aktørernes

Aktørernes is a Danish possessive form used to indicate something belonging to the aktører, i.e., the actors or agents in a given context. The base noun aktør can refer to a performing artist, a person or entity that acts, or more generally a stakeholder or agent in a system. In Danish, aktører is the plural form, aktørerne is the definite plural meaning “the actors,” and aktørernes is the genitive plural meaning “the actors’” or “of the actors.”

Etymology and broad meaning. The word aktør comes from the Latin/ French lineage related to acting or acting as an agent. In contemporary Danish, aktør is used across domains such as theater and film (performers), but also in social sciences and political discourse to denote participants, participants’ networks, or stakeholders within a process or institution. As a result, aktørernes can refer to the possessions, interests, influence, or roles of those actors.

Usage in discourse. Aktørerne is commonly used when discussing the roles and interactions of people or entities within a system, for example in policy analysis, organizational studies, or media studies. Aktørernes interests, priorites, eller ressourcer may be contrasted or aligned, depending on the context. The term emphasizes agency and the multiplicity of participants rather than a single actor.
