Stop the Spread’
This study expounds on the media’s role in legitimating criminalization, lateral surveillance, and stigmatization as the appropriate response to violating public health restrictions in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada. Specifically, our qualitative content analysis of news articles (n = 66) reveals how media echoed politicians’ calls to “stop the spread” of the virus by making personal sacrifices, relied heavily on law enforcement s…
Paramilitary Violence and Human Rights
During the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the vast majority of unlawful killings and maimings were perpetrated by republican and loyalist paramilitaries. Primitive forms of “punishment” by these organisations were common, as were cold-blooded murders. The vigilante-style “punishment” attacks excited less concern than might be expected, even from human rights organisations in Northern Ireland. Yet the international human rights community, including…
The Famine That Wasn't? Ireland, 1799–1801
This paper re-examines the period of potential famine in Ireland between 1799 and 1801, reframing it as the “Famine that Wasn't.” Although successive harvest failures occurred during these years—back-to-back crop failures in 1799 and 1800—famine conditions did not follow. The study critically investigates how Ireland avoided mass starvation despite these climatic and agricultural challenges in a period better known for constitutional change, nota…

Religious affiliation and child mortality in Ireland
Previous studies have identified a link between religious affiliation and child mortality, yet the underlying factors that contributed to this association are not fully understood. This study investigates how religious affiliation might have influenced child mortality in early 20th- century Ireland, having controlled for socio-economic status, literacy, and place of residence at both individual and contextual levels. We utilize the 1911 IPUMS Iri…
Documenting the Document
Drawing on case files from a Canadian provincial review board tasked with determining the disposition of persons found ‘not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder’, we explore the role of the forensic hospital report in the production of medico-legal risk knowledges. Through a detailed case study, we show how the report's content and particular material form allow the Board to produce the ‘significantly threatening individual’ – the…
Constructing Risk through Jurisdictional Talk
The Ontario Review Board (ORB) makes and reviews dispositions that limit the freedoms of individuals found not criminally responsible (NCR) due to a “mental disorder.” Their dispositions must be responsive to the risk NCR individuals pose to the public. To assess how risk is measured, the authors studied twenty-six publicly accessible court files pertaining to the appeal of ORB dispositions. The authors studied hospital reports, the ORB’s disposi…
Religion and Child Death in Ireland’s Industrial Capital
Ireland is often seen as an outlier within the western world in terms of demographic behavior. As a society it has also been noted for its religious fervor, including religious division, at least until fairly recently. Might there be connections historically between these two spheres? One intriguing area of enquiry relates to possible links between religious denomination and child mortality. We explore this possibility using individual-level data…

How White Americans Became Irish
The origin stories of Irish America have been core narratives within the “making-of-America” discourse of the nation's founding and development and were especially potent in the cementing, in the mid-twentieth century, of the idea of the US as “a nation of immigrants.” It is an idea that has done significant psychological as well as cultural and political work for white ethnics in the US, glossing important elements of whiteness as a racial forma…
Security, Suspicion, and Surveillance? There’s an App for That
Despite the recent rise in popularity of mobile safety applications, social scientists have yet to examine these applications in any considerable depth. In this paper we undertake the case studies of bSafe, Citizen, and Nextdoor – analyzing promotional materials and blog posts – in order to further theorize digital security consumption and the potential concomitant social harms. We find these app companies frame crime and risk in ways that obscur…
Essential for the soul’
As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded in Canada, leisure activities and spaces became major sites of public debate and emotional expression about the efficacy, ethics, and social impacts of restrictive public health measures, as well as sites for the support or defiance of pandemic-related restrictions. In this paper, we analyze the ways that news media understood and represented public health measures and their relation to recreation, and participat…

Afterlives
Older Irish Catholics remember a metaphysical space or place called Limbo. This was the destination of unbaptized infants. They could never enter Heaven because the stain of original sin had not been removed. In addition, they were denied burial in consecrated ground. Fear of such eventualities drove parents to baptize as soon as possible. Nor was this a purely Irish phenomenon. In emergency cases, even baptism in utero was permitted in some part…

