SIDSTE PAS DE TROIS I GENÉVE: En dans for tre i FN’s saloner, hvor værten fører
Authors: Kvaale Katja 
Published: September 2021

Katja Kvaale: Last pas de trois in Geneva:
a dance for three in the UN saloons
with the host leading the dance
The purpose of this article is twofold. Taking
its point of departure in empirical examples
from the 1993 Session of the United Nations
Working Group on Indigenous Populations
in Geneva, the article attempts partly to analyse
how indigenous peoples operate in the
UN system, and partly to examine how this
touches on classical anthropological notions
such as peoplehood, nationhood and culture
as distinet and continuous units. It is argued
that most of the indigenous inputs at the
UNWGIP can be heard as persistent reactions
against the member states’ questioning
their peoplehood and consequent rights to
self-determination. However, it is not the
idea to deconstruct the notion of the modem
nation State altogether, nor to imply a radical
cultural relativity, but rather to establish that
the UN is confronting a global reality somewhat
more complex than individuals and nation-
states. In stating that the right to self-determination
is separate from and prior to international
law - it has been there since time
immemorial - the indigenous representatives
are tuming the legal logic of the UN upside
down. From their perspective it is thus not
a matter of being endowed with rights from a
magnanimous UN, but rather a latecoming
making up for the wrongdoings of half a millennium.
Meanwhile, in asserting cultural
continuity and distinetiveness in their politicized
self-representation, indigenous peoples
are catching anthropology off-guard and
without foothold amidst the debris of its recently
abandoned paradigms. Ironically, in
the case of indigenous peoples the discipline
is seemingly facing the incamation of the
very notions and concepts just ditched: the
exotification of the other, the radical us/them
or West/the Rest distinetions, the Levi-
Straussian „cold“ timelessness i.e. „conservative"
rejection of modemity and development,
culture as partly reified and self-sufficient
units etc. However, rather than a morally
based rejecting attitude towards this phenomenon
the discipline would benefit from
facing the great theoretical and analytical
challenge that lies behind it. Although indigenous
peoples and anthropologists are now
operating within the same frame of reference
to a far higher degree than was the case 25
years ago, it can still prove worthwhile to distinguish
between the different levels on
which culture is dealt with at different times.
Hence, a potential clash between indigenous
politieized „authentic culture" on the one
hånd and scientific deconstruction of „true
culture" on the other can be avoided.

ANTROPOLOGISK HIV/AIDS-FORSKNING UNDER FORANDRING: Indledning

Inddragelsen af antropologer til at undersoge de sociale betydninger og konsekvenser af
hiv og aids, og dermed om muligt bidrage til at finde nye veje til at modvirke fortsat smitteudbredelse,
har undergaet markbare forandringer i lobet af arene. Ganske vist er understregningen
af betydningen af kultur en fallesnavner for antropologers indfaldsvinkler
i dette arbejde (Feldman 1990; ten Brummelhuis & Herdt 1995), men der er sket vigtige
forskydninger i perspektivet undervejs. Kultur er ikke, hvad det har varet.
OG BRYLLUPSREJSEN GIK TIL ET KLOSTER: Ungdomskultur og forbrug blandt koptere i Kairo
Authors: Galal Lise P. 
Published: September 2021

Lise P. Galal:... and the Honey Moon Trip
Went to a Monastery. Youth Culture and
Consumption among Copts in Cairo
A new cultural outcome of the Coptic
orthodox youth who are attempting to
integrate their cultural heritage in a modem
lifestyle is expressed in the popular trips to
the old monasteries of the Egyptian desert.
In trying to re-formulate a Coptic identity we
see a young couple who prefer the company
of their friends from the church instead of
their family at such an important occasion as
their wedding day. It seems that the church
has been successful in fulfilling the modem
desires of the young people. The trips to the
monasteries resemble this success and
satisfy not only a desire for holidays, but also
a desire for modem consumption, a style of
consumption which in modem times
becomes increasingly a sign of cultural
identity.
EN MINORITET SØGER IDENTITET: Drusisk religiøs identitet i den libanesiske offentlighed
Authors: Skovgaard-Petersen Jacob 
Published: September 2021

