RADIKAL FORTOLKNING: Humanistisk teori ved årtusindskiftet
Authors: Hastrup Kirsten
Published: September 2021

The renaissance view of humans as ffee and

responsible agents is the starting point for

this article that seeks to delineate the task of

the humanities today, at an age which has had

to accept the fail of Objectivism. The time is

marked by a switch from seeing the task of

science in general as one of clarifying what is

already there, in nature, to seeing it as a kind

of radical interpretation that adds its own

layer of understanding, and thereby of

reality, to the object. The conclusion is that

the object of study for the human Sciences

cannot and should not be seen in naturalistic

terms; instead we have to work with fluid

objects and ontologies that seriously

question the disciplinary boundaries

established in the nineteenth century.
LYKKELIGST AT HVILE PÅ...

Published: September 2021

This article assesses the perennial and

perhaps unquenchable thirst for the

anecdotal in anthropological research and

reflection. Our informants, who may not give

us long interviews or life histories, tell us,

nevertheless, rich anecdotes in everyday

conversations. Their choices of anecdotes

become our key indices. Ruth Benedict and

E.E. Evans-Pritchard are the article’s chief

cases. The social function of memory is

significant, and the article urges paying

attention to etymologies, especially of the

word “anecdote”, which literally means

“unpublished” and alludes to the secretive

that cannot be kept secret. The anecdote

becomes public but maintains its intimacy.

Both the telling and the told enter into the

pictorial, illustrative summation. The

iconographic method of art and literary

historians is akin to ethnographic method.

By recognizing and cultivating this kinship,

we become betler craftsmen in anthropology.

Vividness is inherent in theory.

DANSK TONE: Ekkoet af danskhed?
Authors: Lønstrup Ansa
Published: September 2021

This article makes a comparison between two Danish singers or two vocal objects: Aksel Schiøtz, a famous and international tenor in the bel-canto tradition (1906-75) singing songs from "the Danish treasure of songs" and Lars H.U.G.: a rocksinger and composer, born in 1953 and known (only) in Denmark in the 80’es and 90’es as a renewer of Danish rockmusic and lyrics. In this comparison the focus is on the listening to the voices and their treatments of the Danish languange – thus questioning whether we may speak of "the sound of Danish", "Danish tone" or "echo of Danishness" and whether this relation between oral national language and music vocational articulation is fixed, or whether it is – like the society on a whole – permanently changing and ex-changing with other "tongues" in our late-modern, multicultural society.

NOGLE TANKER OMKRING FLYTNING
Authors: Ramløv Kirsten
Published: September 2021

The process of moving objects or belongings

from one place to another very often implies

the necessity of selection. This article deals

with two very different situations of moving.

The first one concerns the complete removal

of objects from the Ethnographic Collection

during the rebuilding of the National

Museum in Copenhagen in the early 1990’s

and the subsequent reorganisation

of them in

the new permanent exhibitions. The second

situation is an ordinary change of address.

In the museum situation, the necessity

of selection did not occur until decisions

were made as to which objects were to be

displayed in order to reflect cultural themes

of the region in question. In the situation

of the change of address, the selecting

process started immediately. Because of the

representative and communicative potentials

of objects, considerations of identity usually

accompanied the choices, whether, as in

the first case, the identity of the objects

concerned a cultural universe, or, as in the

second case, was connected with a person.

TINGENE SLADRER: En ganske uvidenskabelig tur gennem danskernes trang til kollektiv individualisme
Authors: Hansen Jørn Duus
Published: September 2021

In our modern life we are surrounded by

thousands of objects. In between them they

form innumerable and complex patterns

by which one person distinguishes himself

or herself from an other with respect to

objects, food, clothes, the home, cars. This

is how separate ethnies, territories or clubs

are formed, with more or less identical

collections of objects. It seems as if we wish

to be in a region (“them and us”) and at the

same time be independent beings within the

region (“you and me”). We all are something

owing to our objects. Or is it the other way

around? Are our objects something owing

to the other objects they are combined

with? We might have chosen them, but,

nevertheless, they seem to chose each other!

And might it not be that the objects can

change their connotation, simply by being

moved into another region or territory ? It is

particular modern things which distinguish

the region of modern life from the region of

traditional, folk life. There are objects which

distinguish one modern space from another.

