Un-guided journeys: Tracing the multi-layered temporalities of Amager Commons in Copenhagen, Denmark
Based on collective walks, this article explores the entangled, multi-layered temporalities of Amager Commons, and how these might offer possibilities for new relationships with urban environments. The article draws on and contributes to scholarship on arts-based, collaborative methodologies, urban nature-cultures, and more-than-human temporalities. Having been used as common farmland, a garbage dump, and a shooting ground for the military, today…
Walking with sheep, dancing with dragonflies: Moving-with multispecies ecologies
Based on the authors’ fieldwork with sheep and dragonflies, this article explores multispecies methods as moving-with multispecies ecologies. Apart from being scholars, both authors are performance practitioners engaging with more-than-human environments. As a part of an art exhibition in 2015, Charlotte did a performative walk with a sheep for 5 weeks, intra-acting with the sheep and the other human and non-human animals inhabiting the heath, th…
Diversity tourists'? Tracing whiteness through affective encounters with diversity in a gentrifying district in Copenhagen
This article develops the diversity tourist as an analytical figure to explore how middle-class whiteness emerges through encounters with racialized diversity in gentrifying urban space. Drawing on interviews with white middle-class Danish residents in Copenhagen’s Nordvest district, I examine how whiteness takes shape through affective ambivalence and negotiations of proximity and distance. My informants live in Nordvest, but see themselves as p…
Eastern European”, Yes, but How? Autoethnographic Accounts of Differentiated Whiteness
This article examines how intersecting markers of difference shape differentiated whiteness. In so doing, it contributes to scholarship on whiteness and racialization. The authors draw on autoethnographic vignettes from fieldwork in Copenhagen to analyse the emergence of similar-yet-divergent researcher and migrant positionalities. Both authors are female researchers from Baltic countries living in Denmark and often perceived as Eastern Europeans…

Recruited into Danishness? Affective autoethnography of passing as Danish
This article critically examines emergence of Danishness via an autoethnography of passing as Danish. Drawing on feminist scholarship, the author conceptualizes passing as an embodied, affective and discursive relation; simultaneously spontaneous and laboured, fleeting and solid, emergent and constrained by past becomings. Once positioned as a young female uneducated Eastern European love migrant in Denmark, the author now usually passes as an ac…
Cultivating Integration'? Migrant Space-making in Urban Gardens
Organized cultural encounters manage difference, conduct, time and space. Yet, alternative social spaces emerge besides these scripts. This article explores migrant space-making in integration gardens, an urban gardening association in Copenhagen aiming to ‘dismantle social and cultural boundaries’. The space of the gardens is multilayered. Firstly, it operates as an integration grid – a homogenizing-organized cultural encounter evolving around a…

Carnivorous heterotopias: Gender, nostalgia and hipsterness in the Copenhagen meat scene
The past years have seen an upsurge of burger and barbecue restaurants in a Copenhagen gastronomic scene otherwise dominated by trends toward sustainability, ‘wholesome’, local and organic food. In these new spaces, meat is glorified and consumed materially and symbolically (through design and decorations), appeasing a presumed masculine appetite and conveying ideas about masculine, carnivorous bonding/community and a masculine, heterosexual, mid…
Besides Conviviality: Paradoxes in being 'at ease' with diversity in a Copenhagen district
This article critically discusses conviviality, a concept increasingly used to denote unproblematic encounters with diversity. It is examined how conviviality has travelled in the literature, at times acquiring utopian and normative dimensions. Inconsistencies are demonstrated in the literature with regard to whether conviviality is elaborated as fundamental or 'small'/local, overarching or counter-narrative, harmonious or (also) conflictual, unp…
