    Abstract

    The article examines how Region North Jutland (NJ) is described in the media and how the discourse on the peripheral Denmark dominates the newspaper's representation of the region. The reason for this is an interest in social inequality, and in this context Wacquant's concept of territorial stigma (1996, 2007). Wacquant adds "place of residence" to the list of social characteristics that can hamper an individual's possibilities as "territorial infamy displays properties analogous to those of bodily, moral, and tribal stigmata" (2007: 67). It is our point of departure that the discourse on peripheral Denmark is part of a territorial stigma.