I am speaking about faint nuances, but they

are obvious to the user and the viewer. Social

individualism is far more widespread than

authentic originality individualism. Among

the younger members of the population,

an ironic sense of originality is emerging,

where very popular, folk things suddenly

are considered original by being combined

in new and very unfolklike fashions. Is this

to be understood as a protest against the

canons of elitist judgements? Or is it simply

to be understood as a desire to rediscover the

traditional folk ways?

FELTARBEJDETS FORPLIGTELSER: Deltagelse og kritik blandt sateré-mawé-immigranter i Manaus, Brasilien
Authors: Groes-Green Christian
Published: September 2021

Current studies of human poverty and

suffering seem to lack reflexivity on the

kinds of alternatives or solutions that

might be found in the local context of

study. By reference to experiences from

fieldwork among indigenous Sateré-Mawé

immigrants in Manaus, Brazil it is illustrated

how “participation” as an anthropological

method is more than a tool for collecting

ethno-graphic data. It is a practice like any

other, involving social obligations towards

our informants and a necessary engagement

in the field of study. As an inseparable

part of the production of anthropological

know-ledge this engagement should be

more explicitly addressed and reflected

in anthropological writing and in the very

idea of the anthropological project. If

this engagement is properly reflected and

addressed, a constructive anthropological

critique might evolve that points to viable

solutions to the social problems and sufferings

encountered. Re-inscribing “participation”

in the anthropological project as fundamental

to any knowledge might also remind us that

fieldwork, like any other social engagement,

is fraught with social obligations that do

not vanish with theoretical distance and

abstraction.

NÅR „PENGE“ ER ANDET OG MERE END PENGE: Røde fjerruller på Reef Øerne
Authors: Pinholdt Jens
Published: September 2021

Until the middle of the 20th century red feather rolls were an important and highly

visible aspect of social life in the the Northern Santa Cruz Islands comprising Nendö,

Reef Islands and Duff Islands. These rolls, commonly but misleadingly known and

referred to as “red feather money” even in anthropological literature, by the 1970s had

nearly gone out of use and by the 1990s they had disappeared. In this historical

reconstruction the red feather rolls are viewed in their heyday in their regional as well

as their local social context. The ethnographic knowledge behind the reconstruction is

based on all the available sources of the precolonial and colonial periods, the major

anthropological analyses of the 1960s and the 1970s and my own fieldwork data

established after 1973. The anthropological analysis of the material takes guidance

from Maurice Godelier (1978) who points out that valuables in primitive society often

have a dual character, they are both commodities and gifts; and from Kajsa Ekholm

(1978) who states that power relations in tribal societies are largely established,

consolidated and maintained through the control of valuables. Red feather rolls played

an important part in the regional trading system connecting the Northern Santa Cruz

Islands. This peculiar form of valuable was only produced in the rich central island of

Nendö from where it was taken to the more marginal islands as part of the inter-island

trading, usually in exchange of women. The big trading canoes were only built in the

Duff Islands and had to be for paid in red feather rolls. They were owned and sailed by

the leading big-men in the Western Reef Islands who accordingly were able to exercise

considerable control over the influx and the flow internally of the feather rolls. Feather

rolls were indispensable in the gift-exchanges accompanying all major social ceremonies

and events such as bridewealth, compensations and life-cycle ceremonies. So a generous

local big-man could use his feather rolls for the benefit of his relatives and favoured

friends who were in need of it, and at the same time he would make them into his loyal

supporters. In this social system, control of the unique valuable was the major road to

respect and influence, even to power, for the big-man. The red feather rolls were part

of an intricate local social order which depended for its reproduction on the regional

trading system. But all this had to disappear when market economy based on western

money, Christian influence, and colonial control took over. The regional trading system

collapsed; the red feather rolls lost their significance and the big-men the base of their

power.
Fratrædelsesforelæsning: ANTROPOLOGISKE DILEMMAER: Mellem kulturradikalisme og venstreorientalisme
Authors: Liep John
Published: September 2021

This lecture is in three main parts. The first describes the author’s background in a

provincial middle class family and the leftish values he absorbed from what is now

called “cultural radicalism”. His discontent with his life in urban, capitalist society led

him to study anthropology in the belief that “natural” societies of “happiness” could be

found far out in the world. The second part briefly characterizes cultural radicalism as

a field of progressive intellectual movements in Denmark from the 1920s that fought

for the liberation of women, sexuality and the education of children. Danish cultural

radicals took an interest in anthropology already during the 30s, when Malinowski’s

discovery of free sex in the Trobriands was celebrated, and throughout the 1950s when

books by Benedict and Mead on cultural relativity and child training were translated.

