Maia Feldman: Jews, Arabs, and Arab

Jews. Developments within the Concept

of Nationality in Israel

The social development in Israel since the

1950s is an example of ho w groups of people

- in this case Jews of respectively European

and Middle Eastem origin - can experience

marked cultural and biological differences

between one another, and how in a relatively

short period of time, a powerful sense of

sameness can emerge. This process is

reflected in the Israeli concept of “nationality”

and has implied an essentialized

meaning of Jewishness and by implication of

“Arabs”. This article examines how the

perception of “Jews” and “Arabs” as two

essentially different “kinds” is expressed,

and in some cases opposed, by Israeli Jews

of Middle Eastem/Arab origins.

Karen Fog Olwig: Children in West

Indian Family Networks: Four Life

Stories from Nevis

Caribbean people often leave their children

behind with relatives when they migrate. It is

well known that these children play an

important structural role as central linchpins

in networks of social and economic

exchange which take place between the

migrants and their family in the community

of origin. There is, however, little

knowledge of the ways in which children

themselves experience growing up in these

global family networks. This article

investigates the point of view of the children

by examining four life stories related by

young people, from the Leeward Island of

Nevis, whose migrant parents left them, as

small children, in the care of their

grandparents. At a more general level, these

life stories also shed light on the cultural

values associated with ideals of a good

family life among people for whom

population mobility and socio-economic

connectivity, on a global scale, have long

constituted a basic framework of existence.

John Liep: A Wilderness of Taboos: The

Quest for a Culinary Structure

Recent anthropological research in

Melanesia has focused on the construction of

the person, theories of conception and

procreation, and flows of substances through

social relations and persons. There will often

be a correspondence between substances

such as sperm and biood, bodily parts such as

bone and flesh, and contrasting foods that are

gendered. An asymmetric constitution of the

person and a clear structuration of food

prestations between affinal sides may exist.

A study of these themes on Rossel Island,

Papua New Guinea yielded frustrating

results. No clear idea of contrasting, gendered

body aspects was found. Further, a large

number of food taboos for menstruating,

pregnant and lactating women was

distributed in clusters that were amenable to

various logics of interpretation without any

total structural logic appearing. This

negative result is explained by the absence of

any sustained practice of asymmetric

marriage and corresponding complementary

prestations between affines, which would

reproduce an ordering asymmetric structure

of the person and of the universe of foods.
FÆLLESSPISNING MIDT I JYLLAND: Når det drejer sig mere om spisning og drikning end om mad og drikke
Authors: Jenkins Richard P.
Published: September 2021

Richard P. Jenkins: Sociability in Mid-

Jutland: When Eating and Drinking is the

Point, rather than Food and Drink

This paper is based upon nearly a year’s field

research in a town in mid-westem Jutland,

Denmark. Ethnographic data is presented

about the range of occasions for eating and

drinking which are available to its

inhabitants: eating at home, meetings, annual

general meetings, parties and celebrations,

and public eating on demand and at need.

The argument is made that the social

occasions of eating and drinking are more

significant than the food and drink itself.

This is related to a complex of cultural values

concemed with sociability, consensus,

mutuality, communality and apparent

equality, which finds its widest expression in

the Danish welfare State. Developing

changes in the structure of private life and

households - and in the values just itemised

- are related to changes in the organisation of

eating and drinking. A more general

argument is also offered, about the need to

re-orient the study of food and drink towards

a processual study of eating and drinking.

Judith Asher: The Power of a Skinny

Saint: Fasting Practices of Medieval

Female Mystics and Feminist Rereadings

In connection to the current Western ideal of

a thin and disciplined female body, historical

252

evidence has been sought of eating disorders

among women prior to medical diagnoses of

anorexia nervosa and bulimia. One of the

first well-documented instances of such

food-related body denial in Western history

is European medieval women saints, who in

the standard church hagiography have been

revered for the “miracle” of surviving on a

negligible intake of food, inedia miraculosa.

This relatively marginal phenomenon has

come to receive surprisingly broad attention;

the “holy anorexics” are now a standard

reference both in feminist scholarship and in

popular women’s literature. Contemporary

feminist interpretations of these saints tend

to encounter a fundamental ambiguity:

whether to pronounce the women mystics

victims of oppression or agents of liberation.

