Resisting Invisibility through Creative Expressions: Immigrant Students and Families’ Voices and Actions
Authors: Alvarez Gutiérrez Leticia , Quijada Cerecer Patricia D. 
Published: September 2021

This study examines a grassroots effort to work collaboratively with a group of immigrant students, their families, and educators at an urban high school. Using PAR as a methodological tool, we explore how a group of high school students along with their families resist racial stigmatization and marginalization. These young people and families were part of a university intergenerational collective, Family School Partnership (FSP) that worked along-side teachers in an urban high school located in Salt Lake City, Utah. This article focuses on how PAR can be a pedagogical tool to support immigrant young people and their families as they resist oppressions in schools while offering teachers, pre-service teachers and graduate students unique preparation experiences for working with and learning from immigrant students.
Preservice Teachers’ Memories of Home-School Connections and Their Link to Anticipated Practices
Authors: Miller Kyle Elizabeth 
Published: September 2021

Connecting with families is now a key professional role for teachers and supports student success in the classroom. This article presents an examination of elementary education preservice teachers’ anticipated work with families and how their memories of school intersect with those visions. A qualitative research design incorporated open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with twenty-five preservice teachers. An inductive analysis using grounded theory techniques led to the identification of four main themes including: (1) “Involved” parents show up at school, (2) technology is a strategy to modernize work with families, (3) field-based experiences reinforce anticipated practices, and (4) institutionalized practices are the practices that count. Each theme connected to participants’ memories of school and future visions reflected traditional one-way efforts embedded in their school histories. Implications are discussed for teacher educators.
KULTUREL KOMPLEKSITET OG EMPIRI-BRICOLAGE: Refleksioner over et projekt om etniske minoritetsungdom og multikulturalisme
Authors: Mørck Yvonne 
Published: September 2021

Yvonne Mørck: Cultural Complexity and
Empirical Bricolage - Reflections on a
Project on Ethnic Minority Youth and
Multiculturalism
The article draws on experiences from fieldwork
among ethnic minority youths in the
greater Copenhagen area as well as on
studies in London. In order to do anthropological
work in the complex and modem
world, especially in urban spaces of the metropolis,
the anthropologist needs more
sophisticated methods and sources of information
than conventional anthropology can
produce. At the same time different theoretical
perspectives should supplement one
another. This implies that on the methodological/
empirical as well as on the theoretical
level we need the model of „bricolage" in
order to refine our analysis. The anthropologist
should therefore be a „nomadic subject"
with a „nomadic consciousness" as the advocated
nomadism refers to a kind of critical
consciousness that resists settling into
socially coded modes of thought and behaviour.

Lisanne Wilken: Fieldwork among People
Personal relationships between the anthropologist
and the informants in a given field
plays a crucial role for anthropological fieldwork
and for the information the anthropologist
gets. With reference to personal experiences
from fieldwork in Northern and Central
Italy, the author argues that methods of
establishing and maintaining personal field
relations ought to play a much more prominent
role in the discussions of anthropological
field methods than is usually the case. In
today’s discussions of anthropological
methodology one can easily get the impression
that field relations are coincidentially
automatically, established, or that anthropologists
have an innate capacity for the
creation of social relationships in a variety of
social and cultural contexts. The article discusses
how dependence on a few close informants
may block the collection of data and
suggests ways to establish a broad range of
informants. One solution is to establish field
relations prior to the commencement of
fieldwork. This method not only ensures that
informants are available when fieldwork is
started but also facilitates the cross-cutting
of social boundaries which may otherwise be
difficult to crosscut.The article also suggests
that questionnaires may be used as a method
to attract attention to the research project in
the field and to broaden the circle of informants.
The focus of the article is not the nature
of the data collected during fieldwork,
but rather the circumstances for the collection
of data.
URSPRUNGSFOLK OCH RATTEN TILL SJÅLV-BESTÅMMANDE: Sjalvbestammandedoktrinen mot en ny mening?

