“…There is a need for child welfare systems to pay attention to both the cultural and material dimensions associated with social class, which seems to reinforce the relevance of Fraser's perspectival dualism "treating every practice as simultaneously economic and cultural, albeit not necessarily in equal proportions" (Fraser 2003: 63). Lazzeri (2009) argues that recognition alone may appear to present culture as a main factor behind claims and conflicts while ignoring the significant role of economy. In the case of NCWS, this is important as culture is often recognized as a primary contributing factor to the overrepresentation of migrant families; however, when controlling for economic status, there is a reduction in overrepresentation of migrants in NCWS (Berg et al 2017;Staer and Bjørknes 2015).…”

Norwegian Child Welfare Services (NCWS) has faced intense criticism regarding their interactions with migrant families, with international human rights monitoring mechanisms expressing concern regarding ethnic discrimination over the past decade. Our aim is to contribute to the academic discussion around migrant interactions with NCWS through exploring the suitability and relevance of Nancy Fraser's theory of social justice, with a particular focus on recognition. We utilize the narratives of two migrant parents and two child welfare practitioners supplemented by critiques from international human rights monitoring mechanisms to bridge the gap between the theoretical level, institutions, and daily practices. Three areas regarding the suitability of recognition in the case of NCWS are discussed: misrecognition as institutionalized subordination; equality, sameness, and difference in the Nordic welfare state; and the dynamic nature of culture. While we find recognition to be an essential element to be considered in the case of NCWS, we emphasize recognition must also be considered within Fraser's larger understanding of social justice, alongside redistribution and representation.

“…Women lost their security clearances very early in the stories of leading-edge science. (1997, p. 29) Being made absent or invisible in sites of significance, such as science labs, is symbolic of the general mechanisms that retain the misrecognition and distortion of women in current culture (Lazzeri, 2009). Anchoring this narrative in craft highlights practices of omission notably found through the absence of ethics of care in relation to accumulation (Ahmed, 2003).…”

A conceptual framework for looking and listening operates within aesthetic and affective moments when crafting objects. Assembling and modifying Sea Balls into arranged composition is my craft process that I use to access a state of mind play. Each found and modified object represents a key theoretical framework that I connect and re-organize in relation to each other to produce new ways of perceiving. Considerations of Massumi, Fish and Jameson’s (2002) notion of perception and how I experience affect through embodiment in the moment of re-crafting and re-assembling items is central to the practice. Emergent ideas occur through re-crafting found objects in conjunction with broader considerations of relational aesthetics.

“…This means that Fraser and Honneth have different definitions of social justice. Several scholars have subsequently drawn on and supported Fraser's elaborations (Garrett 2010;Lazzeri 2009;Zurn 2005).…”

Crumbs from the Rich Man's Table?: Municipal Labour Market Policies and Recognition of Welfare Recipients in Sweden

Labour market policies, also known as activation, are common responses to poverty, unemployment and social exclusion. Activation is characterised by increased individual responsibility, requiring welfare recipients to strive for financial self-sufficiency, be it through job-seeking, training or coaching. In Sweden, activation policies are also implemented in municipal welfare services such as social assistance and activation services. However, knowledge concerning the practical implications of activation for welfare recipients is lacking. The purpose of this thesis is to understand the meaning of recognition in social work with activation. The study explores themes such as poverty, dignity and inclusion in society. Theoretically, the thesis draws on Axel Honneth’s critical theory of recognition, which concerns social justice and a human need of being recognised as a full member of society. The study examines social assistance and activation services in five municipalities in southern Sweden, which participated in a project funded by the European Social Fund, as a case of activation. The project consisted of a skills training programme aimed at enhancing recognition. Social workers underwent training in recognition theory and its implementation in practice over two years. The thesis studies the outcome of the training programme, partly through a survey with social workers and partly through a pre-post-test survey with welfare recipients in the case study municipalities and in five comparison municipalities. However, the study also draws upon welfare recipients’ experiences in activation through focus group and individual interviews, and open-ended survey responses from the pre-post-test. The research findings suggest that the skills training programme did not significantly increase recognition. Also, on the one hand, welfare recipients experience the activation practices as recognising, through supportive individual interactions, increased financial resources and social esteem for work-related contributions. On the other hand, they still experience poverty, low status and limited employment prospects. The main conclusion of the thesis is therefore that welfare recipients are subject to a marginal recognition in activation. On the basis of this conclusion, a discussion is raised about the potential of social work with activation to fully recognise welfare recipients.