With the great expansion of the middle class from the 50s the ideas of cultural radicalism

deeply changed modern Danish cultural values and institutions. The third part is a

critique of what I call “left-wing orientalism”. Cultural relativism was used as a cultural

critique of our own society in order to call for reforms. In left-wing orientalism this

stance is petrified so that only our society is “wrong” while all the “others” must not be

criticized. I discuss three examples of this in anthropology: the general uncritical

acceptance of the policies of indigenous movements; the post-colonial “retrospective

retouching” of unseemly earlier practices such as cannibalism and, finally, the readiness

of anthropologists in Denmark to put the blame for ethnic tensions in the country on

the Danes only and their reluctance to take a critical stance to the patriarchal suppression

of women and its religious legitimation that young immigrants now themselves speak

out against.

SHAMANEN, JOMFRUEN OG SKATTEVÆSENET: Portræt af en mirakelmager fra det sydlige Chile
Authors: Kristensen Dorthe Brogaard
Published: September 2021

This article presents the case of the shaman José Karipan, who is considered one

of the most powerful and popular shamans in southern Chile. The article explores

the success of his practice as a healer, by analyzing the relationship between healing,

identity and the socio-economic and political context of Southern Chile. It is

argued that shamanistic medical practice is so popular among patients in Southern

Chile due to its sensitivity to their historical past and socio-political reality. The

shaman’s practice and figure build upon symbols and aspects of his social environment;

the shaman is Roman Catholic and claims to receive his healing power

from the Virgin of Carmen, the national saint of Chile. Furthermore, he is publicly

known for a conflict with the local taxation authorities, who accuse him of

failing to claim tax for his income as a healer. These factors serve to challenge

the logic of the Chilean state but also show how the shaman’s personal practices

are embedded inside the logic of the state, and draw upon national symbols as

a source of power.
KALD OG DRØMMESTOF: Parcelhusets værdier
Authors: Sjørslev Inger
Published: September 2021

The values attached to privately owned single-family houses in Denmark are

analyzed as social processes that join private and public in a mode which Max

Weber’s concept of vocation can illuminate. The house represents ethics and

moral values linked with economics and ideas about investment in the future.

Practices aimed at improving and maintaining the house interact with the dominant

moral of society. At the same time, the house is a locus of dreams and consumption.

Applying Weber’s concept of vocation and Collin Campbell’s ideas about

a romantic ethic related to consumption and day- dreaming, the article interprets

practices surrounding the house, with the conclusion that the house is embedded

in a set of contradictory forces consisting of dream material and wider social,

moral obligations.

NÅR HJEMME ER UDE: Betydningen og skabelsen af hjem i naturen blandt homesteadere i Oregon, USA
Authors: Jakobsen Gry Skrædderdal
Published: September 2021

Based on fi eldwork among homesteaders in the US Pacifi c Northwest, this article

explores particular ways in which home is created and sustained in the light

of the homesteaders’ ideals of becoming one with nature. The article focuses on

how construction of houses is guided by such ideals and shows how the merging

of home and nature is also taking place at a mundane level in social interaction.

When building a house the homesteaders are seeking to discard standard urban

ideas about which materials to use and how to furnish houses. In a long debate

about how to deal with the fact that rats have entered the common kitchen, naturalisation

and humanisation of both people and animals are employed in order

to create a common ground. In sum the article argues that the homesteaders’

practises are serving both their effort to stand out from “mainstream” or “suburban”

America as part of an ideological project to establish alternative ways of

living, and that they also express a more existential struggle to create spaces of

harmony and personal control in a modern world characterised by consumerism

and globalisation.