This article describes the self-imposed

starvation regime of medieval mystics with

reference to the idioms of eating and feeding

that informed their socio-historical context.

It then goes on to outline the interpretive

ambiguity current among feminist rereadings

and propose that this uncertainty

points to the inherently contradictory nature

of broad-based social gender definitions.

This article describes an observational study

performed during the project “Danish

describe the alcohol culture of the “beer

the analysis of the cultural norms and the

collective mechanisms of control

influencing the use of alcohol and ecstasy

among the members, partly on the analysis of

the ritual structures goveming and forming

the conviviality in different drinking

situations. The overall aim of the project was

to give a qualitative description of ecstasy as

a State of consciousness - a non-everyday

consciousness. In this article it is aigued that

ritual analysis can be of relevance to

understanding the ways in which Danes - and

others for that matter - drink. Following this

line of thinking, two ritual forms are

identified: a rite of passage and a rite of

fratemization. In both forms a four-stage

structure can be identified.

Da redaktionen af Tidsskriftet Antropologi for snart mange måneder siden indså, at udgivelsen

af tidsskiftets 40. nummer ville falde sammen med overgangen til det gregorianske

år 2000 besluttede vi at udnævne denne tilfældighed til en anledning. En anledning -

ikke at forveksle med årsag - til at lave nærværende temanummer. Det er ment som en

tagen bestik af den antropologiske videnskab anno 2000, og som en spørgen om følgende:

Hvorfra er vi antropologer kommet, hvor langt er vi nået og - ikke mindst - hvor skal

vi hen? Hvad er vor erkendelsesteoretiske arv, hvilke dele af den vil vi vedgå os, og hvad

skal vi anvende den til i fremtiden?

Vi inviterede derfor en række forfattere til at deltage i en slags fagteoretisk statusopgørelse

og være med til at identificere konturerne af fremtidens antropologi. Konturer,

der så småt er ved at komme til syne, mens støvet fra 1980’emes og 1990’emes socialkonstruktivisme

og dekonstruktion af kernebegreber lægger sig. Og vi stoler ubeskedent

på, at der vil være mange læsere til et sådant temanummer, sultne efter et bud på en „postpostmodeme"

antropologi.

FORDANSKNINGEN AF KULTURLANDSKABET: Midtvejsrapport fra et registreringsprojekt
Authors: Adriansen Inge
Published: September 2021

In the 19th and 20th centuries several thousand national monuments and memorials have been erected all over Denmark. In close co-operation between the National Museum and the author questionnaires have been sent to all municipalities in order to record the national memorials in each municipality all over the country. The response rate is very high and all answers have been registered in a database. The data processing reveals that the most widely distributed memorial tells about Danish identity and a type of feeling of community based on history. Furthermore, the historical conflicts between Denmark and Germany have caused an amazing number of memorials. Opposition and resistance to the Germans have strengthened the national identity of the Danes and caused a "nationalization of the scenery".
J. F. WILLUMSENS „GAMLE SAMLING“: Vurderingens omskiftelighed og samlerens strategier
Authors: Rasmussen Mikael Bøgh
Published: September 2021

From his early years until his death, the

Danish multi-talented artist, Jens Ferdinand

Willumsen (1863-1958), amassed a large

private collection of art and artifacts of all

kinds. Emulating his famous 19th century

predecessor, Bertel Thorvaldsen, Willumsen

bequeathed his collection in 1947 to the

Danish state together with a large portion

of his own substantial artistic production.

On that occasion he arranged a double

exhibition to show his own works and the

so-called “Old Collection”. The article deals

with the reception of the “Old Collection”

and the very severe critique that it met for

its supposed lack of quality. The article

describes the reactions and the subsequent

changes in attitude towards the collection.

Today the collection is recognized as one

that includes many important works of art.

The second part of the article is an attempt

to identify some of J. F. Willumsen’s reasons

for collecting: The artist collected things

which could inspire him. He tried with his

collection to create the impression of himself

as a particularly gifted “uomo universale”

who, through his artistic intuition, would find

a way to the old masters that was unknown

to the learned art historians. The “Old

Collection” was thus a means of displaying

his – not always acknowledged – genius.