Jakob Skovgaard-Petersen: A Minority in
Search of Identity. Druze Religions
Identity in the context of the Lebanese
Public
In recent years a number of Middle Eastem
religious minorities have been engaged in
redefinitions of their religious identities.
One of the impulses for this activity has been
the growth of Islamic movements that give
strict and narrow definitions of what
constitutes proper Islam. Another impulse
has been the growing awareness of civil and
religious rights of minorities. The Druze in
Lebanon constitute such a minority that
seeks to establish its proper identity in the
aftermath of the Lebanese civil war 1975-90
and the general upheavals in the Lebanese
national consciousness. Tracing the history
of publications about the once-so-secretive
Druze religion, the article explores the
tendency to stress an Islamic identity for the
Druze religion. This Islamization of Druze
religion became apparent in a number of
publications in the 1960s but has received a
new impetus after the end of the civil war.
Since this period more sophisticated
arguments have centered on the Sufi
character of the Druze holy writings and
defended their Islamic character along the
lines of Sufi apologetics. The article argues
that this increased sophistication and
professionalization of the agrument is partly
due to the polemics against an Islamic
identity of the Druze coming from Sunni and
Maronite thinkers, some of whom were
writing under Druze pseudonyms during the
war. It is also due to a novel understanding of
the Druze as a religious public which must
be leamt about and adapt its Islamic identity
through a public debate.
IDEEN MED „BØRN"
Authors: Gulløv Eva 
Published: September 2021

Dette nummer af Tidsskriftet Antropologi omhandler disse variationer. Nummerets
bestræbelse er gennem en række etnografiske artikler at bidrage til vores viden om børns
liv og samtidig vise, hvordan studier af børn og deres fortolkninger af omgivelserne kan
perspektivere forståelser af kulturelle og sociale sammenhænge i bestemte samfund. En
overordnet pointe er således, at studier af børn ikke blot beriges gennem antropologisk
teori og metode, men også selv har en berigende effekt på teorierne, idet de giver anledning
til en række centrale antropologiske spørgsmål om kulturel tilegnelse, normsystemer
og fællesskabers karakter og rekruttering.
SAMFUND? Durkheim revisited i Amazonas og videre
Authors: Veber Hanne 
Published: September 2021

“Society” appears a difficult notion. We use
it all the time. But is it any good as an
analytical concept? Sociologists seem to
agree it is not. Few societies have the
empirical characteristics of the bounded
entity that structural-functionalist theory
assumed. Constructivist notions of society as
“imagined community” appear to be tied up
with the existence of the State or with the
spread of information technology. This
leaves contemporary anthropology with
“society” as a residue, the left-over from
culture’s gluttonous theoretical supper. Still,
social science aims to explain or understand
social relations, interactions, and the
processes by which structures and functions
are worked into social systems as implied by
the notion of society. The notion of society
allows us to assume the existence of
objective structures of order in the social life
of people. Unlike the notion of culture,
however, the notion of society has not been
critically scrutinized by anthropologists. In
contemporary Danish anthropology with its
focus on culture and cultural representations,
writers tend to simply take society for
granted as the intrinsic empirical context of
culture. From the perspective of Durkheimian
notions of “the social”, the paper
provides a brief review of interpretations that
retrospectively have appeared analytical
dead-ends. The author goes on to suggest that
the notion of “symbolically generalized
media of communication” may offer a
productive opening that embraces both sides
of the culture/society dichotomy in the
search for structured systems of social
existence whether subjectively or
objectively conceived. The idea of
“symbolically generalized media or
communication” was originally formulated
by Talcott Parsons and subsequently
reworked by German sociologist Niklas
Luhmann. Rather than an interrelated series
of parts that make up a whole plus something
else in the classic Durkheimian sense,
society from this perspective appears in the
form of structured sets of actions oriented by
a horizon of possibilities and expectations,
symbolically constituted, yet always
provisional and emergent. Inspired by
analyses of two different cases in Amazonian
research the paper offers a brief hint at how
the notion may be employed in
anthropology.
DEN OPLØSTE SAMLING OG DEN MAGISKE MATERIE
Authors: Sjørslev Inger 
Published: September 2021