KRÆFTPATIENTERS BRUG AF REIKI-HEALING SOM MAGISK PRAKSIS
Authors: Boelsbjerg Hanne Bess
Published: September 2021

Almost half the number of Danish cancer patients are involved in alternative or

complementary treatments while receiving conventional cancer treatment. reikihealing

is one of the alternative treatments they often seek out. It is a treatment that

has a spiritual and holistic approach to both the person and the illness, claiming to

transmit energy from the hands of the healer to the one being healed. This creates

a contradiction with the concurrent use of conventional treatment which rests on

a biomedical understanding of cause and effect. In this context, the use of reikihealing

can be regarded as a kind of magical practice by cancer patients, who

might not necessarily share the same underlying worldview as the reiki-healer. The

basis for this article is a qualitative study called ‘Reiki-healing as Experienced by

Cancer Patients’, undertaken at the University of Copenhagen and financed by the

Danish Cancer Foundation. Here the cancer patients reported their experiences

during reiki-healing and were asked to describe how they understood the treatment

and what effects it had for them. Most of them referred to the healer as a gifted

person who has the power to influence their minds and bodies or, notably, the

way they conceive of themselves. These statements support the interpretation of

reiki-healing as a magical practice, which is characterized by the placement of

a magical agency as one of the components of a ritual – in this case, the healer.

If the cancer patient shares the same holistic approach as the healer, the use of

reiki-healing can turn out to be a spiritual or religious coping strategy, which

helps the person to find meaning and support in times of crisis. In both examples,

reiki-healing is used as a magical practise because of the opportunity it offers

to influence the illness and life situation, which otherwise would be beyond the

reach of conventional medicine.

Ormehuller: Strejftog i militære fremtidsfore- stillinger
Authors: Kotnis Sita Ramchandra
Published: September 2021

I amerikansk militærforskning optræder „fremtiden“ som et centralt begreb, som imidlertid anvendes på to meget forskellige måder. På den ene side refererer man til fremtiden som en tom, tidslig kategori i betydningen „uindtruffen temporalitet“. På den anden side tjener fremtiden også som et strategisk begreb, der, allerede indfoldet i en konkret nutidig praksis, eksplicit anvendes til at navigere i nutiden. For en antropologisk håndtering af denne dobbelte betydning af „fremtid“ synes der imidlertid at være behov for en mere operationel konceptualisering, der er egnet til at analysere modaliteterne i konkrete og pragmatiske militære „settings“ og kan bruges til at undersøge, hvordan fremtiden figurerer i samtiden. Gennem en læsning af henholdsvis Paul Virilios teorier om beskaffenheden af det hypermoderne og Donna Haraways brug af begreberne „metafor“, „kodning“ og „ormehul“ etablerer artiklen således en teoretisk forståelsesramme for studiet af, hvordan konstruktionen af „fremtiden“ indvirker på militærstrategisk forskningspraksis. Denne sættes efterfølgende i spil i forhold til USA’s mest spektakulære forskningsagentur, DARPA. Sita Ramchandra Kotnis: Worm Holes: Operations in Military Represen- tations of the Future The ‘future’ is a crucial concept within American military research. It can be employed, however, in two radically different ways. On the one hand, the future refers to an empty, temporal category in the sense of a time that ‘has not yet occurred’. On the other hand, the concept of the future serves in a strategic capacity, as a dimension that is already enrolled in a concrete, contemporary practice, explicitly used to navigate and negotiate the present. An anthropological handling of this dual significance, however, seems to require a more operational deployment of the future as a concept specifically suited for a pragmatic analysis of such modalities in concrete military settings. Through readings in Paul Virilio’s theories of hyper-modernity and Donna Haraway’s use of concepts such as metaphor, coding and worm hole, the article seeks to establish a theoretical framework for investigations into the construction of the future and their impact on strategic military research practice. Subsequently, this framework is tentatively brought to bear upon the most spectacular American research agency, DARPA, thereby outlining a possible analytical approach.Keywords: Future, military research, hypermodernity, technoscience, DARPA, worm holes
Kun et skelet tilbage: Objektivering, tid og sex et sted i Nordøstbrasilien
Authors: Dalsgaard Anne Line
Published: September 2021

Artiklen tager udgangspunkt i forfatterens nære kendskab til den unge kvinde Evinha, som bor i et lavindkomstområde i storbyen Recife i Nordøstbrasilien. Samtidig beskriver artiklen den ydmygelse, fattige borgere i Brasilien udsættes for, når deres familiemedlemmers knogler hældes i bendepotet efter halvandet års ophold i en unavngivet grav på den offentlige kirkegård. Artiklen sammenbinder Evinhas lyst til sex og seksuel objektivering med beskrivelsen af bendepotet i et dristigt argument om subjektets tilblivelse i blikket fra den anden og en eksistentiel balancering af oplevelser af objektivering. Argument bygger til dels på spekulation og kvalificerede gæt, for som forfatteren skriver, visse ting i livet lader sig sjældent italesætte, men må udledes af fortielser og antydninger.  Anne Line Dalsgaard: Only a Skeleton left The article takes as its starting point the author’s close acquaintance to the young woman, Evinha, who lives in a low-income neighbourhood of Recife, Northeast Brazil. The article then describes the humiliation experienced by empoverished Brazilian citizens, whose relatives’ bones are thrown into the cemetery’s depository after one and a half year in an unnamed grave. The article connects Evinha’s desire for sex and sexual objectification with the description of the bone depository. This requires a bold argument that proposes the emergence of the subject in the gaze of the other and the existential balancing of the experiences of objectification. The argument is admittedly speculative and results from qualified guessing, since, as the author writes, certain things in life are difficult to put into words and can only be inferred from silences and hints.

