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 ...

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.

Since then, the municipality has launched an extensive program to increase security in the city, particularly in relation to insecurity the municipality believed was being created by socially marginalised youths.
In this thesis I examine this program with a governmentality analysis to shed light on the implications for governance of this focus on increasing security. The analysis focuses on which citizens are defined as barriers to security in the city and how their conduct is problematized with the intention of correcting it.
With reference to concrete initiatives, this analysis demonstrates how the municipality attempts to carry out security governance of citizens of Nørrebro. By focusing on the form of governance that the security program has applied, the analysis outlines what kind of security the municipality promotes and what kind of insecurity is being fought.
