Abstract

While surveys suggest that Danes value freedom of religion highly, in practice ethnic Danish converts to Islam report frequent negative responses to their Muslim identities, both in public settings and from friends and family. Our paper examines how active social media users amongst converts to Islam in the greater Copenhagen area negotiate both a predominantly negative media frame and negative personal reactions in their self-understanding, through personal conduct, and on social media. Interviewees report tensions between their Danish and Muslim identities, which they struggle to resolve constructively through tactics aimed at reducing the gap in majority perception between being Muslim and Danish – for example, through exemplary personal conduct, countering negative media representations, and emphasising shared values. However, most report frustration and tiredness at the daily effort and, over time, more pro-active discursive and media-based tactics tend to be replaced by a focus on local and personal relationships.

“你不再是我的骨肉”:丹麦皈依伊斯兰教者的社交媒体和敌对媒体框架谈判
虽然调查显示丹麦人高度重视宗教自由,但在实践中,皈依伊斯兰教的丹麦人报告说,他们的穆斯林身份经常受到公众场合和朋友和家人的负面反应。我们的论文研究了大哥本哈根地区皈依伊斯兰教的活跃社交媒体用户如何通过个人行为和社交媒体,在自我理解中协调主要负面的媒体框架和负面的个人反应。受访者报告了他们的丹麦人和穆斯林身份之间的紧张关系,他们努力通过旨在缩小大多数人对穆斯林和丹麦人的看法差距的策略来建设性地解决这一问题,例如,通过模范的个人行为,反对负面的媒体报道,以及强调共同的价值观。然而,大多数人在日常工作中感到沮丧和疲倦,随着时间的推移,更积极主动的话语和基于媒体的策略往往被关注当地和个人关系所取代。