Klimaforandringer: Perspektiv og skala i studiet af det høje nord
Authors: Hastrup Kirsten
Published: September 2021

Klima og klimaforandringer er blevet nye store temaer i antropologien, og det er påtrængende at stille kritiske spørgsmål til brugen af disse begreber, der synes at indeholde både konkret (lokalt) vejr og abstrakt (globalt) klima. Spørgsmålet er, hvordan man kan bruge „klimaet“ strategisk og produktivt i antropologiske analyser uden at gøre det til endnu en udefrakommende ulykke, der rammer klodens svage befolkninger. I artiklen argumenteres der for en nytænkning af skalabegrebet, som kan rumme både det „lokale“ og det „globale“, i og med at der er tale om et analytisk perspektiv snarere end et empirisk forhold. Herigennem åbnes der for en komparativ analyse af „klimaets“ infiltrering i det sociale og dets varierende forklaringsværdi. Artiklen trækker på forfatterens arbejde i Island og Grønland. Søgeord: klimaforandringer, skala, worlding, Island, Grønland English: Climate Explanations: Perspective and Scale in the Study of the High North“Climate” has entered into everyday parlance across the globe. In anthropology, “climate change” has opened up a new field of concern for vulnerable populations on the one hand and for the distinctiveness of the discipline on the other. In this article it is argued that while climate as such is a meteorological abstraction, it may also function as a strategic perspective, which allows for a comparison between ascribed values and dynamisms in social worlds. It is further shown how the implications of worldwide climate change open up for a new understanding of scale as an analytical rather than an empirical category. The substance draws from the author’s work in Northwest Greenland and in Iceland. Keywords: Climate change, scale, worlding, Iceland, Greenland
TAVSHEDENS DILEMMA
Authors: Samuelsen Helle , Østergaard Lise Rosendal
Published: September 2021

Michel Foucault har i sine analyser af forholdet mellem viden og magt beskrevet,

hvordan seksualitet siden victoriatiden har været genstand for en diskursiv

eksplosion. Med den globale aids-epidemi har verden oplevet endnu en højlydt

italesættelse af seksualitet i det offentlige rum, ofte tilskyndet af de internationale

organisationer, der finansierer oplysningsprogrammerne. Erkendelse, bekendelse

og åbenhed har været grundelementer i mange hiv/aids-kampagner. Mange hivpositive

i Burkina Faso foretrækker imidlertid at hemmeligholde deres diagnose,

fordi de er bekymrede for familiens og de nære omgivelsers reaktion. Trods adgang

til den livsforlængende medicin, der betyder, at aids ikke længere nødvendigvis

er en dødelig sygdom, er det i Burkina Faso fortsat en stigmatiseret sygdom, der

er forbundet med skam og frygt for døden. I denne artikel beskriver vi de dilemmaer,

som fattige hiv-smittede i Ouagadougou oplever, når de skal balancere

mellem tale og tavshed i forhold til aids. Baggrunden for artiklen er en række

kvalitative interviews med brugere af et ngo-drevet støttecenter for hiv-smittede

samt observationer og interviews med medarbejdere på centret. Frygten for social

afvisning er stor, og vores informanter anvender tavshed som strategi i forsøget

på at udviske den særlige status som hiv-smittet. Derved bliver forsøget på at

undgå afsløring af diagnosen til en aktiv handling, der skal sikre, at den smittede

fastholder sin plads i familien.

