Practicing excitement, aggression and anger in senior leisure sports
Using qualitative interviews and an interpretive lens inspired by relational sociology of practice, this article explores the social practices of excitement, aggression, and anger in senior leisure sports games. The article contributes to the literature with new empirical knowledge about social processes producing and regulating expressions of excitement, aggression, and anger among recreational senior players (aged 60+). Our findings show that e…
Angry Place Claims and the Deceptive Female Body
In this article, we explore bodily challenges women can experience when making angry place claims in social interactions based on interviews with 47 women across two generations and Candace Clark's concepts of social place claims and micro-hierarchy. Our empirical analysis explores situations where women experience that their bodies negatively affect the reception of their anger and the enclosed challenges they experience in claiming an 'angry pl…
Homecoming as a Gendered Practice in Danish Military Families
This article explores the complicated process of post-deployment homecoming in military families in Denmark. Based on qualitative interviews with spouses and children of formerly deployed soldiers, the article analyses some of the main challenges related to homecoming and military-to-family transitions in military families. It illuminates how deployment affects family practices and social relations by especially focusing on gender equality, fathe…
Complex spaces of involvement during and after paternal deployment: Danish children's emotions and relationships with their fathers
A growing body of research indicates that children of formerly deployed soldiers are at risk of experiencing negative outcomes, but studies are lacking in terms of the exploration of children's emotions from their own perspective. This article is based on qualitative interviews with 26 children (age 7-20) from 19 Danish families with formerly deployed fathers. The children's emotions are complex and ambiguous. While deployment leads to a distance…

Doing care work on the fly - exploring the unnoticed socio-emotional skills of male ambulance staff
Prehospital ambulance work is a healthcare arena hitherto neglected by sociologists of health and illness. This is unfortunate because it is an interesting and dynamic area, and in contrast to most healthcare sectors, it is male dominated. Via ethnographic fieldwork, this article examines the particular caring practices and socio-emotional skills that ambulance staff use in practising prehospital care work. The empirical analysis outlines six rec…

Masculinity Ideals in a Contemporary Danish Context
What are the prevailing masculinity ideals among contemporary Danish men? As one of the Nordic welfare states, Denmark has for decades focused on gender equality and changes in the gendered division of labour. Research has suggested a shift in masculinity ideals, but processes of change comprise not only changes but also continuities, as well as ambivalences and contradictions. This article investigates how normative masculinity ideals—the most a…
Ambulancearbejde, sikkerhed og maskuline rekonfigurationer: Etnografiske fortællinger om kulturelle praksisser under forandring
Trods den vedvarende kønnede ulighed i forekomsten af arbejdsulykker og utallige studiers beskrivelser af sammenhæng mellem maskulinitet og risikoadfærd, har kun ganske få studier undersøgt sammenhængen mellem mænds køns- og sikkerhedspraksis på arbejde. Baseret på 575 timers etnografisk feltarbejde og 20 interviews med mandlige ambulancereddere belyser denne artikel nogle centrale sammenhænge mellem mandlige ambulanceredderes maskulinitets- og s…
Physical and psychosocial work environment factors and their association with health outcomes in Danish ambulance personnel – a cross-sectional study
Ambulance personnel have similar levels of mental health but substantially higher levels of musculoskeletal pain than the work force in general. They are more exposed to emotional demands and these demands are associated with higher levels of poor mental health and poor sleep quality. To improve work environment, attention should be paid to musculoskeletal problems and the presence of positive organizational support mechanisms that can prevent ne…
