Contrary to popular belief, Greenlandic students do not always study in Denmark because they have no other choice. Many choose to study abroad and regard their time there (in Denmark and beyond) as part and parcel with their education, stating that education is not only for their own social mobility but also contributes to Greenland’s future of independence from Denmark. The article is based on a small survey and follow-up ethnographic interviews in 2011 and 2012. Through the analytical lens of cultural citizenship and “the right to be different,” this article explores how students navigate the field of tension between stereotypes about Greenlanders and Danes, belonging, distance, (im)mobility, and the future of a nation. It argues that students’ assertion of their own difference can be seen as a rejection but also an embrace of Danish, as well as Greenlandic, cultural and legal citizenships.

与所有“其他”截然不同：丹麦格陵兰学生的流动性和独立性

与普遍的看法相反，格陵兰的学生并非总是在丹麦学习，因为他们别无选择。许多人选择出国留学，并将自己在丹麦（以及以后）的时间作为其教育的一部分，并指出，教育不仅是为了自己的社会流动，而且还为格陵兰岛脱离丹麦的独立做出了贡献。本文基于2011年和2012年的一次小规模调查和后续的人种学访谈。本文通过文化公民身份和“与众不同的权利”的分析视角，探讨了学生如何应对关于格陵兰人和成见的刻板印象之间的紧张领域。丹麦人，归属，距离，（行动）动静以及一个国家的未来。它认为，学生对自己的差异的主张可以被视为拒绝，但也可以看作是对丹麦的拥抱，
