In this article I focus on stigma, and more specifically on territorial stigma in a Dutch suburb built in the 1970s. This publication is based on ethnographic fieldwork that lasted two and half years and which took place at the end of the 1980s. The data is reanalyzed in the light of recent developments in studies on stigma and territorial stigma, specifically how this is countered. I will use the conceptual pair—doing stigma and undoing stigma—to unpack stigma as a complex and dynamic process in which a diverse range of actors, such as inhabitants, civil servants and youth, are involved. The aim of this article is twofold: to describe and analyze the social construction of territorial stigma (doing stigma) of the neighborhood over a period of ten years and whether and how this stigma is countered (undoing stigma). This article highlights the agency of those targeted by stigma by paying attention to local narratives and using a multi-perspective ethnographic lens. The narratives show that stigma did not gain a master status because (1) the stigma producers were marginal in the social world of the targeted inhabitants and (2) it did not align with structural stigma (as in e.g., housing, health care, income, and education).

消除/消除耻辱：领土耻辱的道德事业

在本文中，我重点关注耻辱，更具体地说是 20 世纪 70 年代荷兰郊区的领土耻辱。本出版物基于 20 世纪 80 年代末持续两年半的民族志田野调查。根据耻辱和领土耻辱研究的最新进展，特别是如何应对这种耻辱，对数据进行了重新分析。我将使用概念对——消除污名和消除污名——将污名解释为一个复杂而动态的过程，其中涉及居民、公务员和青年等各种行为者。本文的目的是双重的：描述和分析十年来邻里地域耻辱（做耻辱）的社会建构，以及这种耻辱是否以及如何被反击（消除耻辱）。本文通过关注当地叙事并使用多视角民族志镜头，强调了那些被污名化的目标群体的作用。这些叙述表明，耻辱并未获得主导地位，因为（1）耻辱制造者在目标居民的社会世界中处于边缘地位，（2）它与结构性耻辱不一致（例如在住房、医疗保健、收入等方面）。和教育）。