Ulf Johansson Dahre: Indigenous peoples
and the right to self-determination: selfdetermination
towards a new meaning?
The beginning of the last decade of the 20th
century has seen the end of a distinet era in
international relations. This era, encompassing
the years 1945-1990, was the era of decolonization,
in which self-determination
was defined or understood in relation to decolonization
in the third world. This era also
brought a distinet definition of self-determination.
Entitled to self-determination were
the peoples of European overseas colonies.
Minorities and indigenous peoples excluded.
However, a redefinition, or an extension
of the concept, is ocurring. It is likely that
self-determination will become a legal right
of indigenous peoples, but not explicitly recognizing
secession, but a right to political
and social participation within the existing
States. In the transition from colonial to postcolonial
contexts, self-determination is becoming
a means of conflict resolution and a
way of pushing for democratic rights, also
for indigenous peoples.
VI OG VORE HUNDE: Et antropologisk perspektiv
Authors: Nicolaisen Ida 
Published: September 2021

Ida Nicolaisen: We and our dogs - an
anthropological perspective
The cultural perceptions and classifications
of animals form a classical theme in anthropological
theory. However, few anthropologists
have analysed man’s relations with and
understanding of ‘his oldest friend’ the dog.
This article tries to remedy this. It focuses on
the economic and symbolic significance of
the dog among the Punan Bah, a tiny ethnic
group in central Bomeo and its role in their
cognitive universe and its transformation. It
is argued that research may prove the dog to
hold a similar significant social and cultural
role in the western world.

Published: September 2021

Helle Ploug Hansen: A Zebra-Striped
Circus Performance. The Scenario of
Laughter
This article looks at humour and laughter as
a complex social and cultural phenomenon.
It is based on a description of a circus
performance in Copenhagen in which a
plastic zebra, after having read a zebrastriped
book, lay down on the scene in the
performance hall. The performance is first
analysed as a parody of a traditional circus
performance and as an absurd form of
humour. The article then focuses on laughter
as a spontaneous answer from the body to an
unknown and unpredictable phenomenon.
Finally Bateson’s theory of communication
is introduced in order to understand humour
and laughter as a meta-communicative
manifestation, that comments upon and
challenges the social order.
RITUALISERET TALE I HOVEDLØSE SAMFUND
Authors: Veber Hanne 
Published: September 2021

Hanne Veber: Ritualized Speech in
Headless Societies. The Constitution of
Power and Publicness in the Amazon
Anthropology conceptualizes native
Amazonians as prototypical egalitarian
societies. In these societies, formal leadership
is weak and seldom operative beyond
the extended family or local group level. It is
based on personal prestige and the ability to
inspire confidence. The leader is expected to
guide his following through the topography
of the economic and the socio-political
landscapes but is in no position to give
orders or command. This weak power
syndrome has inspired the term “headless
society” in the literature. Pierre Clastres has
developed the idea that a systematic antistate
campaign is embedded in Amazonian
social structure and therefore, centralization
and consolidation of power has been precluded.
Short of subscribing to Clastres’
argument, it is clear that power in
Amazonian societies, as elsewhere, is based
on consent and this fumishes the only
measure of its legitimacy. The questions
remain, then, how is order constituted in the
absence of explicit mechanisms for enforcement
of rules and norms, and how are
potential conflicts solved? One answer is
furnished by the institution of ritualized
speech or ceremonial dialogue found in most
Amazonian societies. These constitute
devices of meta-communication through
which human interaction is regularized.
Years ago, the Danish anthropologist Niels
Fock explored the Waiwai oho-chant as a
form of legal authority in Weber’s sense,
supplementing the traditional authority on
which Waiwai leadership rested. The
relation between the two forms of authority
remained unclear, however. Greg Urban
views ceremonial dialogue through the
optics of semiotics and demonstrates its
regulative social functions, thus providing a
sophisticated confirmation of Fock’s earlier
hypothesis. Comparative data on ritualized
speech from the author’s fieldwork among
the Pajonal Asheninka of eastem Peru
demonstrates how potential conflicts are
negotiated through ritualized speech and
how the resolutions are confirmed through
their being made public by the ritualization.
In this sense ritualized speech facilitates a
smooth flow of social life - even in the
societies with no head.
NOMADERS FREMTIDSUDSIGTER: Beduiner i oliestaterne Qatar og Bahrain og pashtuner i Afghanistan