TAVSHED OG VOLD MOD KVINDER
Authors: Sørensen Bo Wagner , Mørck Yvonne , Danneskiold-Samsøe Sofie
Published: September 2021

Artiklen belyser tre former for tavshed, som forfatterne har mødt i forbindelse

med forskningsprojektet „Vold mod kvinder i etniske minoritetsfamilier – en

kvalitativ undersøgelse med fokus på fremadrettede indsatser“. De tre former for

tavshed – i de etniske minoritetsmiljøer, i forskningen og i den offentlige politik

– kan tilsammen siges at udgøre en form for tavshedens sammensværgelse,

der gavner voldsudøverne og ikke voldsofrene. I artiklen forankres begrebet

tavshed i en konkret social praksis med udgangspunkt i spørgsmålet: Hvad kan

der tales og ikke tales om vedrørende vold mod kvinder og i særdeleshed vold

mod etniske minoritetskvinder, på hvilken måde og af hvem? Tavshed ses som

en fortløbende proces, idet artiklen viser, hvordan tavsheder opretholdes ved

hjælp af fortielse, og hvordan forsøg på at bryde samme tavsheder mødes med

FRANZ BOAS OG DET MODERNE ETNOGRAFISKE MUSEUMS (U)MULIGHED
Authors: Kjærgaard Anna Kaae
Published: September 2021

I denne artikel fokuserer jeg på en hidtil underbelyst side af antropologen Franz

Boas’ virke, nemlig hans engagement i museumsverdenen. Jeg ser næmere påto

museumsfaglige debatter, som han indgik i med 20 ås mellemrum: Debatten med

kurator ved United States National Museum Otis T. Mason i 1887 og debatten

med kurator ved Field Museum of Natural History George A. Dorsey i 1907.

Debatterne belyser et centralt vendepunkt i antropologiens historie. I diskussionen

med Mason formulerer Boas principperne for en ny kulturelt kontekstualiserende

kurateringspraksis, som senere skulle blive det moderne etnografiske museums

udstillingsform par excellence. Han læger samtidig kimen til et generelt teoretisk

skift inden for antropologien fra evolutionisme til kulturrelativisme samt

et metodisk skift fra en rent spekulativ „æestolsantropologi“ til en empirisk

videnskab centreret omkring feltstudiet. I sin diskussion med Dorsey eksponerer

Boas omvendt den kulturrelativistiske tæknings uforenelighed med det

etnografiske museum og dets indbyggede fokusering påmateriel kultur. Han

fastslår samtidig, at museets rolle er formidling, ikke forskning. Han foregriber

dermed den videnskabelige antropologis institutionelle skift fra museet til

universitetet, som blandt andet på grund af kulturrelativismens indtog blev en

realitet 15-20 år senere. De problematikker, som Boas optegner i sine museumskritiske

artikler, er dog ikke løst ved at flytte antropologien fra museet til universitetet.

For de peger ikke kun på en række indbyggede begrænsninger i det

etnografiske museum som institution, men også i antropologien som helhed. Jeg

vil afslutningsvis perspektivere til to forskellige strømninger i nyere antropologi,

som viser at det stadig er aktuelt at diskutere disse begrænsninger i dag: Dels den

retoriske vending med Writing Culture som eksempel og dels den ontologiske

vending med Thinking Through Things som eksempel.

Fænomenologien i Antropologien
Authors: Lindhardt Martin
Published: September 2021

Denne artikel redegør i store træk for fænomenologiens relevans og potentiale i antropologisk og kultursociologisk forskning. Der lægges ud med et teorihistorisk oprids, hvor centrale fænomenologiske tænkere (Husserl, Heidegger, Schutz og Merleau-Ponty) og begreber præsenteres. Efterfølgende diskuteres fænomenolo- giens rolle i og bidrag til antropologiske studier af forskellige temaer, nærmere betegnet sygdom, køn, menneskets forhold til naturen og globalisering, samt til de seneste årtiers erkendelsesteoretiske debatter. Afslutningsvis introduceres temanummerets resterende artikler. Søgeord: Fænomenologi, antropologi, sociologi, krop, bevidsthed, erfaring, perception, epistemologi. This article sheds light on the relevance and potential of phenomenology in anthropological and cultural sociological research. The first part of the article consists of a historical account of important phenomenological thinkers (Husserl, Heidegger, Schutz and Merleau-Ponty) and concepts. This leads me to a discussion of the contributions of phenomenology to anthropological studies of different subjects such as illness, gender, the relation between human beings and nature. I further look at how phenomenological insights have contributed to recent and current epistemological debates. Finally, I introduce the remaining articles of this special volume of Tidsskriftet Antropologi. Keywords: phenomenology, anthropology, sociology, body, consciousness, experience, perception, epistemology.