collecting objects related to magic rituals in
Brazil for the Department of Ethnography of
the Danish National Museum, the article deals
with the different conditions in which objects
are found, and how they are embedded in
their social context as well as in the context
of the museum collection. The metaphors of
wet and dry are used to characterize the –
paradoxical – social killing – or “drying” –of the objects, when they enter the museum
and are made permanent, and in principle,
eternal through conservation. In Denmark,
moreover, the de-accession of museum
objects is virtually non existent, aside
from the cases in which cultural property
is repatriated. “Wet” objects are objects in
social circulation. Likewise objects can be
said to be wet when they are used in magic
rituals, and where it is their role and fate to
be destroyed and dissolved as, for instance,
in order to cleanse the person for whom the
ritual is performed. “Dry” objects are the
permanent, de-socialised museum pieces,
for which dissolution is prevented through
the institution of conservation. The article
includes some reflections on Marcel Mauss’
concept of hau as attached to exchange
objects. Finally, the article questions whether
museum objects, as objects within a global
system of exchange, possess anything that
bears relation to related to Mauss’ hau.
STATENS MUSEUM FOR KUNST: Et museum for kunsthistorien og samtidskunsten
Authors: Petersen Vibeke 
Published: September 2021

Statens Museum for Kunst is now one of the
few art museums in Europe where collections
of art from the 14th century to the present
day are kept together. However, the need for
an expansion of the exhibition area became
increasingly urgent, and a wing was added
to the museum in 1996. The article’s title
indicates, therefore, the framework for the
wide field of art covered by the museum. It is
relevant to take a closer look at the historical
basis for this combination within visual
art. Two important players come to mind:
Diderot, French art critic and philosopher
of the Enlightenment, and in Denmark the
art historian Julius Lange. Diderot advanced
the idea that contemporary art should be part
of the “modern” public museum. If any one
person deserves the credited for legitimizing
contemporary art as an important category
in itself, it is Denis Diderot, for he made
the claim the con-temporary art be taken as
seriously as was the art of the past. Lange
played a leading part in Danish artistic life.
His aim to make explicit the criteria for
obtaining optimum presentation of the art
collections at Statens Museum for Kunst
resulted in heated discussions. They have
had a decisive influence in Denmark on the
ongoing discussions of the importance of contemporary
art seen in relation to museums
and art history, and on the presentation of art
collections and, not least, on what they should
represent. In the end of the 20th century the
concept of representation has had a dramatic
revival. For an insightful con-tribution to this
movement, the article points to the American
art historian Donald Preziosi’s discussion of
the relation between the “modern” public
museum and the con-cept of representation.
HJEMSØGELSER: Når det uvirkelige bliver virkeligt
Authors: Råhauge Kirsten Marie 
Published: September 2021

Haunted discusses experiences of ghosts in houses that are used as homes. Most
of the experiences in the study take place in contemporary Denmark. The many
ghost stories that are part of an ethnographic research project are connected to
the spatial and material conditions under which they take place. The article suggests
connections between the extra-material and the material-spatial register, e.g.
perceptions of the home as a cell and a fi lter, of territoriality and property right,
connectedness to places and hyper-transmission. The article suggests haunting
as a state of emergency, where categories such as time and space are being transgressed:
categories that are normally understood as fi xed or discrete. Through
Freud’s concept Das Unheimliche and the spatial conditions under which it is
experienced, and through Derrida’s concept Spectre and its deconstructive displacements,
the article sketches out an analytical framework for articulating these
strange experiences that seem to go beyond reason.
Keywords: Haunted houses, space, extra-materiality, Denmark.
TIL KONSULTATION HOS ÅNDERNE: Om klarsyn, energier og magi i Danmark
Authors: Steffen Vibeke 
Published: September 2021

There is a long-standing anthropological tradition of studies where the concept
of magic is related to crisis and the re-establishment of order, whether on a
social or an individual level. The risk of this approach, however, is that we may
mistake the intention with magic for its result, and thus overestimate the role of
crisis, the management of problems and the construction of meaning. This article
demonstrates that instead of providing answers and solutions, the engagement with
magic may just as well open up for new questions and new problems. The subject
of the study is spiritualism and second sight as practised in contemporary Danish
society primarily by women. In this context, magic is not necessarily something
extraordinary that people turn to when facing severe trouble, but rather a way of
dealing with social relations in everyday life. My approach is inspired by Evans-
Pritchard’s classic work on witchcraft, oracles and magic among the Azande in
the sense that the concept of magic forms only one leg in a triangle with energies
and second sight as the other two. Second sight is provided by mediums passing
on messages from deceased relatives or other spirits at platform demonstrations
or in private consultations. The messages often deal with distance and proximity
in social relations and how to protect yourself against feelings of being drained of
energy or invaded by other human or spiritual beings. The term energy provides a
sense of physical reality to these otherwise subtle feelings and makes it possible
to deal with them in concrete situations through spells, invocations, and other
kinds of magic manipulation.
Keywords: Spiritism, social relations, the boundaries of self , women.
Tavshed og tale i krig og fred: Om torturofre og vold mod kvinder
Authors: Danneskiold-Samsøe Sofie 
Published: September 2021

