ABSTRACT This article examines how intersecting markers of difference shape differentiated whiteness. In so doing, it contributes to scholarship on whiteness and racialization. The authors draw on autoethnographic vignettes from fieldwork in Copenhagen to analyse the emergence of similar-yet-divergent researcher and migrant positionalities. Both authors are female researchers from Baltic countries living in Denmark and often perceived as Eastern Europeans—as not-quite-white and as “Europe’s ‘internal others’”. Both of us conducted fieldwork in the same district of Copenhagen. Mantė carried out research on friendships among teenagersn a racially diverse public school and in youth activity clubs. Linda explored social inclusion and exclusion in contested urban spaces. However, our researcher positionalities played out differently. We analyse how ambiguous, contested and relational notions of (Eastern) Europeanness, together with intersecting racialized, classed and gendered tropes of Eastern European migration, made themselves manifest in our positionings and movements. Through an intersectional analysis of Eastern European racialized positionalities, our discussion of differentiated whiteness highlights how whiteness is intersectionally constituted, multiple and mouldable. These findings serve to nuance research on hegemonic whiteness in the Nordic setting.

“东欧”,是的,但是如何?有区别的白度的民族志记录

摘要本文探讨了差异的相交标记如何区分白度。这样,它有助于白度和种族化方面的学术研究。作者利用哥本哈根田野调查的自传民族志来分析相似但又不同的研究人员和移民地位的出现。两位作者都是来自生活在丹麦的波罗的海国家的女性研究人员,通常被认为是东欧人-并非白人,而是“欧洲的'内部他人'”。我们俩都在哥本哈根的同一地区进行了实地调查。曼特(Mantė)在种族多元化的公立学校和青年活动俱乐部中研究了青少年之间的友谊。琳达在有争议的城市空间中探索了社会融合和排斥。但是,我们的研究人员的立场不同。我们分析了(东欧)欧洲性的模棱两可,相互竞争和相关的概念,以及东欧移民的种族,阶级和性别交织的相交之处如何使自己在我们的定位和运动中得以体现。通过对东欧种族化位置的交叉分析,我们对差异化白度的讨论突出了白度是如何交叉构成,多重且可塑的。这些发现有助于在北欧背景下对霸权白度进行细微的研究。我们对差异化白度的讨论突出了白度是如何交叉构成,多重且可塑的。这些发现有助于在北欧背景下对霸权白度进行细微的研究。我们对差异化白度的讨论突出了白度是如何交叉构成,多重且可塑的。这些发现有助于在北欧背景下对霸权白度进行细微的研究。
