Denne artikel undersøger en systematisk og allestedsnærværende humoristisk
og drillende omgangsform blandt læger og sygeplejersker på Rigshospitalet,
der defineres som mobning. Med afsæt i Michel Foucaults konceptualiseringer
af magt, modmagt og agonisme belyses, hvordan de humoristiske
krænkende drillerier emergerer i mødet mellem et lægefagligt ideal om ufejlbarlighed
og en formel stram styring af arbejdet med det formål, at de ansatte
kan ventilere frustrationer over fejlbarlige ansatte og urimelige arbejdsvilkår
på ’forbudte’, anti-autoritære måder. Vi argumenterer således for, at mobningen
kan forstås som ’funktionel’, fordi den regulerer et komplekst agonistisk
samspil mellem den formelle styring af hospitalsarbejde samt en udbredt lægefaglig
subjektivering, hvor fejl og inkompetence betragtes som illegitimt,
tabuiseret og skamfuldt.