Introduktion: ET LYKKELIGERE, SUNDERE OG MERE EFFEKTIVT LIV?

Published: September 2021

Med temaet optimering sætter Tidsskriftet Antropologi fokus på en af nutidens

tendenser: menneskets stræben efter maksimal ønsket effekt eller funktion med

et minimum af indsats og uønskede konsekvenser. I den moderne forbrugskultur

finder vi en opblomstring af nye teknologier, som er designet til at optimere mental

og kropslig velvære og formåen; eksempler er medicinsk og kosmetisk forbedring,

diæter samt en række teknologier designet til at måle og monitorere selvet (Hogle

2005; Slater 1997; Rose 2007). Kroppen fremstår her som et personligt projekt

– nærmest at sammenligne med et stykke ler, som kan formes og modelleres.

Optimering kan også angå den personlige identitet, frihed og muligheder, for

eksempel når mennesker anvender kalendere som tidsstrukturerende teknologier,

der gør dem i stand til at opdele og udnytte tiden for på den måde at forme selvet

– blive den perfekte mor for eksempel. Det handler om at „gøre noget“ for sig

selv fremadrettet, at forbedre, udvikle, realisere, transformere.
ARBEJDET MED AT OPTIMERE ARBEJDET: Human resource management som optimering af optimering
Authors: Lystbæk Christian
Published: September 2021

I denne artikel analyserer jeg arbejdet med at optimere arbejdet i human resource

management (HRM). HRM er blevet et strategisk fokus for mange organisationer.

Derfor har mange virksomheder og organisationer etableret HRM-afdelinger og

formuleret HR-politikker og -principper. Det gælder også danske kommuner.

Artiklen beskriver forskellige HRM-strategier og betoner på denne baggrund, at

HRM-feltet er et komplekst felt med forskellige forståelsesrammer for arbejdet

med at optimere arbejdet. Nærmere bestemt identificerer den en forskydning af

HRM igennem fire forskellige semantikker: en økonomisk semantik, en juridisk

semantik, en emotionel semantik og en pædagogisk semantik. Disse semantikker

tilbyder hver især et sprog, hvori arbejdet med at optimere de menneskelige

ressourcer formuleres og formes. Som sådan tilbyder de et sprog for arbejdet

med at optimere arbejdet, der kan få store konsekvenser for forståelsen af, hvad

det vil sige at være et menneske, nemlig en ressource, der kan optimeres i og

for arbejdslivet.

HVILKET HVEM ER PROBLEMET? Om stofbehandling og personopfattelser i danske fængsler
Authors: Kolind Torsten , Frank Vibeke Asmussen
Published: September 2021

Stofbehandling handler grundlæggende om at forandre en person fra at være i misbrug

til at blive afholdende. Forskellige metoder og behandlingsideologier, såsom

Minnesota-modellen, kognitiv behandling eller systemisk terapi, beskriver på hver

deres måde, hvordan denne forandring bedst kan opnås. Selv om mange studier har

undersøgt effekten af sådanne forskellige typer stofbehandling, herunder hvor få

der faktisk bliver afholdende, er der ganske få studier, der har undersøgt, hvad der

egentlig sker i stofbehandlingen, og hvordan stofbehandling gøres. Denne artikel

fokuserer på forandring og personopfattelse i stofbehandling i danske fængsler

og undersøger, hvilket hvem der søges forandret i denne behandlingsform. Vi

analyserer behandleres syn på forandring, og hvordan de gør denne forandring i

deres behandlingsarbejde, dvs. hvordan de prøver at forandre deres klienter, og

hvad de ser som klienternes grundlæggende problemer. Artiklen er baseret på

tre måneders deltagerobservation og interview med 16 behandlere ansat i stofbehandlingstilbud

i tre danske fængsler. I analysen gøres brug af sondringen i

den antropologiske litteratur mellem ego- og sociocentriske personopfattelser.

Vi viser, at selv om den egocentriske personopfattelse fylder mest i behandlernes

narrativer om, hvad der konstituerer det at være en person og dermed, hvordan

forandring kan opnås, står denne personopfattelse ikke alene. I behandlernes

narrativer fremstilles klienten således både som en person, der skal arbejde aktivt

med at finde sin indre autentiske kerne, skjult under stofbrug og kriminalitet, og

som en person, der skal skabes gennem faste strukturer og positive sociale relationer

med fokus på ligeværd og respekt. De forskellige personopfattelser bør

derfor snarere ses som sameksisterende end gensidigt udelukkende.

