Debatter og reguleringer af muslimske tørklæde – populisme og symboler

Abstract: The article illustrates how the Muslim headscarf has become a symbol of a struggle about liberal principles and values connected with democracy, gender and equality and how it is used by populist forces as symbolic politics in order to promote a more restrictive immigration- and integration policy. In addition, it shows how key actors have employed democracy and gender equality as arguments both for and against the right to wear headscarves. Taking the point of departure in the headscarf debate the authors arg… Show more

“…This shift also produced critical examinations of how feminist ideals of gender equality were being mobilized by politicians to control and marginalize Muslim women (e.g. Andreassen & Siim 2010). It is also possible to observe a preliminary focus on racial capitalism during this period, for example in…”

“…In this way, the far right aims to bridge different topics and sub‐groups while also creating a strong, negative image of migrants as “threatening Others” of the national we‐group narrative (Doerr, 2017 ). As has been witnessed during the last 2 decades, such context‐specific stereotypical images have concrete consequences, as they serve governments to legitimate new laws against migrants perceived as security threats (Yurdakul & Korteweg, 2021 ; see also Andreassen & Siim, 2010 ).…”

“…Endvidere fremstilles tørklaedet som et tegn på islams kvindeundertrykkelse, der strider mod vestlige opfattelser af ligestilling mellem kønnene (fx Roggeband & Verloo 2007;Rosenberger & Sauer 2012;Scott 2007). Danske studier viser ligeledes, at omdrejningspunktet for den offentlige debat om det muslimske tørklaede i Danmark er køn og ligestilling, hvortil kommer, at ikkevestlige kvinder fremstilles negativt og stereotypt i debatterne (Andreassen & Siim 2010). Som påpeget af postkolonial feministisk kritik (Arnfred 2007;Mohanty 2007) på forhånd er undertrykt af deres religion og deres aggressive maend, samtidig med at de alle fremstår som uuddannede og bundet af traditioner og til hjemmet.…”

“…Dermed opgiver politikerne en tiltro til idraet som integrationsfremmende per se og tager afstand fra positiv saerbehandling eller servicedifferentiering, som isaer i lyset af den lave idraetsdeltagelse og den dårlige helbredstilstand blandt etniske minoritetskvinder tidligere har vaeret udbredt. Debatten illustrerer derfor ligeledes, at vaerdier som individuel valgfrihed eller religionsfrihed, som indtil for nyligt praegede den politiske praksis i nordiske velfaerdsregimer og som fx gav plads til muslimske tørklaeder i offentlige institutioner (Andreassen & Siim 2010), afløses af danskhed som den altoverskyggende vaerdiramme. Samtidig peger vores analyse også på, at der foregår magtkampe om tilhørsforhold, idet nogle politikere, udvalg, privatpersoner og repraesentanter for organisationer, der er inviteret til foretraede, og selve kvindesvømningens brugere, søger at udfordre forestillinger om danskhed, ligestilling og vejen til 'succesfuld' integration.…”
