ABSTRACT

This paper is focusing on the way in which securitization is performed, experienced and felt in everyday embodied encounters. It explores encounters between citizens and urban authorities – here represented by police officers holding different positions in relation to the public. The context of the research is public spaces marked as a potential threat to the security of the city. That can be streets, squares or neighborhoods represented as ‘ghettoes’ in the public debate. The research object is encounters with the authorities (in which majority and minority agents can take different positions) and the experiences, emotions and power relations lived out in these encounters. The methods are interviews with both police officers and citizens focusing on their experiences of cross-cultural encounters. To achieve a deeper understanding of the meaning horizons circumscribing the encounters, we interpret them through the lens of theories of embodied encounters, emotions and different modes of violence and power relations.

摘要

本文着重于在日常实践中遇到的证券化的执行，体验和感受方式。它探讨了公民与城市当局之间的相遇-在这里，以与公众有不同立场的警察为代表。研究的背景是被标记为对城市安全构成潜在威胁的公共场所。在公开辩论中，街道，广场或邻里都可能被称为“贫民窟”。研究的对象是与当局的接触（多数和少数族裔代理人可以担任不同的职务），而这些经历中的经验，情感和权力关系仍然存在。方法是采访警察和公民，重点是他们的跨文化交往经历。为了更深入地了解遭遇的含义，我们通过具体化的遭遇，情感以及暴力与权力关系的不同模式的理论来解释它们。