EVIDENT OPDRAGELSESBEHANDLING: Et antropologisk blik på et evidensbaseret behandlingsprogram
Authors: Henriksen Louisa Ellen
Published: September 2021

I løbet af det seneste årti er evidensbaserede behandlingsprogrammer blevet

udbredte i det sociale arbejde i Danmark. Den primære hensigt med evidensbaserede

behandlingsprogrammer er at øge effekten af sociale interven tioner ved

at anvende standardiserede metoder og evalueringer. Et af de evi dens baserede

programmer, der er implementeret i dansk socialt arbejde, er behandlingsprogrammet

„Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care“ (MTFC). Formålet med MTFCprogrammet

er at mindske problemadfærd og øge prosocial adfærd hos unge med

behov for anbringelse. Metoderne i programmet er funderet på behavioristiske

teorier og monitorering. På grundlag af et feltarbejde udført blandt deltagere og

professionelle i et dansk MTFC-team viser denne artikel nogle af udfordringerne

ved implementering af evidensbaserede metoder. Artiklen argumenterer for, at

behandlingsprogrammer inden for socialt arbejde indeholder en kausal behandlingsformel,

der ikke problemfrit kan passe ind i skandinaviske familier med

andre personlige strategier og kulturelle forståelser af opdragelse.

I interviewet med Christoffer Nejrup fra temaredaktionen giver Christian Bason, administrerende direktør for Dansk Design Center, sit bud på, hvorfor han ser antropologer som afgørende for innovation, hvilken rolle antropologen har, og hvilke kompetencer en antropolog bør have for at gøre sig gældende i denne branche.
EN ANTROPOLOG SOM INNOVATIONSKATALYSATOR I POLITIET
Authors: Cullen Jazmin
Published: September 2021

Artiklen bygger på forfatterens oplevelser som ansat i politiet (2013-2015) og er en praksisnær beskrivelse af og refleksion over rollen og arbejdet som „in-house“-antropolog. Artiklen reflekterer over den særlige antropologiske positionering i en hierarkisk organisation. Her gik forfatteren til organisationen med en åben og (konstruktiv) kritisk tilgang og forsøgte at fremlægge sine observationer og indsigter uden at lade dem styre af ledernes ønsker og kollegernes forventninger. Forfatteren forsøgte i politiorganisationen at opbygge en særlig position uden for hierarkiet, som gav mulighed for at gøre opmærksom på organisatoriske udfordringer. Videre beskrives det, hvordan det antropologiske arbejde og de etnografiske indsigter bidrog til innovativ praksisdrevet organisationsudvikling. Her blev forfatterens arbejde brugt af øverste ledelse til at træffe beslutninger om, hvordan man kunne reallokere personalemæssige ressourcer og udvikle organisationen.

etnoGRAFISKE feltnoter
Authors: Kusk Mette Lind
Published: September 2021

Dette bidrag søger at åbne for en udforskning af tegninger som en etnografisk genre, metodisk og formidlingsmæssigt. Igennem udvalgte tegnede feltnoter vises to områder, hvor den etnoGRAFISKE feltnotegenre, bestående af tegninger kombineret med ord, adskiller sig fra skrevne feltnoter. For det første er tegnede noter struktureret rumligt. Selv om en tegnet feltnote reflekterer noget abstrakt, for eksempel en oplevelse eller en stemning, er den forankret i rumlige detaljer og afspejler dele af den kontekst, en given oplevelse udspiller sig i. Samtidig efterlader en tegnet note et indtryk af denne kontekst hos læseren, hvilket hænger sammen med et andet særkende for tegnede noter: Som læsere tilgår vi tegninger på en anden måde, end vi tilgår en tekst. Skrevne feltnoter er struktureret lineært, og de skal læses i en forudbestemt rækkefølge, for deres indhold og sammenhæng bliver tilgængeligt for læseren. Tegnede feltnoter, derimod, har ikke en foruddefineret måde, hvorpå de skal ,,læses‘‘. Øjnene kan dvæle ved en detalje i det ene hjørne, vandre videre til toppen af siden og slutte af i midten, uden at indtrykket eller indholdet fragmenteres. Tegninger kan derfor udgøre en velkommen, visuel variation i etnografisk formidling.
