   D farm women's organizations hosted a conference under the theme 'Who is the farm woman today?' and the aim was to debate 'farm women's role in modern Danish agriculture.'  The question is reflecting the ambiguous role women play in Danish farming today. Agriculture in Denmark was traditionally based on family farming as a social form with specific social, economic and cultural characteristics (Højrup ). Women played an important role in family farming and had a strong identity (Zenius ; Landbrugsrådet ). Women's identity was associated with their work in the division of labour on the farm (Rømer and Nielsen ). However, the restructuring process in agriculture during the last  years has meant great changes in women's role in farming. The modernization processes taking place in agriculture has reduced the need for labour on the farm and increased the importance of capital. This is reflected in women's connection to farming, since the number of farm women working outside the farm have more than doubled between  and  (Jensen ). The modernization processes in Danish society in general has meant that most women are now in the labour market, employment being an important part of female identity (Simonsen ). This is also reflected amongst women on farms, since most are connected to the labour market today: farm women under fifty have an employment frequency as high as Danish women in general;  per cent are connected to the labour market. There has therefore been a generation change in Danish agriculture: most women who marry a farmer today have their own education and continue to work outside farming after marriage, and many have a non-agricultural background (Jensen ). These changes in women's connection to farming suggest that farm women's identity is undergoing reconstruction.

ABSTRACT. The tradition of using qualitative interviews in the study of everyday life, place and identity in geography, housing studies and related disciplines is a long and sound one. Recently there has been increasing interest in using visual methods as part of qualitative methodological approaches. Through our own empirical work, this article explores one position in visual methodology, which suggests visual methods as a way of in a sense getting closer to the lived life. Drawing inspiration from qualitative methodology and performative perspectives in geography, this article argues that this position overlooks the ways in which the visual – here photography – can also be seen as performed. Based on the authors' experiences with visual methods in fieldwork in housing areas in greater Copenhagen, and using both informants' and researchers' photographic work, the article shows how a performative perspective on photography can be used in qualitative research in geography.

Using a temporal lens, the article shows how fathers' incarceration leads to a loss of attunement to the temporal rhythms of their children's everyday lives. This lack of synchrony has implications for both the being and the becoming of the child. Through in-depth interviews, the article draws on data from a Danish study of mothers and children, aged 5-27, whose father/stepfather was incarcerated. Findings show the significance of a multifaceted understanding of time showing the implications of fathers' imprisonment for children, suggesting that policy initiatives would be enriched by a focus on challenges to synchrony from the child's perspective.

This article explores the complicated process of post-deployment homecoming in military families in Denmark. Based on qualitative interviews with spouses and children of formerly deployed soldiers, the article analyses some of the main challenges related to homecoming and military-to-family transitions in military families. It illuminates how deployment affects family practices and social relations by especially focusing on gender equality, fatherhood, and masculinity. Based on interviews with spouses and children, the article outlines three masculinity positions available to Danish homecoming veterans: gender equality masculinities, militarized masculinities, and troubled masculinities.