Finally, its seems that the com-bination of

his own workshop-collection with an art

collection, installed together in a museum

dedicated to him alone, was a way of linking

himself with Thorvaldsen, who was during

the Golden Age of Danish painting the only

other Danish artist who had a museum of his

own, comprising both his own works and his

collection of other masterworks.

The article is approaching the sensory and the

objects and time from the perspective of

ethnology. It is an attempt to provide an

understanding of the relation between people

and objects in a biographical perspective. It

is argued that the act of keeping and saving is

a kind of technology of the self. Biographical

objects, because of their materiality and

sensory qualities constitute our picture of

our own past, stimulate remembering, store

information beyond individual experience,

and are instrumental to the formation of

consciousness and identity. Biographical

collections are the result of saving, not just

casual keeping of objects connected with

a person’s own life history. Thus, they are

material life stories.

During the 1990’s, the social sciences have

function of scientific expert systems, and the

nature of expert reflexivity in these particular

settings. This article takes a similar focus

and presents data from interviews made

during an ethnographic fieldwork among

psychiatric psychotherapists. The therapists

worked with schizophrenic patients in a

Danish mental hospital. The article shows

some of the major scientific norms structuring

the course of daily clinical practice,

and highlights how the therapists cope

with situations in which they experience

uncertainties in the interaction with schizophrenic

patients. It is suggested that the therapists

deal with these difficulties in terms

of specific coping strategies, which seem to

neutralise, integrate or symbolise the uncertainties

in question. It is then discussed how

order and stability are maintained normatively

as well as strategically, and how norms

and practices are related to one another in

this particular environment of experts.
OM SANDALFØDDER OG MULIGHEDEN FOR FORANDRING

both the inferiority experienced by lowerclass

Brazilians and the particular role

of storytelling in the communication of

anthropological insights. The two aspects of

the article are related through the use of stories

(here defined as recounts of particularly

revealing moments during field-work) in the

description of a metaphorical relationship

between broad feet, poverty and second-class

citizenship. Brazil is a society penetrated by

social inequality in all aspects of daily life.

The media bombardment of advertisements

for products of all sorts increases the sense

of inferiority among the poor. Signs on the

body like grey, uncared-for skin and broad

feet due to sandal use are experienced as the

embodiment of ignorance and lack of selfcontrol.

The informant Sonia explains the

position as a “sandal foot” (pé de chinelo)

with her story about lack of recognition and

an often violent attitude towards lower-class

Brazilians in the sphere of consumption as

well as the health care system. In addition,

a particular situation is described, in which

the anthropologist witnesses a medical

doctor misread a poor woman’s attempt

to appear respectable. The anthropologist

feels her impotence and detachment as

an observer, while she dressed as a nurse

unwillingly participates in the humiliation

of the woman. This kind of experience, it is

argued, provides a broadened understanding

of human ex-perience, which may renew – in

the anthro-pologist as well as her reader – the

respect for the Other, crucial to any struggle

for rights on a formal, and in the common

sense, political level. The use of stories as

vehicles for this kind of understanding and,

more pragmatic-ally, for the anthropologist’s

viewpoint in a highly politicized debate

is justified by the particular capacity of

storytelling. Stories about moments during

fieldwork merge the “knower” and the

known, it is argued, and engage the reader’s

imagination and experience in the attempt to

follow the process of knowing. They may

therefore provide a richer understanding of

anthro-pological insights than descriptions

based on information and explanation alone.

Besides, stories are per definition positioned,

as there would be nothing to tell if nobody had

sensed, felt and thought anything. Therefore,

the telling of stories clearly engages the

reader in an interpretation of the relationship

between field, anthropologist and text. These

two aspects of storytelling, the transportation

of the reader to the field site by way of

imagination, and the demand on the reader’s

ability to interpret told situations, allow for

a reflection upon human conditioning and

the resulting plurality of perspectives. It also

allows the anthropologist to put forward her

perspective without postulating any superior

knowledge.

MUSIK FOR MISBRUGERE
Authors: Harsløf Olav
Published: September 2021

The back entrance of the Copenhagen Central Station has for some decades been shelter

and meeting place for alcoholics, drug abusers and drug dealers, because this part of the

Central Station faces a part of the town which for more than a hundred years has

accommodated prostitution in general, and since the legalisation of selling pornographic

films and pictures in 1969 also shops and cinemas for that purpose. When hash and

narcotics entered the milieu of prostitution this part of town – called Istedgade kvarteret

(Isted Street Quarter) – became also domicile of junkies, drug dealers and prostitutes

dependent on narcotics. After a radical restoration of the Central Station in the 1990’s the

management wanted to get rid of the abusers in the back entrance. So did many travellers.

