If it has permitted, first, to slow down the deforestation rate caused by the traditional slash-and-burn practices and improved the living standards of many farmers, this process of intensification of agriculture is now questioned for its long-term effects on the environment and the socioeconomic conditions of farmers. Soil fertility decline, increasing need of inputs, vulnerability to market prices fluctuations are some of the main negative elements associated with intensive agriculture and one set of indirect causes contributing to explain the deagrarianization processes going on in many rural areas of the world. In this report, we investigate, through the livelihood framework of Ellis, the nature of these instabilities and the diversity of strategies employed by the inhabitants of a Hmo...

We are inspired by the theory on power by Michel Foucault, by poststructural theory on racism and whiteness from the field of antiracist studies, and by theory of emotions by Judith Butler and Sarah Ahmed.
The empirical data are based on two workshops with antiracist activist in Copenhagen. The workshop discussions worked as a process of collective knowledge, through reflections on experiences with racism and antiracist resistance. We understand experience in poststructuralist terms, inspired by Joan W. Scoot and Donna Haraway. This approach, allows us to have agency as a central reference in our project.
Racism works by producing subject positions corresponding with the logic of racism, and by dividing and privileging subjects and govern their relations. It can function without racists and it works in the body and mind of the subject.

The political response is welfare technology aiming on efficiency and replacement of care workers. Welfare technology is presented as a quick fix to a welfare state in crisis. In these times of change it is important to obtain more knowledge about what care work consists of, and how it is changing.
Care research has mainly focused on the paradigmatic shifts in the sector and working conditions. In a movement beyond discourse this thesis approaches care work by identifying how multiple modalities, including discourse and materialism, affect and human and non-human actors intra-act in the constitutive processes of care practices. Framed by an analysis of policy documents on welfare technology, I analyse interviews with care workers. The thesis is an analytical experiment inspired by Lis Højgaard and Dorte Marie Søndergaard’s framework for analysing multimodal constitutive processes in empirical research. Further it is inspired by feminist new-materialist theory, including Karen Barad’s theory of agential realism and Sara Ahmed and Dorthe Staunæs’ insights on affect. This approach enables an analysis of how care practices are constituted in a complex intra-action of human and non-human actors, including affect, body, gender, technology, mundane technologies, time, skills, work regulations, as well as local, institutional and societal discourses.
I find that care workers apply a variety of strategies, negotiated in relation to discourses of good care, in order to target the care recipients’ needs and influence affective transformations. Needs are identified through multi-sensory hunches seeking information from available sources: voice, facial expression, furniture, life history etc. Motivation, medication and mediation through language and use of mundane technologies are some of the other strategies applied. The strategies are constantly reshaped in relation to the context, colleagues and care recipients. The demented represent an inappropriate post-human challenge to the ideal of care. In facing this challenge care workers apply a somatic and relational approach and try to restore the self of the demented. The practices are shaped by bodily, gendered and affective subjectification of the care worker related to the hazards of the demanding work, sexual harassment and violence.
I find that there is a gap between the discourses on welfare technology and the care work practices. As a reaction to cuts and technologisation the care workers struggle for recognition and a revalorisation of their skills and the importance of humane skills in conducting care.
