“…As a coping mechanism to the new form of social desirability, the slum migrants accept the social structure (rules and resources) encircling them, while constantly modifying some of this urban context with their practices (Giddens ). Hence, the co‐existence of traditional collectivism with emerging individualism in the same neighbourhood (Pedersen and Rytter ) with different health effects (Conde et al …”

Disembarking from a traditional approach of narrow hazardous environmental and structural conditions in understanding urban slums' health problems and moving towards a new notion of what constitutes health for slum dwellers will open a new avenue to recognise whether and how health is being prioritised in disadvantaged settings. Drawing on in-depth semi-structured interviews with a total of 67 men and 68 women from Kolkata slums and 62 men and 48 women from Bangalore slums, this study explored how knowledge, social realities, material and symbolic drivers of a place interweave in shaping slum-dwellers' patterned way of understanding health, and the ways health and illnesses are managed. The current study adds to the growing evidence that ordinary members of the urban slums can articulate critical linkages between their everyday sociocultural realities and health conditions, which can support the design and delivery of interventions to promote wellbeing. The concept of health is not confined to an abstract idea but manifested in slum-dwellers' sporadic practices of preventive and curative care as well as everyday living arrangements, where a complex arrangement of physical, psychological, financial, sociocultural and environmental dimensions condition their body and wellbeing.

“…The third contribution of this study is to bring to the fore the role of boundary work and contamination in the authentication and rejection of Islamic religious rituals. Our study delineates how ethnic communities create and work with symbolic boundaries (Douglas,1966) around rituals and how these rituals create and contest their identity (Pedersen and Rytter, 2017) and perception of authenticity. In this study, then, we can see the development and consequence of symbolic boundary work in action.…”

This paper explores the phenomenon of rituals as a contested intersection of religion and ethnicity and demonstrates how changes in religio-ethnic inclinations of various generations of immigrant communities influence the religious authenticity/inauthenticity of rituals. Its focus is the British Pakistani Muslim community in the UK where the emerging second and subsequent generations of British Muslims have started to redefine and contest their religious and ethnic identities. The findings, derived through interview and observation, reveal that religion has become the preeminent marker of identity, eclipsing that of ethnic identity. Through reciprocal socialization, the first generation are relearning an Islam from younger generations that is unfettered by cultural bonds. We illustrate how and why rituals are deemed inauthentic and abandoned. Findings demonstrate that authenticity/inauthenticity provides a potential outlet for reflexive consumers to assert agency against ethnic norms and ideological hailings that are at odds with their emergent religious identities. Accordingly, the study conceptualizes emergent inauthenticity to explain this phenomenon and delineates the role of boundary work and contamination in the authentication and rejection of rituals.

“…Begrebet indfanger den intersubjektive proces, som foregår mellem foraeldre og adoptivbørn, og hvor det nye barn aktivt bliver inkorporeret i større familiefortaellinger, rela tioner og slaegtsnetvaerk. Vi foreslår endvidere, at denne slaegtsskabelse sker gennem forskellige ritualiserede hverdagspraksisser (Pedersen 2014;Pedersen & Rytter 2018;Verdasco 2020), der bidrager til en faelles forandring af den unge flygtning og vaergen -en proces, Howell kalder transsubstantiation (Howell 2009:64ff. ) af den unge flygtning og vaergen.…”

En relativt stor del af de asylansøgere, der ankom til Danmark under „migrationenslange sommer“ i 2015, var under 18 år og rejste uden voksne familiemedlemmer.Antallet af uledsagede flygtninge fra Afghanistan var 844 i 2015234og 527 i 2016. Som mindreårige modtager de professionel hjælp, omsorg ogrådgivning i deres asylproces, ligesom de bor på centre med andre børn og unge.Når de bliver tildelt flygtningestatus, får de også tilknyttet en værge, det vil sigeen dansk statsborger, der har meldt sig til at hjælpe den unge med at finde sigtil rette i sin nye hjemkommune. Inspireret af Signe Howells (2006) studier aftransnational adoption i norske familier diskuterer denne artikel den dynamiskeslægtsskabelse, der ofte tager form mellem de unge flygtninge og deres værger.Den turbulente tilblivelse er imidlertid ikke kun et studie af slægts- og familieskabelse,men kan måske også være kim til en mere bæredygtig model forinklusion af flygtninge i Danmark fremover.