Did mothers’ lives matter? The protection and promotion of maternal and infant health from the 16th to the 20th century
Too long a sacrifice? Maternal mortality in Northern Ireland during the first half of the 20th century
Le pionnier de la statistique médicale, William Farr, s’interrogeait en 1875 sur l’absence de baisse de la mortalité maternelle en Angleterre : «Combien de temps ce sacrifice de vies va-t-il durer ? » La même question aurait pu être posée, avec bien plus d’acuité, à propos de l’Irlande voisine et, en particulier, de l’Irlande du Nord où, selon certaines autorités, la mortalité maternelle était encore plus forte. Cet article retrace l’évolution de…

Whenever there’s trouble, just yelp for help”
With few exceptions, cultural criminologists have yet to investigate how crime, criminalized individuals, and punishment are depicted in children’s television programming. Undertaking the case study of the popular animated children’s series PAW Patrol, I find that crime is committed predominantly by literal outsiders and that wrongdoers are temporarily warehoused or forced to engage in hard labor. In this world, politicians are presented as incom…
Discipline that hurts”
In this paper, we undertake a case study of the National Hockey League’s supplementary discipline regime to reflect on the ways in which discourses about social harm are configured, taken up and used in the sporting landscape and how they reflect and reify narrow understandings of crime and punishment. We find that the hockey world employs predictable crime and justice metaphors when discussing on-ice violence and suggest this breeds fear and leg…
Irish fever’ in Britain during the Great Famine
During the worst year of the Great Irish Famine, ‘Black ’47’, tens of thousands of people fled across the Irish Sea from Ireland to Britain, desperately escaping the starvation and disease plaguing their country. These refugees, crowding unavoidably into the most insalubrious accommodation British towns and cities had to offer, were soon blamed for deadly outbreaks of epidemic typhus which emerged across the country during the first half of 1847.…
Enduring Freedom
The great struggles of the twentieth century between liberty and totalitarianism ended with a decisive victory for the forces of freedom—and a single sustainable model for national success: freedom, democracy, and free enterprise. National Security Strategy, 20021 Our strategy must be comprehensive, because the challenge we face is greater and more complex than the threat. The victory of freedom in the Cold War was won only when the West remember…

War and Postwar Violence
Wars are related to subsequent violence in complex and at times contradictory ways. The relationships between war and postwar violence, recognized throughout history, have attracted the attention and concern of researchers, state officials, and policy makers and the broader public. Methodological challenges, however, limit the potential for isolating the precise circumstances under which war and postwar violence are causally related. The weight o…

The early response of the Irish catholic clergy to the co-operative movement
The primary aim of this paper is to assess the role of the Roman Catholic clergy in agricultural co-operative development, drawing on evidence from the last decade of the 19th and the early decades of the 20th century. It is hardly possible, however, to treat such activity in isolation from the manifold preoccupations of rural society, as in practice no clear demarcation existed between economic and non-economic activity. An attempt is made to pl…
Soldier photography
This article focuses on the production and dissemination of photographic images by serving US soldiers in Iraq who are photographing their experiences and posting them on the Internet. This form of visual communication – in real time and communal – is new in the representation of warfare; in earlier wars soldiers took photographs, but these were not immediately shared in the way websites can disseminate images globally. This digital generation of…
We Are All Broncos”
There exists a broad body of scholarly work that focuses on how communities, and individuals therein, mobilize, respond, and harvest collective action in response to tragedy. Despite this interest, there remains a dearth of empirical investigation into the complex intersections of tragedy, sport, and community. Utilizing qualitative approaches to discourse analysis and quantitative measures of sentiment, semantic, and content analysis of news med…
Strangers in a strange land
A wide range of scholarship examining the global effects of neo-liberalism draws attention to the precarious position of individuals who are not seen as part of the social body. While immigrants, racial minorities, and common criminals are central to this discourse, relatively little research has examined how the experiences of these individuals may vary based on statuses other than citizenship when they are imprisoned. Our research focuses on th…
Spectres of comparison American studies and the United States of the West
This article considers some of the ways in which 'America' functions as a screen for localized concerns in the work of European intellectuals and academics, often as a barely acknowledged dialectic that reflects back on the uncertainties of European identity. In the last few years, this dialectic has operated under the growing shadow of American empire and European estrangement from the USA. The first part of this article examines selected Europe…