Klaus Ferdinand: Nomads’ Perspectives
on the Future. Beduins in the Oil States
Qatar and Bahrain and Pashtuns in
Afghanistan
The study of pastoral nomads and especially
the processes of change they are (and have
been) undergoing has, for several decades.
been an important field of study in
anthropology. In the Middle East nomadism
does not only comprise pastoral nomads but
a wide variety of other developments in
interplay with the surrounding social
environment. This “multi-resource nomadism”
(Salzman 1969) or “extended
nomadism” is culturally stamped by its local
or regional cultural and social surroundings.
In Afghanistan these developments have
resulted in settling down. When does it
become appropriate to stop talking of
nomadism and nomads altogether? This is
discussed on the background of material
from the Arab Gulf States Qatar and Bahrain
and from Afghanistan. Furthermore, the very
different status of the nomads in Arabia and
in Afghanistan (and Iran) is discussed. In
Arabia traditional Beduin life is fast disappearing,
but it is kept “alive” in a new role
as part of the affluent oil states’ national
identity and exhibited in their museums and
centres of national heritage. In Afghanistan
the situation is quite the reverse: here the
nomads have generally been considered
“wild” and represented an outdated form of
life. In spite of this faet, however, they continue
to exist, and to all appearances are also
expanding in numbers throughout the 1980s
and 1990s with the turbulent and chaotic war
situation. Nevertheless, as nomadism is on
its way out and becoming a matter of history,
it is argued that our studies also have to
become historical, and once again also have
to comprise the study of material culture.
This is so, because our rich museum
collections in the future will serve as
primary data collections. This necessitates
having them well doeumented and this is not
usually the case!

In 1994-96, the author conducted fieldwork

The article focuses on local notions and

examples from the field, the author asks to
what extent one can theorize child practices

teacher domination in the school. It is
tentatively suggested that adult-child relations
be viewed not as simple dominationsubordination

and continuous negotiations of relative

Helle Samuelsen: Spirit Children
According to local cosmology among the
Bissa of Burkina Faso, small children up to
3-4 years of age are seen as balancing
between the living and the spiritual worlds.
At this early stage in their lives, they are in a
transitional state with a certain attachment to
the world of spirits and ancestors. On the one
hånd, children are considered vulnerable and
thus eligible for parental protection, while
on the other hånd, they are perceived as
powerful in that they represent the spiritual
world. This local cosmology of early
childhood liminality is inscribed in children’s
bodies through daily practices of
preventing and treating illness. Practices for
controlling bodily orifices, viewed as
thresholds between inner body and the
extemal world, and controlling spatial
boundaries between village and bush, are
important in regulating the relationship
between the living and the spiritual worlds.
Analytically, the body can bc seen as part of
the topology where local cosmology is
unfolded. The article shows how studies of
daily health care practices aimed at
controlling the liminality of small children
contribute to understanding how local
cosmology is practiced in everyday life. It is
argued that although children are not studied
as individual agents in this article, a focus on
children gives insight into other and more
general aspects of the local culture.
MASATO-DRIKNINGENS SOCIALE RUM: Ashéninkasamfundet i Gran Pajonal
Authors: Veber Hanne 
Published: September 2021

Hanne Veber: The Social Space of Masato
Drinking and Ashéninka Society in the
Gran Pajonal
Ashéninka natives in the Gran Pajonal, an
isolated area with small and widely dispersed
settlements in the Upper Amazon of eastem
Peru, are fond of drinking masato to the point
of even distinguishing themselves as “the
ones who drink masato”. Masato is a homebrewed
beer made from manioc, the staple
crop and basis of Ashéninka subsistence.
Ashéninka from different settlements
regularly gather for communal drinkingbouts
that get entire communities solidly
intoxicated on masato for two or more days.
The article considers the phenomenon in
terms of its performative capacity for
invoking codified meanings and forms of
interaction central to Ashéninka social life.
From this perspective, the communal
drinking-bout becomes a symbolic medium
of communication where the code for being
Ashéninka is enacted and reiterated. This
implies a social coherence, perhaps the
existence of the thing otherwise refered to by
the term “society”. It includes the scattered
and independent settlement of Ashéninka
who adhere to the code and contribute to its
reproduction. This society, however, is not
an interrelated series of parts that make up a
whole plus something else in the
Durkheimian sense of “the social”. It is
rather a symbolically constructed horizon of
possibilities and expectations, always
provisional and emergent. Masato, then, is
the developer through which the contours of
this Ashéninka society become visible.
DEN MAGISKE ILLUSION? En kognitiv tilgang til magiske ritualer
Authors: Sørensen Jesper 
Published: September 2021