Artiklen omhandler forholdet mellem tale om statens vold på den ene side og tavshed om vold mod kvinder i familien på den anden. Den stiller spørgsmålene: Er der former for statslig vold, der ikke omtales, og er det i visse tilfælde muligt at tale åbent om vold i familien? Artiklen diskuterer desuden, hvilke muligheder og begrænsninger henholdsvis tavshed og tale giver kvinder og mænd for at bryde med volden og udfordre udøverne af den. Diskussionen tager udgangspunkt i fire irakiske kvinder bosat i Danmark. Alle fire er eller har været gift med irakiske mænd, der har været udsat for tortur i Irak under Baath-styrets regering, og alle fire kvinder er eller har været udsat for vold fra deres mænd. De har altså erfaring med både statens vold og med den private vold i hjemmet. Artiklen konkluderer, at den vold, der finder sted i hjemmet, som regel ikke udtrykkes eksplicit, mens erfaringer med statens vold formidles i mange sociale sammenhænge. Det kan dog ske, at private og kønnede erfaringer med statens vold forties. Det kan også ske, at vold i hjemmet omtales åbent, hvis volden beskrives som et afledt resultat af statens vold med henvisning til, at manden udøver vold som følge af sine traumer fra tortur. Hvordan ofre for vold får stemme, har konsekvenser for deres handlemuligheder og for, hvordan man kan tænke løsninger og veje ud af volden. Søgeord: tavshed, italesættelse, torturofre, vold mod kvinder, Irak, køn This article addresses the relationship between talking about state violence on the one hand and the silencing of domestic violence against women on the other hand. It asks the questions: What kinds of state violence are not talked about, and is it in some cases possible to talk openly about domestic violence? The article also discusses the opportunities and constraints of silence and speech that allow women and men to break the violence and challenge perpetrators. The discussion is based on fieldwork among and interviews with four Iraqi women living in Denmark. The four women are married to or have been married to Iraqi men who have been tortured in Iraq under the Baath regime, and the women are being or have been abused by their husbands. Therefore they have experienced both state violence and domestic violence. The article concludes that the violence that takes place in the home is usually not expressed explicitly, while the experience of state violence is communicated in many social contexts. Private and gendered experiences of state violence may be silenced. It may also be the case that domestic violence is referred to openly in cases where a man’s violence is described as being a result of state violence because trauma resulting from torture makes the victim commit violence himself. The way victims of violence gain voice has implications for possible action and how to think about ways out of violence.Keywords: Silence, speech, torture, violence against women, Iraq, gender
Introduktion: BEBOR VI MANGFOLDIGE VERDENER?
Authors: Grue Astrid , Vega Christina 
Published: September 2021

Med den ontologiske vending som incitament blev udsagnet „Vi bebor mangfoldige
verdener“ taget op til debat påKøenhavns Universitet i maj 2011. Inspirationen
til debatformen blev hentet fra Manchester, hvor The Group for Debates in
Anthropological Theory årligt afholder arrangementer. De foregår på den måde,
at to proponenter taler for et bestemt udsagn, mens to opponenter taler imod. I
2008 stod striden om udsagnet, Ontology is just another word for culture, og den
debat er siden udgivet på skrift (Venkatesan 2010). Nærværende temanummer
udspringer af arrangementet i København, hvor to debattører, Morten Nielsen og
Morten Axel Pedersen, blev inviteret til at tale for gyldigheden af udsagnet, „Vi
bebor mangfoldige verdener“, mens Christian K. Høbjerg og Kirsten Hastrup blev
inviteret til at tale imod. Hver debattør fik et kvarter til at fremføre sine pointer
og med argumentatorisk snilde forsøge at overbevise publikum om henholdsvis,
at vi bebor mangfoldige verdener, eller at vi ikke gør det. Efter de fire oplæg var
der åben debat, og det hele blev afsluttet med en afstemning blandt tilhørerne.
Det gjaldt med andre ord om at vinde publikum over på sin side.
PRAKTISK ONTOLOGI: Verdener i STS og antropologi
Authors: Gad Christopher , Jensen Casper Bruun , Winthereik Brit Ross 
Published: September 2021

