Resumé
Domestication of Difference
This article employs Hage’s concept of “domestication” as a lens for understanding how various forms of civic engagement among Coptic, Assyrian, and Chaldean Christian migrant communities in Denmark reproduce and contest a Danish model of citizenship, a particular construction of both the national subject and its Others. While churches are a primary place for civic engagement among Middle Eastern Christians as an ethnoreligious group, internally …
Organised Cultural Encounters
Between Representation and Subjectivity
Religious actors and bodies from within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark have increasingly adopted interreligious dialogue as an instrument dealing with changes of the religious landscape due to immigration, religious radicalisation and secularisation. Without any formal body representing the entire church, interreligious dialogue emerges from a variety of initiatives. Whereas these can be divided between religious leaders’ versus peopl…
Orchestrated Turnarounds
Classing religion, resourcing women
Approaching Islam as a discursive terrain, this article challenges the tacit understanding of Islam as a repressor in young women's lives and argues that well-educated, young female Muslims in Denmark use a discursive distinction between "real" Islam and "misguided" ethno-cultural traditions to challenge restrictive gender norms. Inspired by research on everyday lived religion and lived Islam, we show how the women-backed by their middle-class id…
Routes and relations in Scandinavian interfaith forums
In the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, as elsewhere in Europe, governance of religious diversity has become a matter of renewed concern. A unique aspect of the Scandinavian situation is the hegemonic status of the respective Lutheran Protestant majority churches, usually referred to as ‘folk churches’, with which the majority of the population associates, alongside a prevalence of high degrees of regional secularism. As suc…
Organised Cultural Encounters
The article introduces the special issue by presenting the concept of organised cultural encounters that are encounters organised to manage and/or transform problems perceived to originate in or include cultural differences. Inspired by Pratt’s conceptualisation of the contact zone, a critical perspective on the particular historical and spatial context of any encounter and how this context frames and mediates what takes place during an encounter…
Middle Eastern Christian Spaces in Europe
Despite little scholarly attention, Middle Eastern Christian Churches are a well-established element of the European religious landscape. Based on collaborative research, this article examines how three mutual field visits facilitated a deeper understanding of the complexity that characterises church establishment and activities among Iraqi, Assyrian/Syriac and Coptic Orthodox Christians in the uk , Sweden and Denmark. Exploring analytical dimens…
Coptic Christian practices
Phrases such as ‘the only difference is one of faith’ construct Copts and Muslims in Egypt as, although different, mainly the same as each other. Similar constructions of sameness are also dominant in historical and current Egyptian narratives on national unity. However, as a result of the privileging of sameness and the underplaying of differences, the interaction between narratives of sameness and difference has been left unexplored and partly …
Transnational Experiences
Globalisation, migration and modern technology mean that it is possible to talk about today’s society as stretching beyond the borders of nation states. Is this basic insight of transnational studies also valid if the borders are those of a predominantly Muslim Middle East and an increasingly migrant-hostile Europe? If so, what features does the transnational experience of Middle Eastern migrants in Europe have? A number of scholars set out to in…
Guardians of contested borders. Transnational Strategies for Coptic Survival
Coptic interpretations of the status of Copts in Egypt affect their trans-national strategies and their gender constructs embedded in their minority discourses. In particular, different Coptic transnational organisations and their negotiations of Coptic identity are influential

Indvandrer og medborger - om politisk deltagelse blandt etniske minoritetskvinder
Kvinde eller etnisk minoritet? I hvor høj grad indvandrerkvinder er politiske aktører, afhænger af de samfundsmæssige processer hvori positionerne som indvandrer, medborger og minoriteter skabes
