Abstract

This article seeks to conceptualize and analyze how processes of deglobalization are interde-pendently connected with processes of dehumanization, double bind and racialization in the field of radicalization of ethnic and religious minorities in Denmark. We analyze two sociopolitical cases to show how deglobalization takes form in local practice, enabling or limiting specific sub-jects’ and groups’ possibilities of being perceived and accepted as Danish citizens. Relations be-tween radicalization and dehumanization are explored across subjective, societal, political and discursive practices linked to double-bind processes and possible movements beyond them. Our aim is to establish a theoretical framework for exploring a psychology of deglobalization that takes into account processes of racialization, mis-interpellation, double bind and the possibilities for rehumanization.
