The Vices of Debating Racial Epithets in Danish News Media Discourse
No full textThis chapter offers an analysis of the Danish “negro” debate that has been predominant in the public media for the last decade. Based on the news media analysis authors examine two prevalent arguments: the argument of etymology and the argument of post-racism and freedom of speech. Authors approach the racial epithet as an artefact that is situated in a historically-laden construction of inferiority and superiority. The debate that is centered around the morally laden question ‘may we say it or not?’ reveal the clash between those who see the use of the word as a cultural right to the freedom of speech and those who see the historical circumstances of colonialism and slavery embedded in the word. Authors conclude that there is no such thing as a neutral identity-category, as such the word “negro” and the “n-word” as a substitute to it, both function as signifiers for two or more competing figured words. Moreover, the authors argue, that reducing the debate into an issue of “may or may not” is a missed opportunity to seriously examine, analyze, and debate racial processes in Danish society

Shared Social Experience and Co-
Existing Reflexivities
This article delimits a locus of study
centered on the notion of shared social experience
which draws on the author’s
fieldwork among the Mayas of Yucatan in
Mexico. Shared social experience concems
the conscious identity of the ethnographer,
the nature of relationships with local informants,
and his or her willingness to be enganged
in the lived experince of native actors.
Only if we engage ourselves direetly
in the practical and emotional concems of
others in the field can we demystify subjectivity
and gain insight into other reflexivities
and reflexivities in their interactional
mode
Karikatur-krisen radikaliserede danskerne
No full textTi år efter Muhammed krisen er nationalisme markant tilstede i debatten. Der er en tendens til at fremstille flygtninge og immigranter som anderledes. Nationalismen er ikke længere en populær betegnelse, men den er der, den bliver bare forklædt som for eksempel integrationspolitik, asylstramninger. Peter Hervik, professor ved Institut for Kultur og Globale Studier på Aalborg Universitet, diskuterer udtrykket politisk korrekt, som man bliver beskyldt for at være, hvis man vil stille færre krav til nydanskere og være mere imødekommende