And as the police did not succeed they bought a music concept from the central station

in Hamburg, which had proved its efficiency there. By playing music from the period of

romanticism (about 1800-1860) from a loudspeaker they stressed the abusers so much

that they after a few days of persistence left the entrance hall. Now the question is: what

made them leave? – It is well known that music has been used for psychological purposes,

in super markets, in films, in wars and as means of torture. But why should music from

exactly that historical period affect the abusers? Most of the junkies and alcoholics are

not familiar with nor attracted to classical romanticism. They have through their whole

are anthropologists, who do not settle for surfaces, but insist on reflecting on their own

incorporated cultural learning processes.

Published: September 2021

Dorte Effersøe Gannik’s book Social Theory of Disease: A Situational Perspective

is the revised version of her doctoral thesis in medical sociology. In the book,

Gannik uses empirical research on backaches to construct a general sociological

theory of disease. In this interview with Jansbøl and Johansen, Gannik primarily

talks about the theoretical aspects of her work. Gannik’s theory of disease helps

us reach a more precise understanding of connections between the two complex

entities “disease” and “the social”. Gannik claims that disease is far more socially

embedded than the health sector thus far has acknowledged, and she points out

that factors outside of the health sector determine whether or not a person interprets

some kind of physical discomfort as a symptom of disease severe enough

to seek medical attention for. Even after a person has been transformed into a

patient, many of his or her symptom-related actions are still more often determined

by conditions in the home, at work, or among friends than it is by strictly

medical matters. Gannik claims that the health sector hitherto has had an inadequate

understanding of disease, because its spokespersons have defined it as a

fundamentally biological entity which is largely unaffected by social conditions.

In contrast, Gannik argues that disease can only be properly understood if one

seriously takes into consideration the social lives of patients, inside the health

sector, as well as outside it.

FRA SYGDOMSFORTOLKNING TIL SYGDOMSHÅNDTERING I DET ØSTLIGE UGANDA – OG I ANTROPOLOGIEN
Authors: Mogensen Hanne Overgaard
Published: September 2021

Medical anthropologists have a long tradition for studying illness explanations

offered by local informants as well as how these explanations influence health

care seeking behaviour. In spite of anthropologists’ intentions to provide a cultural

critique of biomedicine, many studies within medical anthropology actually end

up confirming the implicit assumptions of the biomedical paradigm through their

focus on local illness explanations and health care-seeking behaviour. Due to their

interest in local illness explanations, anthropologists continue to be regarded as

those who can identify exotic understandings of sickness. These explanations,

it is then assumed, can be turned into more acceptable knowledge and appropriate

behaviour through public health initiatives. This article asserts that one way

to avoid such a trap is to recognize medical anthropology’s tendency to study

the use of cognitive models as analytical framework: classification, semantic

networks, explanatory models, narratives etc. There is a definite need for a shift

from semantics to pragmatics, when one addresses the interpretation of illness.

The discussion is based on fieldwork conducted primarily in Uganda, over the

course of the past 15 years. The author’s changes in perspective emerge from

developments in anthropology, especially medical anthropology, during this time

period.

PÅ GENBESØG I MAGISKE VERDENER: Et essay
Authors: Sjørslev Inger
Published: September 2021

In classical anthropological literature, magic has been dealt with as technologies

that are related to uncertainty and control. The present essay sets out from these

themes, but argues that a theory of magic, as well, has to look at the triangle

between matter or substance, form and holistic images, and techniques and

actions. The incentive to discuss magic in the light of newer anthropological

theory of materiality derives from a visit to the exhibition at the Tropenmuseum

in Amsterdam: Vodou – a way of life. On the basis of impressions from this

exhibition, particularly the encounter with the figures of the bizango spirits, the

article suggests that magic has to do with materiality in ways that can be further

illuminated by a closer attention to fetish and to sacrifice. The elaboration of

materiality into different forms is salient in both of these phenomena. Magic,

then, has to do with the shaping of matter, whether in form of packages where

the substance of content may be of significance, or in the form of destruction.

