Abstract

I denne artikel tager jeg udgangspunkt i at både regnskab og omsorg varierer, når de bliver kombineret i professionelle beslutningsprocesser. Jeg bruger Callon og Muniesa's (2005) brede og processuelle definition af beregning til at analysere, hvordan kendetegn ved udsatte børns situation bliver gjort relevante for valg og afmåling af sociale indsatser. Det gør det muligt at undersøge hvordan, hvornår og hvor der skelnes mellem regnskab og omsorg, fremfor at tage udgangspunkt i at regnskab og omsorg eksisterer i sig selv som stabile praksisser, der kan tages i brug eller ej.

abstract = "Within public sector accounting research, the question of how “costing” is implemented and how it transforms professional “caring” work has been widely studied and debated. Studies have, for instance, pointed to contextual variables that make cost information more or less useful in professional decision making. However, in doing so, scholars also assume that decision making follows a linear path that can be informed and transformed by cost information. In this paper, I take it as my starting point that both costing and caring vary as they are combined in professional decision‐making processes. I use the broad and processual definition of calculation from the work of Callon and Muniesa to analyze how distinctions about vulnerable children's situations are made relevant for the choice and delimitation of social services. This allows me to investigate how, when, and where distinctions between costing and caring are drawn rather than assuming that costing and caring are preexisting and stable practices that can be put to use or not.",