Photojournalism and Warfare in a Postphotographic Age
This essay will consider some of the challenges faced by contemporary photojournalism in the documentation of twenty-first-century warfare. More particularly, it will examine representations of American military power in a “postphotographic” age, an image-saturated era in which the violent conduct of war has become less tangible or accountable in documentary terms. I will examine some of the ideas and arguments about the limits of photojournalism…
Longtermer blues’
While much has been written about how and why punishment has transformed in recent years, less is known about how this supposed paradigm shift might have shaped the lives of prisoners. Through a content analysis of The Angolite prison news magazine from the years 1979 to 2001, this article traces Angola's trajectory over the last several decades of the 20th century, examines how this path was informed by national law-and-order trends, penal polit…

Man I’m all torn up inside’
Despite the preoccupation with media depictions of crime and criminal justice, few studies have employed qualitative methodologies to investigate how audience members engage with, react to, and interpret media content. This analysis of Reddit forums dedicated to the 2015 Netflix documentary series Making a Murderer reveals the wide range of responses to the series and demonstrates the value of looking to user-generated content on social media pla…
Today they kill with the chair instead of the tree”
Extending the burgeoning body of work on the penal tourism industry, this project investigates how slavery is forgotten and remembered at a US plantation prison. Through a case study of Angola, I explore if and how the prison’s plantation history is acknowledged at the prison rodeo and arts and crafts festival, commemorated in museum exhibits, and discussed in prisoner writings. My analysis reveals the contested nature of Angola’s history and the…
He Must Learn What Being a Man is All About
Much of what has been written about masculinities inside prisons focuses on the pressure to live up to a hypermasculine ideal that privileges aggression, the concealment of vulnerability, and the victimization of weaker inmates. Believing this approach lacks nuance, I explore how prisoners writing in The Angolite, the Louisiana State Penitentiary’s prison newsmagazine, conceive of manhood. Incorporating hundreds of men’s voices into this discussi…

During the Vietnam War, photojournalists had opportunities to develop a fresh visual awareness about war and its representations, especially those who stayed for long periods.

The evolution of his work over nine years in Vietnam illustrates some …

Studies in Irish econometric history
‘Compared with present work in British and American economic history’, observes Dr L. A. Clarkson, ‘current Irish writing looks a trifle old-fashioned, with the bewitching voices of the social sciences muted and statistical wizardry missing’. While historically-minded sociologists might consider that this judgement of a meagre contribution from the social sciences needs qualification, there is no doubt that studies embodying sophisticated quantit…

‘A woman who has had an illegitimate child is looked on with contempt, and would not be associated with. But the young women have a great deal of discretion, and few of them go astray in that way.’ Parish of St. Mary's, Cork, 1835 While the claim may seem surprising, Irish society enjoys no mean place in the history of sexuality. Malthus may be said to have re-focused attention on the folly of giving free rein to the passion between the sexes, an…

Weights and Measures of the Major Food Commodities in Early Nineteenth–Century Ireland
This paper describes in detail and discusses the regıonal variation of weıghts and measures of major food commodities (potatoes, oats, oatmeal, wheat, barley, rye, butter and milk) in early nineteenth-century Ireland. It builds upon the exposition by Wakefield and Bourke of weıghts and measures in Ireland before the Great Famıne. New sources examined include estate records, market reports in regional and local newspapers, archıves of the Irısh Fo…

Photography was everywhere in those first few days ... ,1 The photographic image proliferated around the events of September 11 and their aftermath.

Around the world on September 12, the front covers of newspapers depicted the twin tower…

American Studies Without Tears, or What Does America Want
As Americanists, we commonly approach "America" with suspicion, fear, even anger; we view it as a powerful, duplicitous force to be denounced or demystified. This paper speculates on why this might be so and in particular considers the troubled relationships at that heart of this dilemma—relations between pleasure and knowledge, and between sentiment and critique. This trouble is evident in the difficulties we experience in working through these …