Keywords: materiality, structuring, technique, fetich, sacrifice, voodoo.
ERHVERVSMAGI? Om charlatanisme og værdiskabelse ud af den blå luft
Authors: Salamon Karen Lisa
Published: September 2021

The author argues for the relevance of applying ethnographic theories of sociality,

magic and trickster to empirical data and discourse on contemporary economic

value creation and so-called “financial wizardry”. Salamon discusses contemporary

cases of massive financial fraud as instances of illusionism that draw on similar

social and significant mechanisms as did the performances of historical charlatans

and magicians. The article draws on publicly accessible information and media

coverage on two recent cases of substantial financial fraud, a historical analysis

of charlatanism in medieval Italy, as well as classic ethnographic theories of

magic. The argument relates the fraud cases to analyses of alchemical reasoning

and occultism and points out that charlatanism, magic illusionism and grand

financial fraud all profit from being “too good to be true” and “too cheap for the

price”. The cases are supernatural because their price and value stem from doing

“the impossible”. They seduce their audiences by the trick of the “cure all – no

risk – something out of nothing” financial performance, just as the illusionist’s

audiences are seduced by his impossible trick of pulling several large doves up

from one small hat. Salamon concludes that the “financial wizard’s” claim to

virtual, and rather Effortless, conjuring up of economic value resembles general

value creation under contemporary financial capitalism, resonating magic: The

“white magic” of contemporary financial capitalism only turns out to be defined

as “black magic” when it – after the fact - carries negative results for its investors,

audiences – and performers.

Keywords: Anthropology of management, fraud, theories of magic, theory of

value, charlatanism, trickster.
Den gode vilje og de vilde børn: Civiliseringens paradoks i den danske skole
Authors: Gilliam Laura
Published: September 2021

Laura Gilliam: The Good Will and the Wild Children. The Paradox of Civilizing in the Danish School Based on fieldwork in three Danish schools, this article focuses on the school’s project of transforming children into civilized citizens and the consequences this have for teachers’ work with children, and for children’s practices, social categories and construction of identity. It is argued that the civilizing project directed towards the groups regarded as the uncivilized of society: children, lower social classes and ethnic minorities, often results in these groups’ identification with uncivilized behavior. This paradox of civilizing is seen in the three classes, where an extensive focus on learning to be “social” and on adjusting all non-social behavior, make the teachers mark quite a few children as socially problematic, just like making trouble and other rejections of “civilised behaviour” become a relevant factor for the children’s social relationships in school, for their understanding of their own and other social categories and a relevant tool for their agency in school and relation to society. Due to the paradox of civilizing and the institutional logics of school, the children who reject the civilized ideal like this and come to identify against society, are often the gendered and ethnic categories, which the school is most eager to integrate and civilize. Keywords: Civilizing, the Danish school, opposition, ethnic minorities, institutional logics, identity.

Historien om en kanal: Klimaforandringer og vandpolitik i det peruanske højland
Authors: Rasmussen Mattias Borg
Published: September 2021

Klimaforandringerne øger presset på vandressourcerne i det peruanske Andes. Artiklens forfatter følger i tid og rum en vandingskanal i provinsen Recuay i Perus højland. Historisk følges kanalen før, under og efter jordbrugsreformerne. Med inspiration fra Norman Longs Encounters at the Interface (2002) er det muligt at lokalisere et antal interfaces langs kanalen. Gennem en analyse af interfaces og kanalens forløb bliver det muligt at konkludere, at vandmanglen er et resultat af et samspil mellem økologiske og sociale relationer. Til slut fremføres det, at samtidig med at klimaforandringerne øger presset på vandressourcerne, skabes der også nye muligheder for dialog mellem den lokale befolkning og eksperterne. Søgeord: klimaforandring, vand, lokalpolitik, Andes, Peru English: The Story of a Canal. Climate Change and the Politics of Water in the Peruvian HighlandClimate change increases pressure upon water resources in the Peruvian Andes, and the issue of water scarcity may become even more pertinent. The exploration of the problematic of water is about the relationship between water and social organization, and the impact of climate change upon that relationship. “The story of a canal” traces the course of an irrigation canal in the Peruvian highland province of Recuay in time and space. The history of the canal is followed through different phases of before, under and after the agrarian reform up until the establishment of the present day peasant communities, thus inserting the course of the canal into historical land tenure dynamics. Following the analytical framework set up by Norman Long in Encounters at the Interface (2001), a number of interfaces of interaction is located along the course. Through an analysis of the interfaces and the course of the canal it is argued that water scarcity is the result of a complex interplay between ecological and social relations. Finally it is argued, that while climate change increases pressure upon water resources, it also can produce new openings through renewed dialogue between the local population and experts.

