Lagermann, Laila Colding. ‘Racialized Subjects in a Colour Blind School’. International Journal on School Disaffection, vol. 10, no. 1, Jan. 2013, pp. 73–89.

In this paper I examine processes of racialization in a school in Copenhagen, Denmark. On the basis of the data produced in 2009, which is part of a larger study, I investigate themes of race as a difference-making and constituting category for subjective (human) becoming  and  racialization  as  contingent  and  negotiated  processes  (Butler,  1997). As part of the analyses I will discuss how difference and differentiation with regard to race and racialization is related to a denial of particularity as much as it can be a denial of universality (Hage, 2010), and further, how racialization intersects with marginalization.
