摘要本文论述了与融合概念有关的一些问题，丹麦自1990年代以来一直使用(和滥用)这一概念来讨论与少数民族日常生活有关的社会经济、文化和宗教挑战。融合的概念并不是无辜的，它既促进了丹麦社会的具体概念化，也促进了移民少数群体及其与土著多数的关系的问题化。基于近几十年来在丹麦进行的民族志研究，本文试图通过勾勒出三种情景来解开占主导地位的社会想象：福利互惠、主人和客人以及作为土著人民的丹麦人。这些情景巩固了多数人和少数人之间的不对称关系，因为它们同时使融合成为可取的和不可能的。最后，受Lila Abu-Lughod的开创性文章《反对文化的写作》的启发，文章提出了反对整合的写作策略，以重新获得学术分析的批判性潜力。
ABSTRACT The article addresses some of the problems related to the concept of integration, which has been used (and abused) in Denmark since the 1990s to discuss socio-economic, cultural and religious challenges related to the everyday life of ethnic minorities. The concept of integration is not innocent but promotes both a specific conceptualisation of Danish society and a problematisation of immigrant minorities and their relationship to the indigenous majority. Based on the ethnographic studies conducted in Denmark in recent decades, the article attempts to disentangle the dominant social imaginary by outlining three scenarios: ‘welfare reciprocity’, ‘host and guests’ and ‘the Danes as an indigenous people’. These scenarios consolidate an asymmetrical relationship between majorities and minorities because they simultaneously cast integration as desirable and impossible. Finally, inspired by Lila Abu-Lughod’s seminal article ‘writing against culture’, the article suggests strategies of ‘writing against integration’ in order to regain the critical potential of academic analysis.