Dermed udforsker artiklen overordnet, hvordan skabelsen af analyseenheder kan tænkes i såvel etnografisk museumsarbejde som i antropolo- giske analyser i bredere forstand. Det foreslås, at denne proces må anses som en dynamisk og kreativ figurering af verden, hvilket indebærer, at genstandene for et givent musealt eller antropologisk blik har analyse indlejret i sig. Det overordnede argument er, at objekter i antropologiske analyser, uanset om de udfolder sig på museer eller i tekster, aldrig taler for sig selv og ikke kan ses som givne og naturlige enkeltdele i et lige så givent og naturligt system. Figur og grund medproducerer hinanden, hvorved grunden kun kan komme til syne som yderligere en figur. Dette åbner muligheden for at se analyse som en generativ proces snarere end som en dekonstruktion eller repræsentation.Søgeord: analyseenheder, etnografika, figurering, kreativitet, museer, ting.English: Figures without Ground: Museum Collections and Global Climate ChangesThis article has two closely related ambitions. For one thing, it conjures up an exhibition on the basis of an ethnographic collection, the point of which is to display global climate change through artefacts brought home from all around the world. For another, it explores a specific analytical take on these artefacts in order to discuss how things come to life as objects of anthropological analysis. The article thus addresses the general question of how we might think about the creation of units of analysis in ethnographic museum practice as well as in anthropology. It is suggested that this process can be seen as a dynamic and creative figuration of the world, which implies that the objects of any anthropological gaze already have analyses enfolded in them. The overall argument is that objects of anthropological analysis, whether expressed in museums or in texts, never speak for themselves and thereby cannot be seen as natural and given particulars in an equally natural and given system. Figure and ground co-produce each other, whereby any ground can only emerge as yet another figure. This paves the way for understanding analysis as a generative process rather than as deconstruction or representation.

VERDENS UAFKLARETHED
Authors: Bille Mikkel
Published: September 2021

Artiklen diskuterer, hvorledes uafklarethed og begrebsmæssig vaghed konstituerer

den måde, hvorpå mennesker udfolder sig materielt og begrebsmæssigt. I de nylige

antropologiske studier af „en eller flere verdener“ udfolder verdens beskaffenhed

sig ofte i informanternes klare og entydige udsagn eller udledes af observationer

af praksis. Med udgangspunkt i brugen af belysning argumenterer artiklen for

et øet fokus påbegrebet „tmosfæe“ som det, der toner oplevelsen af verden,

men som ikke nøvendigvis indbefatter begrebsmæsig klarhed. Atmosfæer er

ontologisk set vage erfaringer, der påden ene side opleves og påden anden side

ikke præist kan afgræses. Nå denne uafklarethed tages som præis, ånes op

for en tilgang til informanternes erfaringer, som ikke blot handler om multiplicitet,

men som ogsåtager sammensmeltningerne af de affektive, sanselige og materielle

erfaringspraksisser med, hvor uklare de end er.

BEHANDLING OG ANDRE POLITISKE HÅNDGRIBELIGHEDER
„DET ER IKKE EN FORLYSTELSESPARK, VI DRIVER HER“ Behandling vs. nydelse og andre modsætninger i det danske program
Authors: Johansen Katrine Schepelern
Published: September 2021

I 2008 vedtog det danske folketing, at behandling med lægeordineret heroin skulle

være en behandlingsmulighed i dansk misbrugsbehandling. Med indførelsen af

lægeordineret heroin indførte man ikke kun et stof, der for nogle stofbrugere er

meget attraktivt. Man indførte også et meget komplekst behandlingstilbud med

en række indbyggede modsætninger. Baseret på et omfattende feltarbejde på de

fem danske heroinklinikker analyserer denne artikel tre centrale modsætninger

i behandlingstilbuddet. Den første modsætning er, at heroin både er problemet

– det afhængighedsskabende stof – og samtidig løsningen – behandlingen. Den

anden modsætning er, at brugernes rationale for at tage stoffet – nemlig nydelsen

– er meget anderledes end personalets rationale bag at give stoffet – afhjælpelse

af lidelse. Den tredje modsætning er, at behandlingen søger at normalisere brugerne

og samtidig omfatter praksisser – injektion af afhængighedsskabende stoffer,

kokseri og overdosis – der almindeligvis betragtes som radikalt afvigende.