The concept of magic is one of the most
contested concepts in anthropology. It has
been criticised as an illusion created by early
anthropology’s primitivist understanding of
other – notably non-European – cultures.
This has led to a general agreement to
abandon the term, if not in praxis then
theoretically. The author questions whether
the concept should be abandoned and instead
he proposes a reformulation based on the
realisation that magic is a broad analytical
category about which one cannot produce
theories. Rather, theories must address the
phenomena observed and categorised as
magic. The author advocates a cognitive
approach to magic and magical ritual based
on the theory of “conceptual blending”
proposed by linguist Gilles Fauconnier and
literary Mark Turner. The theory of conceptual
blending presents a new possibility
to approach the explicitly metaphorical and
metonymic content in magical practices and
spells. Thus, magic is not based on a special
type of causality, but rather in the exploitation
of ordinary cognitive procedures
in special pragmatic circumstances, namely
ritual, in order to achieve a specific result. At
the same time, the author aims to show how
symbolic interpretations are de-emphasised
in magical rituals in order to enhance more
basic processes of meaning construction,
which gives magic a special relation to
institutionalised religion.
KATEGORIALE SAMLINGER: Eller hvordan man fik indført en vis orden i universet i det 18. århundredes
Authors: Jørgensen Kirsten Winther 
Published: September 2021

Following the zoologists of eighteenthcentury
Britain from the field to the study
this article investigates how animals
were categorised in the grand taxonomic
systems of the day. The article analyses the
epistemological, social and cosmological
underpinnings of this particular kind of
classificatory collections, showing both how
the notions of specimens, species, genera,
orders and classes of the taxonomic systems
as well as the methods of categorisation
were culturally framed, and how the categorisation
of animals entailed a categorisation of
humans well. The article hence deals with the
categorial collections of eighteenth-century
zoology from the vantage points of both a
history of science and an anthropology of the
“totemic” perspective.
SYMPATISK ETNOGRAFI ELLER SOLIDARISK KRITIK?
Authors: Johansen Louise Victoria 
Published: September 2021

Traditionally, anthropologists have
sympathized with marginalized objects of
study – people who do not have the power
to speak for themselves. Acting as advocates
of subordinate groups has thus seemed
much more attractive to anthropologists
than studying institutions and powerful
informants. Though many recent studies of
Western institutions and elite groups have
modified this viewpoint, a marked tendency
still exists to criticise these informants
for being unambiguously hegemonic,
whereas minorities are almost automatically
rendered as complex. The article considers
the methodological implications of letting
the status of the informants influence which
ethical codex is to be followed – a sympathetic
approach to marginalized people, or a critical
approach to dominant groups and institutions.
It is argued that fieldwork among elites can
hardly be legitimized if it does not strive to
render their worlds more comprehensible and
varied. Exemplified trhough a recent study of
the relations between teachers and bilingual
pupils in two French primary schools, it is
shown that the French teachers’ multiple
discourses on differences among the children
cut across the so-called “dominant” discourse
normally addressed by educational and
minority anthropology. This article shows
that a focus on the complexity of institutions
and powerful elites can point to possibilities
within the field studied for enhancing equality.
A more solidary perspective should therefore
inspire critical anthropology to break with
the usual dichotomy between power or elite
and the “victims” hereof. Instead, we need to
engage all parties studied as competent and
often reliable informants in order to make
our critique more accurate.
PENGEFORMER BLANDT FATTIGE FORBRUGERE I DANMARK
Authors: Hohnen Pernille 
Published: September 2021

The first half of the article presents critical analyses of the existing “consensus” within
consumption studies, namely that consumption is primarily about symbolism, freedom
of choice and lifestyle, by introducing dissenting voices (Carrier & Heyman; Löfgren;
and Lodziak) arguing for a revival of a more political-economic framework. The author
proceeds to argue that by using a broader framework of both qualitative and quantitative
money (Zelizer), it is possible to focus on the interplay between material and immaterial
dimensions at work in contemporary processes of social differentiation. The second
half of the article consists of an empirical analysis of consumption patterns and forms
of money in poor Danish families. This reveals a widespread tendency among the poor
families to earmark the limited amount of money available with the result that they
have no “free money” at all. The earmarking is a way to control money according to
different principles, e.g. use value, temporality, beneficiaries of pursuits (children/
parents), material form (electronic money versus paper money) and moral discourses.
The tendency to conceptualise money in terms of qualitatively different currencies,
however, also places poor citizens in a position outside mainstream consumption
regimes, in contrast to existing discourses on consumption in contemporary Danish
society.
