Keeping the Snout in the Plough Furrow
In recent years the concept of performance (in the sense of effort) has come under criticism in Danish societal debates due to its dubious relation to increasingly widespread illnesses such as depression and stress. While acknowledging these potentially harmful consequences, we argue in this article that performance in itself is not necessarily a bad thing, yet it needs to unfold within a particular temporal logic in order to be both possible and…
Modern Folk Devils
The devilish has long been integral to myths, legends, and folklore, firmly located in the relationships between good and evil, and selves and others. But how are ideas of evil constructed in current times and framed by contemporary social discourses? Modern Folk Devils builds on and works with Stanley Cohen’s theory on folk devils and moral panics to discuss the constructions of evil. The authors present an array of case-studies that illustrate …
Peripheral Methodologies
Peripheral methodologies unlearning, not-knowing and ethnographic limits
How does peripherality challenge methodology and theory-making? This book examines how the peripheral can be incorporated into ethnographic research, and reflects on what it means to be on the periphery-ontologically and epistemologically. Starting from the premise that clarity and fixity as ideals of modernity prevent us from approaching that which cannot be easily captured and framed into scientific boundaries, the book argues for remaining on …
Waiting for Nothing
Uncanny valleys
This article uses the idea of the 'uncanny valley' - the revulsion that people feel when looking at a human facsimile or lookalike - to examine the eerie atmosphere in refugee camps. The authors argue that by considering the underlying engineering of camps as almost, but never quite cities and the social and political formations that produce them as both abstractions and rationalized action, we come closer to understanding the pervasive sense of …
Joyful pessimism
Studies of marginality have examined how individuals or groups are distanced from a hoped-for life as a result of structural, economic, or political circumstances, and how this may result in unwanted experiences of boredom. Th is article critically reexamines this perspective by juxtaposing it with an empirical description of a group of young Georgian nihilists who live in a sphere of disengaged repetition where turning the future into something …

Ethnographies of Youth and Temporality
"As we experience and manipulate time...be it as boredom or impatience...it becomes an object: something materialized and social, something that affects perception, or something that may motivate reconsideration and change. The editors and contributors to this important new book, Ethnographies of Youth and Temporality, have provided a diverse collection of ethnographic studies and theoretical explorations of youth experiencing time in a variety o…
Ethnographies of Youth and Temporality
The Would-Be State
In the wake of the 2003 revolution in Georgia, the speed of reform in the sphere of psychosocial aid meant that a range of international donors left the country, believing that the services provided by local NGOs, whom they had been supporting, were now taken over by the state. However, many of the reforms and institutional changes officially initiated during this period were never implemented. Hence, an array of present-day problems remained unr…
To Russia with love
Among young unemployed or underemployed men in the port city of Batumi, the regional center of the Autonomous Republic of Ajara in Georgia, the Black Sea is a social and imaginary horizon that signifies both geographical mobility and confinement. Since Georgia gained independence, Batumi went from being a Soviet borderland to being an opening to the West. However, due to visa regulations, "the West"-and the opportunities associated with it-has lo…
Out of Conclusion
Based on long-term fieldwork in Northeast Brazil and the Republic of Georgia, this article explores how open-endedness can be incorporated into ethnographic analysis and writing, not as the empirical object, but as a basic condition for knowledge production. In the empirical contexts that we describe, daily life is marked by poor prospects and the absence of possibility, especially for young people. Rather than letting this guide our analyses, th…

Well-faring towards Uncertain Futures
The article explores how societal contexts create different possibilities for faring well towards the future for young marginalized people. Based on a comparative project including ethnographies from Brazil, Uganda, Georgia and Denmark the authors discuss well-faring as a time-oriented process based on individual as well as societal conditions. The article argues that in order to understand well-faring it is important to analyse how visions and s…
Marginaliseret tid
Martin Demant Frederiksen: Marginaliseret tid - materialitet, fremtid og håb i Georgien For arbejdsløse unge i Georgien byder fremtiden på få muligheder. Selv om den georgiske regering gang på gang proklamerer, at fremtiden for landet er lys, føler mange unge ikke, at det er en fremtid, som de er en del af. Denne artikel beskriver en række statslige byggeprojekter i det vestlige Georgien og måderne, hvorpå disse bliver omtalt af regeringen og lok…

Temporality in participation and observation
Whereas the notion of time has usually been seen as an analytical concept, this article focuses issues of time and temporality as methodological tools in anthropological fieldwork. Based on empirical examples from Albania and the Republic of Georgia, the article explores issues of observation and participation in relation to time seen objectively as history and change, that is, time passing by leaving various signs of alteration, and time as a su…