Afslutningsvis bruges diskussionerne af disse modsætninger til at identificere

en række implicitte antagelser blandt personalet på heroinklinikkerne om, hvad

behandling er: Behandling er tæt knyttet til medicin og medicinske logikker,

behandling kræver en aktiv indsats fra brugernes side, og endelig må behandling

helst ikke må være for nydelsesfuldt for brugerne.

EVIDENSBASERET POLITIKUDVIKLING
Authors: Vohnsen Nina Holm
Published: September 2021

Brudflader mellem forskning og bureaukrati Det har i en årrække været en ambition i det danske embedsværk at kunne baserestadig flere indsatser på evidens. Hvor den evidensbaserede tilgang tidligereprimært var at finde på de sundhedsfaglige indsatsområder, har tilgangen nuogså vundet frem på det sociale område og i beskæftigelsesindsatsen. Dermedskriver Danmark sig ind i en bredere tendens, som også omfatter det amerikanskeog det britiske embedsværk. Bestræbelserne på at frembringe evidensbaseretpolicy er imidlertid blevet problematiseret både fra forskningsmiljøerne oginternt i statsadministrationerne. I disse analyser konkluderes det, at evidenskun sjældent, hvis nogensinde, bruges direkte i politikudviklingen, men oftere erenten håndplukket til lejligheden eller indgår som et blandt flere input. I denneartikel vil jeg på baggrund af feltarbejde i det danske embedsværk diskutere,præcis hvori udfordringerne ved at arbejde evidensbaseret består. Hvordan gårdet altså til, at evidens ikke anvendes direkte i udviklingen af politik? Via enanalyse af udviklingen og implementeringen af et dansk forsøg på at udvikleevidensbaseret policy på beskæftigelsesområdet vil jeg vise, hvordan detevidensbaserede paradigme grundlæggende er i konflikt med embedsværketstraditionelle håndværk og arbejdsbetingelser.Søgeord: evidensbaseret politik, embedsværket, policy, bureaukrati, Danmark
SPÆNDINGSFELTET MELLEM DYNAMIK OG STABILITET
Authors: Møller Julie Rahbæk , Johansen Katrine Schepelern
Published: September 2021

Udvikling og behandling af mennesker med sindslidelser i det danske velfærdssamfund Mennesker med alvorlige sindslidelser hører til blandt nogle af de mest udsattemennesker i vores velfærdssamfund, og der findes i dag omfattende indsatser rettetmod denne gruppe. Forandringer i velfærdssamfundet har derfor direkte betydningfor disse mennesker – det gælder også skiftet fra en stat, der fokuserer på at skabestabilitet, til en stat, der har fokus på at fremme konkurrence og dynamik. Baseretpå empirisk materiale fra to forskellige psykiatriske institutioner argumenterer vifor, at skiftet fra velfærdsstat til konkurrencestat har betydet en ændring i spændingsfeltetstabilitet-dynamik for disse mennesker. Vi argumenterer i artiklen146for, at et centralt forhold ved de udviklings- og dokumentationsredskaber, somman arbejder med i psykiatrien og socialpsykiatrien i dag, er, at de observerer ogbeskriver patienternes/beboernes liv og væren stadig mere detaljeret for på dennemåde at kunne dokumentere den ønskede forandring. Det har de konsekvenser, atmedarbejdernes arbejde bliver meget styret, og at rum til refleksion formindskes.Samtidig risikerer sindslidendes ønsker om stabilitet at blive tilsidesat til fordel foren præference for en særlig slags dynamisk udvikling, som er vanskeligt for demat efterleve. Derfor foreslår vi afslutningsvis, at begrebsparret dynamik-stabilitetinddrages som analytisk opmærksomhedspunkt i fremtidige undersøgelser afvelfærdssamfundet.Søgeord: psykiatri, socialt arbejde,
KONVERGENS PÅ TVÆRS AF VELFÆRDSSTATEN
Authors: Salamon Halvard , Lex Simon , Friberg Torbjörn
Published: September 2021

