“…As Quinn (2005) has noted, although decreasing dependence on parents in some form is universally seen as a goal of childhood socialisation, how parents assist children in developing autonomy, and what independence and dependence means, varies historically and between contexts. Based on analysis of biographical narratives from three generations of Norwegians, Gullestad (1996) has argued that finding and knowing oneself is a key aspect of autonomy in late-modernity and that a central task for parents is to assist their children in the process of finding themselves (p. 31).…”

“…Familien er det primaere sted for socialisering af nye borgere og således kim til samfundets kontinuitet eller forandring (Gullestad 1996). Det er ifølge antropolog Tian Sørhaug ud fra denne sammenhaeng, at vi må forstå aeldres kontrol over yngre som et universelt traek ved alle (hidtil) kendte samfund.…”

I 2002 indførte Folketinget en række nye regler vedrørende muligheden for ægtefællesammenføring til Danmark. Siden dengang har mange danske statsborgere fået afslag på ægtefællesammenføring og er i stedet flyttet til Sverige, hvor de kan opnå sammenføring under de gældende regler for EU-borgere. Blandt pakistanske migranter i Danmark har et overvejende flertal i mange år giftet sig med ægtefæller fundet i Pakistan. Gruppen af dansk-pakistanere er således i høj grad berørt af de nye familiesammenføringsregler. Baseret på etnografisk materiale, indsamlet blandt den voksende gruppe ægteskabsmigranter i Sverige, diskuterer denne artikel, hvilke konsekvenser de aktuelle familiesammenføringsregler har fået for herboende pakistaneres ægteskabsmønstre og familieliv. Artiklens første del opridser en modsatrettet værdisætning af partnervalg, som unge dansk-pakistanere stilles overfor henholdsvis deres lokale og transnationale familie på den ene side og den danske nationalstat på den anden. Familien og nationalstaten opstiller to fundamentalt forskellige ægteskabspræferencer og tilbyder følgelig forskellige fremtider. Anden del af artiklen giver eksempler på nogle af de strategier, som ægte-skabsmigranter anvender til at håndtere et familie- og hverdagsliv udstrakt mellem Danmark og Sverige. ENGELSK ABSTRACT: Mikkel Rytter: The Limit of Spouse Selection: Danish-Pakistani Marriage-migrants in Sweden In 2002 the Danish Parliament introduced a new legislation in order to hamper the practice of family reunification from non-European countries. Since then hundreds of people have been denied reunification with their foreign spouses. As a solution Danish citizens move to Sweden where they are entitled to obtain family reunification as members of the European Union. Migrants from Pakistan have been particularly affected by the new law, since the majority used to find their spouses in Pakistan. Based on ethnographic material gathered among marriage-migrants in Sweden, this article discusses the consequences of the recent legislation for marriage patterns and family organisation among Pakistanis in Denmark. The first part outlines two conflicting marriage preferences that young Danish-Pakistanis are confronted with: on the one hand by their local and transnational family and on the other by the nation-state. The clash of marriage preferences constitutes a “vital conjuncture“ that offers the youngsters different life trajectories and horizons for the future. The second part of the article illustrates some of the strategies marriage-migrants use to handle transnational family- and everyday life stretched out between Denmark and Sweden. Key words: Family reunification, marriage-migrants, arranged marriages, transnational everyday life, semi-legality.

“…For sønnerne af 68 generationen synes faren således stadig at have en anden autoritet end moren, hvilket netop knyttes til en status som mand, forsøger og samfundsborger. Det peger på, at strukturelle forandringer af betydning for foraeldreskab, som for eksempel aendringer i arbejdsmarkedsvilkårene, aendres i et hurtigere tempo end forestillingerne om køn og familie, hvorved der skabes en tidsmaessig forskydning mellem familiens strukturelle vilkår og de ideologiske og kulturelle forudsaetninger for foraeldreskab (Gullestad 1996, Hestbaek 1999). …”

Denne artikel udforsker faderlig autoritet som et historisk og sociokulturelt fænomen. Med udgangspunkt i interviews med fædre i tre generationer, analyserer jeg, hvordan mænd bruger deres egne fædre som både idealer og modbilleder i deres egen praksis som fædre. Autoritet både reproduceres og transformeres fra far til søn, og tre forskellige former for autoritet identificeres: “traditionel“, “karismarisk“ og “forhandlet“. Hvordan autoriteten praktiseres og legitimeres er et spørgsmål om generation, men afhænger også af den enkeltes mands sociokulturelle position. Med artiklen stiller jeg spørgsmålstegn ved billedet af nutidens fædre som “sekundære mødre“ og tabte sønner, der “betræder et land aldrig udforsket før“. I stedet argumenterer jeg for, at autoritet stadig er til stede i relationen mellem far og barn, men under nye præmisser og med nye udtryksformer. Jeg peger derved på, hvordan nutidens fædre, som generationerne af fædre før dem, identificerer sig selv med deres fædre som både positive og negative rollemodeller. ENGELSK ABSTRACT: Maruska la Cour Mosegaard: ’’He was a tuff old man”. The relation between father and son seen over three generations This article explores fatherly authority as a historical and sociocultural phenomenon. Taking interviews with fathers in three generations as my point of departure, I analyze how men use their own fathers as both ideals and counter-images when practizing fatherhood. Authority is both reproduced and transformed from father to son, and three different forms of authority is identified: “traditional“, “charismatic“, and “negotiated“ authority. How authority is practized and legitimized is a question of generation, but also depends on the sociocultural position of the individual man. In the article I question the picture of contemporary fathers as “secondary mothers“ and lost sons entering a “land of fatherhood never explored before“. Rather I claim that authority is still present in the relation between father and child, but on new premises and with different modes of expression. Also I call attention to how comtemporary fathers, like the generations of fathers before them, identify themselves with their fathers as both positive and negative rolemodels. Key words: Fatherhood, authority, generational differences, life forms.
