HJEMLIGHED SOM VELFÆRDSPARADOKS: Om iscenesat autenticitet i døgninstitutioner for anbragte børn
2009
The article is built upon a fi eldwork in Danish children’s homes which analyses
what it means to social workers and children to be a homey institution. The ideal
of hominess is presented as a paradoxical idea producing several contradictions
and dilemmas in the everyday life of the institution. The article presents the
historical background for this problem, with a focus on the ideal of authenticity
both as a product of, and a counter-strategy to, modernity.
Keywords: Home, hominess, social work, children’s homes.
