the article argues that neighbor relations constitute a practical embodied e…
Making Neighbor Relations Through Materialities and Senses
Many scholars have turned to neighboring, or neighbor interactions and practices, as an open-ended process rather than a finished ideal. In doing so, they have disrupted the romanticization of the neighborhood as a community-driven and stable space. Through this lens, the proximity of dwelling is seen just as a possibility for social contact rather than a crucial characteristic of neighbor relations. Amid the rapid transformations in contemporary…

Migration, place-making and the rescaling of urban space
The purpose of this article is to contribute to a refined perspective on how the practices of everyday life can challenge existing spatial scale relations, as well as produce new ones, and how this in turn can be addressed by planning. The investigation is based on a discussion of empirical studies dealing with the role of migrants in processes of place-making and urban transformation. In the article, we look particularly at how migrants challeng…
At åbne op og lukke ned: Rum, mennesker og relationer i en blandet bydel i Malmø, Sverige
The neighbourhood of Sofielund in Malm. is marked by diversity in terms of its population and its varying architecture and types of housing. It is also marked by social divisions, including poverty, housing exploitations and criminality. Over time, a large number of interventions have been implemented to better the situation. The interventions are, among other things, inspired by the Business Improvement District (BID) model and include efforts t…

Fra »udsat boligområde« til »ghetto«: Udviklingen i nationale og lokale forestillinger om sociale boligområder og urban diversitet i Danmark
I løbet af de sidste to årtier har diskurser om »ghettoisering« og »parallelsamfund« vundet politisk terræn i Danmark. Diskurserne afspejler, hvordan forskellige politikområder som by og bolig, indvandring og integration i tiltagende grad har krydset hinanden siden integrationslovgivningens tilblivelse. Med udgangspunkt i en analyse af dokumenter fra regeringen og Københavns Kommune fra 1995-2018 udforsker denne artikel, hvordan nationale og loka…
Governing urban diversity through myths of national sameness – a comparative analysis of Denmark and Sweden
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore problematisations of urban diversity in urban and integration policies in Denmark and Sweden; the paper aims to show how such policies express social imaginaries about the self and the other and underlying assumptions of sameness that legitimise diverging ways of managing urban diversity and (re)organising the city. Design/methodology/approach Inspired by anthropology of policy and post-structural a…

There is no racism here’: Public discourses on racism, immigrants and integration in Denmark
Jensen, Weibel and Vitus's article critically discusses contemporary Danish policies aimed at the elimination of ethnoracial discrimination, drawing on policy analyses and qualitative interviews with local and national authorities in Denmark. It illustrates how questions of discrimination and racism are marginalized and de-legitimized within the dominant integration discourse, resulting in the marginalization of anti-racism in policymaking. The s…
Neither Trust Nor Distrust: Social relations in a multi-ethnic neighbourhood in Copenhagen
This article deals with the politicised notions of trust and social cohesion in urban spaces through a focus on practices of everyday relations in a mixed neighbourhood. Quantitative studies maintain that ethnically diverse neighbourhoods lack in trust and solidarity. However, the very meaning and effect of concepts such as 'diversity', 'contact' and 'trust' are often unclear. This article challenges both the politicised assumptions and methodolo…

The complexity of neighbourhood relations in a multiethnic social housing project in Copenhagen
This article examines the nature of coexistence in a multiethnic social housing project in Copenhagen, focusing on neighbourhood relations between majority Danes and ethnic minorities. Despite the general assumption that ethnic majorities and minorities have no neighbourhood relations, this case study reveals multifarious ways of relationship-making. Whereas the residents tended to emphasise separation between ethnic groups, their everyday practi…
Context, focus and new perspectives in the study of Muslim religiosity
This paper examines Muslim religiosities by focusing on the variety of Islam classes offered by Muslim organizations in Denmark. More specifically, the paper highlights conditions for studying religiosity among Muslims in Denmark, and suggests new focus areas. The paper argues against an 'ethnic' approach to Islam and Muslim institutions in Western societies in favour of a more general analytical and theoretical framework. This perspective involv…
The Cartoon Affair and the Question of Cultural Diversity in Denmark
This article relates the Danish cartoon affair to the question of cultural diversity. The argument is that the Danish position on cultural diversity constitutes a paradox between multiculturalism and assimilation, which reflects tensions between notions of equality and difference. The cartoon affair illustrates the tensions that follow when difference becomes reality. In this way, the cartoon affair both expresses tensions in attitudes towards mu…
To Be 'Danish', Becoming 'Muslim: Contestations of National Identity
This article discusses the relationship between national, ethnic and religious identities as embodied by so-called ethnic Danes who convert to Islam. The point of departure is the constructed polarisation between Islam and the West. The article explores how converts experience their apparently contradictory identities as ‘Danish’ and ‘Muslim’. Identity is dealt with as processes of both difference and similarity, whereby the constructions of ‘sel…
