Disorder and order are among the principles through which the
articles in this issue are connected. Peter Jan Margry grasps the
exuberant excesses surrounding the Dutch monarchs birthday with the
term mobocracy and sees in the suspension of rules a means to
reconcile Dutch republicanism with the anachronism of a monarchical
system. Ongoing disorder of a rather different nature is
experienced by migrant workers from Poland in Denmark. Niels Jul
Nielsen and Marie Sandberg accompany them at work and in their
different home settings and analyse the divergent interplay of the
Polish labour niche and family dynamics on different constructions
of orderly work conditions. Stefan Groth uncovers the structuring
power of new tools and events to measure performance in
recreational cycling; competitive norms are shown to permeate a
leisure activity. Old age, too, is not free from the structuring
arm of social and health regimes. Through his analysis of billiards
a game favoured by the older men he studies Aske Juul Lassen
critiques aging policies striving to activate the elderly and
overlooking the rhythms inherent to a traditional game and
activity. The issue concludes with Tuuli Lahdesmakis comparison of
how local heritage actors choose to narrate the transnationally
launched European Heritage Label. Within an initiative to foster
Europeanization, she finds actors formulating European identities
in different moulds.