I denne artikel diskuterer vi spørgsmået om, hvorvidt vi bebor mangfoldige verdener
med udgangspunkt i en amoderne tilgang til videnskabs- og teknologistudier
(science and technology studies eller STS), som vi kalder praktisk ontologi. På
den ene side er denne analytiske position nært beslægtet med antropologiens
nylige interesse for ontologi. På den anden side præsenterer vores tilgang en
række vigtige forskelle. Disse forskelle vedrører ikke mindst spørgsmål om materialitetens
agens, om informanters begrebsliggørelse af egen praksis og om
forholdet mellem etnografisk beskrivelse, begrebslig opfindsomhed og politik.

EN FAMILIE BLIVER TIL: Om kostbehandling som optimeringsproces for familiens socialitet
Authors: Jønsson Alexandra B. Ryborg 
Published: September 2021

Med udgangspunkt i feltarbejde blandt forældre til børn med adfærdsforstyrrelser
undersøger jeg, hvordan det at have et barn med en adfærdsforstyrrelse påvirker
hverdagsliv og selvforståelse og dermed skaber et rum for kostbehandling til at
muliggøre optimering for familierne. At have et barn med en adfærdsforstyrrelse
har ikke kun betydning for barnet, men for hele familien og dens socialitet.
Familier med adfærdsforstyrrede børn føler sig ofte udstødt, og drømmen om
den lykkelige familie brister. Forældrenes selvforståelse bliver sat på spil, og i
det offentlige sundhedssystem bliver familien mødt med beskeden om, at barnet
er uhelbredeligt. Kostbehandling er en særlig diæt, der for alvor blev kendt med
bogen Kernesund familie i 2007, og her loves forældrene, at børnene kan om ikke
helbredes så i hvert fald optimeres i deres funktionsniveau. Kostbehandlingen
yder således en teknisk optimering af barnet og derigennem familien. Uagtet om
kostebehandlingen virker eller ej, fortæller forældrene om fremskridt, og artiklen
argumenterer for, at dette skal forstås ved at sætte kostbehandling i en social
kontekst for at se på, hvordan familiens socialitet optimeres.

DIGITAL OPTIMERING: Refleksioner over e-valgsdebatten i Danmark
Authors: Gad Christoffer , Dalsgaard Steffen 
Published: September 2021

Danmark har både efter offentlighedens og eksperters mening et velfungerende
demokrati med høj valgdeltagelse og en gennemskuelig, sikker og troværdig
valgproces. Imidlertid var der hen over vinteren 2012-13 en heftig debat om,
hvorvidt der skulle laves forsøg med digital stemmeafgivelse i Danmark. Evalgsforkæmperne
udtrykte en forestilling om, at digitale teknologier havde evnen
til at „optimere“: i dette tilfælde en række forhold i valgprocessen som optællingen
af stemmer, eliminering af ugyldige stemmer og handicappedes adgang til at
stemme hemmeligt. E-valgsmodstanderne udtrykte til gengæld skepsis over for
både konkrete digitale løsningsforslag og digitalisering som sådan og påpegede,
at den danske valgproces allerede fungerede fint. I denne artikel diskuterer vi
med udgangspunkt i debatter fra Folketinget, handicaporganisationernes egne
publikationer om emnet og onlinedebatfora, hvordan teknologi i forbindelse med
e-valg blev fremstillet som „muliggørende“ (i betydningen enabling) af både
fortalere og modstandere. Denne teknologiforståelse synliggør vi ved hjælp af
en tilgang til menneske og teknologi, som vi kalder „kompositorisk“. Tilgangen
bidrager til en diskussion af, hvordan optimering er på spil i forholdet mellem
teknologi og den handicappede krop.
