“…Slootman, ). Similar practices have been observed in countries with comparable histories of immigration, such as Germany (Bozay, ), France (Simon, ), and Belgium (Jaspers, ). Labelling oneself anything other than Dutch has been implied to signal a strong identification with, and orientation to, the country of origin (e.g.…”

This paper contributes to a deeper understanding of ethnic labelling practices by examining their interactional functions among secondary school pupils in Venlo, the Netherlands. Pupils with migration backgrounds often labelled themselves and others “Turk,” “Moroccan,” or “foreigner,” and labelled others “Dutch.” The paper highlights that ethnic labelling can be understood not only as identity construction, but also as interactional work. I build on membership categorization analysis (MCA), complemented by conversation analysis (CA), to analyse how pupils’ use of ethnic labels evoked an expert role which altered interactants’ power positions; and how, often, pupils engaged in jocular mockery with ethnic labels and in that way mitigated the effects of exclusionary and stigmatizing discourses about people with migration backgrounds. Finally, I argue that pupils’ labelling practices had locally occasioned meanings and functions, but that they ultimately reflect wider‐spread systems of categorization and marginalization of people with migration backgrounds in the Netherlands.

“…This dissertation contributes to a deeper understanding of ethnic labelling practices by examining their situated meanings and interactional functions, while also taking into account their relations to larger scale processes and discourses. Migrants' descendants have been observed to label themselves in reference to their (family's) country of descent (rather than the country of residence) in countries with histories of immigration comparable to the Netherlands, such as Germany (Bozay 2012) than the concept of 'identity' when analyzing the practice of self-and othercategorization in ethnic terms. Even when 'ethnic' terms are used, 'ethnicity' or 'identity' may not be the main issue on participants' minds.…”

“…Ik heb bijgedragen aan een dieper begrip van etnische categorisatie door de lokale betekenissen en interactionele functies hiervan te analyseren, en daarbij in acht te nemen hoe deze lokale betekenissen en functies in verband staan met discoursen die in Nederland op een bredere, maatschappelijke schaal voorkomen. In verschillende landen met een vergelijkbare immigratiegeschiedenissen is geobserveerd dat migranten en hun nageslacht zichzelf categoriseren aan de hand van het land van afkomst, in plaats van het land van verblijf (bijvoorbeeld in Duitsland, zie Bozay 2012, in Frankrijk, zie Simon 2012, en in België, zie Jaspers 2011a. Hoewel veel sociolinguïstisch en antropologisch werk heeft benadrukt dat etnische identiteiten contextspecifiek, intersubjectief, en discursief vormgegeven zijn, en onderhandeld worden in interactie (zie bijv.…”

“…J'ai contribué à une compréhension plus approfondie de la catégorisation ethnique en analysant ses significations et ses fonctions interactionnelles locales, en tenant compte de la manière dont ces significations et fonctions locales sont en lien avec les discours qui se produisent à plus grande échelle sociale aux Pays-Bas. Dans plusieurs pays ayant une histoire d'immigration similaire, on a observé que les étrangers et leur descendance se catégorisent en fonction de leur pays d'origine plutôt que de leur pays de résidence (par exemple en Allemagne, voir Bozay 2012, en France, voir Simon 2012, et en Belgique, voir Jaspers 2011a). Bien que de nombreux travaux sociolinguistiques et anthropologiques aient insisté sur le fait que les identités ethniques sont spécifiques au contexte, intersubjectives et discursives, et qu'elles se négocient en interaction (voir par exemple Androutsopoulos et Georgakopoulou 2003 ;Jaspers 2005b ;Jørgensen 2005 ;Rampton 2005), l'auto-catégorisation par pays d'origine est encore souvent interprétée comme un manque d'identification avec le pays de résidence (voir par exemple Agirdag, van Un message important de cette thèse est que, pour savoir ce que signifient les étiquettes ethniques et les raisons pour lesquelles les gens les utilisent, il est nécessaire d'étudier les données interactionnelles dans un contexte que le chercheur connaît bien ; en d'autres termes, il faut adopter une approche sociolinguistique et ethnographique dans laquelle les conditions locales et les processus à plus grande échelle sont pris en considération.…”

In the current literature, ethnicity is often understood as a kind of identity. In the next section, I will therefore zoom in on approaches to ethnicity and ethnic identification. Beyond constructivism in approaches to ethnicityApproaches to ethnicity have undergone developments similar to approaches to (other kinds of) identity as expounded in the previous section. Once, ethnicity was treated as a taken-for-granted and unquestioned category, and the study of it was characterized by a search for essences and definitions of certain 'ethnic groups.' This approach has been called essentialism and is premised on the idea that ethnicity is acquired through birth, represents a given characteristic of the social world, and that members of the same ethnic group are somehow 'essentially' similar to one another and different from members of other ethnic groups (Wimmer 2013). This position has largely been replaced with a more soci...