Artiklen skitserer etnografisk en styringspolitisk vision og dennes aktuellepåvirkning af velfærdsstatslige organisationer i Øresundsregionen via enrække ledelsesteknologier og målrationaler. Empirien er hentet i offentligeog halvoffentlige organisationer inden for tre sektorer; kultur, forskning oglogistik (post), hvor arbejdsmiljøerne er præget af rationaliseringstiltag ogfusionsprocesser, der påvirker medarbejdere og borgere i hverdagen. Særligtfokuseres på organisatoriske fusions- og konvergensteknologier, der fra politiskhold hævdes at kunne fremme økonomisk og samfundsmæssig værdi netop ikraft af konvergenseffekterne. Det konkluderes, at visionen om velfærd gennemkonvergens ikke er værdineutral, men producerer betydninger og mekanismerfor social inklusion og eksklusion. Den daglige drift, interne organisatoriskeforhandlinger og kernefaglige ydelser nedprioriteres til fordel for spektakulæresamarbejdsinitiativer og effektiviserende sammenlægninger. Den styringspolitiskevision om vækst og innovation gennem strategiske partnerskaber og rationaliserendekonvergens afspejler en idealiserende, men strategisk og opportunistisk tilgang tilsamarbejder og kollektivitet. Konvergens handler ikke om at nærme sig hinandensom sådan, men bliver middel og mål for en kommerciel værdiskabelse.Søgeord: kollaboration, konvergens, nyliberalisme, strategiske alliancer, styring,velfærdsstaten

NÅR ÆLDRE MENNESKER BLIVER GAMLE: Betydningen af velfærdsstaten og medborgerskabet
Authors: Ludvigsen Bodil
Published: September 2021

Denne artikel bygger på et antropologisk feltstudie hos svækkede ældre mennesker,

som boede i eget hjem, og som blandt andet modtog hjemmesygepleje.

Studiet fokuserede især på de ældre menneskers sociale relationer, hjælpen,

de modtog, deres medicin og sundhedsaktiviteter i form af blandt andet fysisk

træning. Derudover blev de ældres forståelse af døden behandlet, og hvordan de

tilpassede sig deres levevilkår som ældre. Artiklen tager udgangspunkt i teorier

om medborgerskab (Marshall, Schwartz, Sørensen, Jöhncke, Rose & Novas,

Petryana), og hvordan det at være medborger i et samfund indebærer rettigheder,

pligter og krav. Ældre, som er afhængige af velfærdssamfundets hjælp, er ikke

undtaget for pligter og krav, og forpligtelserne strækkes langt ind i denne sene

fase af livsforløbet. Jeg argumenterer i artiklen for, at de ældre informanter med

baggrund i deres ønske om at være en god medborger, og ikke en modborger, i vid

udstrækning søger at tilpasse sig de krav og forpligtelser, de møder fra samfundets

side, eksempelvis om medicinindtagelse, træning og at indgå i et samarbejde

med deres hjælpere. Som en integreret del heraf smelter også konkurrencestatens

mål (Pedersen) om effektivitet og virkningsfuldhed sammen med disse krav og

forpligtelser. Ældre medborgeres ønske om at forbedre deres helbredstilstand er

ofte overensstemmende med de aktuelle samfundsmæssige mål. Artiklen viser,

at det med tiden bliver sværere for de ældre informanter at leve op til krav og

forpligtelser, hvorfor de trækker „ældrekortet“. Som føge heraf reformulerer

de ædre deres medborgerskab til en status som „ammel“, samtidig med at de

udvæger forpligtelser, som de fortsat behersker. Den antropologiske forstålse af

medborgerskabet som deltagende, pluralt, flydende og gensidigt viser, hvorledes

de ædre informanter kan definere deres medborgerskab ud fra personlig formån.

Det betyder, at de ædre fortsat kan føe sig inkluderede, samtidig med at de

ydelser, de modtager, tilkendegiver substantiel inklusion i samfundet.
