ABSTRACT

In this chapter, we analyse the discourse of integration and how it becomes associated with cultural meetings between minorities and majority, and how such conceptualization in turn makes specific forms of governing possible. Certain meetings and relations are idealized, while others are problematized – not least, meetings within minorities are seen as exclusive bonding, but they can at the same time be mobilized and acted upon when it comes to meetings between coaches and participants of the same community. Acting upon such pastoral and community relations provides a starting point for outlining a variety of technologies of control, management and social reformation.
