The ’Ghetto’ strikes back: Resisting welfare sanctions and stigmatizing categorizations in marginalized residential areas in Denmark”
The Danish social housing sector is currently being restructured by national strategies that seek to combat so-called ‘parallel societies’. These strategies entail especially two things: (1) tearing down and/or privatizing social housing in marginalized and vulnerable neighbourhoods and (2) repressive strategies of governance which focus on ethnic minorities, restricting their choices of schools, kindergartens and interactions with social service…
From fighting animals to the biosocial mechanisms of the human mind: A comparison of Selten's social defeat and Mead's symbolic interaction
Social defeat is a psychiatric theory accounting for the role of social environment in the aetiology of psychosis via the mechanism of stress. Social defeat stems from animal studies of stress, whereby a small rat is introduced into a larger rat's cage and is subsequently attacked and defeated by its larger foe. The defeated rat is subjected to behavioural and hormonal analyses to explore its stress levels. The idea is that social defeat leads to…
Translating Inclusion
The purpose of this article is to explore how practices of translation shape particular paths of inclusion for people living in marginalized residential areas in Denmark. Inclusion, we argue, is not an end-state but rather something that must be constantly performed. Active citizenship, today, is not merely a question of participation but also learning to become active in all spheres of life. The article draws on empirical examples from a multisi…
Making responsible residents: On 'responsibilization' within local community work in marginalized residential areas in Denmark
This article explores how the local community projects in marginalized residential areas in Denmark attempt to make 'responsible' residents. It has commonly been argued that contemporary governance is inflected with responsibilization, often understood as the ambition to make citizens self-responsible and independent from the welfare state. However, much less attention has been paid to how such responsibilization is accomplished in practice. The …
From social to socio-material pathologies: On Latour, subjectivity and materiality
This article produces an encounter between the concept of 'social pathology' and the work of the philosopher Bruno Latour. It offers an introduction to Latour's style of thought with regard to subjectivity. It argues that subjectivity is not an interiorized property of people, but a processual accomplishment from associating with different actors, which may be human or non-human. Subjectivity, from this point of view, exists in the interstice bet…
