Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore the relation between territorial stigmatization and community work in Denmark. In the paper, we firstly explore territorial stigmatization, relating it to the Danish context. We show how territorial stigmatization in Denmark happens via a complex amalgamation of bureaucratic practices which identify particular areas as problematic ‘ghettos’, and how this leads to top–down interventions upon many local residential areas, including local community work. Following this, we draw on participant observations in practices of local community work, and interviews with local community workers, to explore how they practically negotiate these particular political constructions of their work. We argue that local community workers come to take on interstitial roles—that is, they come to be in-between the state and authorities and the local communities themselves. This complex double role is what we call an interstitial position, meant to signify how Danish local community workers are both part of territorial stigmatization and simultaneously trying to escape from and undo this very role.

在坎and和艰难的地方之间：丹麦政府领导的领土污名化，非正式照料做法和当地社区工人的间质性

摘要

本文的目的是探讨丹麦的地域污名化与社区工作之间的关系。在本文中，我们首先探讨了与丹麦语境相关的地域污名化。我们展示了丹麦如何通过官僚作风的复杂融合而发生地域污名化，这种官僚作风将特定区域识别为有问题的“贫民窟”，以及这如何导致对许多当地居民区的自上而下的干预，包括当地社区的工作。此后，我们利用参与者对本地社区工作实践的观察以及对本地社区工人的采访，来探讨他们如何实际地协商其工作的这些特殊政治结构。我们认为，当地社区工作者开始扮演插播角色，也就是说，他们介于国家，当局和当地社区之间。这种复杂的双重角色是我们所说的插页式广告，意在表明丹麦当地社区工作人员既是领土污名化的一部分，又是试图摆脱这种作用而放弃的。
