Hunting Pictures of Wartime: Photographic Encounters in a Vernacular Archive from the Colonial War in Angola (1961-741)
What occurs when soldiers’ private photographs enter the public domain? This article examines a digital vernacular repository and its collection of personal images from the Portuguese colonial war (1961-74). Drawing on archival analysis, interviews, and ethnographic research regarding the production, uses, and circulation of war photography, it discusses the transformation of photographs from objects of affect into objects of public scrutiny. By …

Curating the Past: Memory, History, and Private Photographs of the Portuguese Colonial Wars
Ninguém faz a guerra sozinho. O trabalho da memória nos encontros de ex-combatentes portugueses da guerra colonial/de libertação em Angola
Este artigo examina o trabalho coletivo de construção de memória nos encontros de veteranos da guerra colonial/de libertação de Angola. Partindo de observação etnográfica de reuniões anuais de uma companhia portuguesa de artilharia que combateu no país entre 1971 e 1973 e de entrevistas em profundidade com ex-combatentes, o artigo propõe um olhar etnográfico sobre a revisitação contemporânea de um passado ainda sob escrutínio. Analisam-se os enco…
Distorted Reality: A Commentary on DiMarco et al. (2022) and the Question of Male Sexual Victimization
Our commentary responds to claims made by DiMarco and colleagues in an article published in this journal that the majority of victims of rape are men and that 80% of those who rape men are women. Although we strongly believe that studying male sexual victimization is a highly important research and policy endeavour, we have concerns with the approach taken by DiMarco and colleagues to discuss these incidents. Specifically, we critique their paper…
A crack in everything: Violence in soldiers' narratives about the Portuguese colonial war in Angola
How do soldiers recall and voice their wartime experiences when the war they fought is under scrutiny? How do they inscribe the recollection of private affairs in a potentially contested colonial past? Drawing from an ethnography of war memory and focusing on an artillery unit’s deployment in the Portuguese colonial war in Angola, in 1971, this article tackles both the soldiers’ memories and the military reports about the unit’s length of service…
Youth Violence in Context: An Ecological Routine Activity Framework
This book places youth violence within a Routine Activity Ecological Framework. Youth violence, specifically youth exposure to community violence and youth perpetration of violent behaviors, occur within various contexts. Ahlin and Antunes situate their discussion of youth violence within an ecological framework, identifying how it is nested within four mesosystem layers: community, family, peers and schools, and youth characteristics. Contextual…
Using Vignettes to Assess Gendered Responses to Strain: The Role of Negative State Emotion in Predicting Male vs. Female Intentions to Offend
This study examines Broidy and Agnew’s propositions that gender disparity in crime may be due to (1) male and females’ experience of distinct emotional reactions to strain and (2) male and females’ response to these emotional reactions with distinct levels of offending. Using a vignette study design with measures spanning a broad range of state emotions and conditioning variables, this study adds to the range of emotion and conditioning variables…
Gender Differences in Youth Exposure to Community Violence: A Partial Test of Power-Control Theory
Youths’ exposure to community violence increases their risk for harmful emotional and behavioral outcomes. Several family management strategies protect youth against exposure though there is scant literature exploring whether their application is gendered. Using data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods, we draw from power-control theory to assess gender differences in family management strategies and the extent to which…
Locus of Control Orientation: Parents, Peers, and Place
Protecting Youth Against Exposure to Violence: Intersections of Race/Ethnicity, Neighborhood, Family, and Friends
Youths' exposure to violence (ETV) can have damaging effects especially in relation to the development of problem behaviors and psychological functioning. The devastating effects of exposure have also been found to vary by race and ethnicity. Though affirmative parenting can protect against ETV, researchers have yet to focus on the value of assessing different family management strategies and how these parenting practices may differ by race or et…
Family Management and Youth Violence: Are Parents or Community More Salient
The family and community are both key components of child socialization and they influence developmental pathways. In this study, four family management strategies (supervision, discipline, restrictiveness, and familiarity with child's peers) and potential neighborhood effects on parenting behaviors are examined. Three proximal mechanisms (exposure to violence, peer deviance, and locus of control) are also examined as mediators. Data on three coh…
Routine Activities and Television Viewing: An Exploration of the Influences of Fear of Crime in Lisbon, Portugal
In 1999, the Centre of Public Opinion Surveys (CESOP) of the Portuguese Catholic University, in collaboration with the Mayor of Lisbon's Security Department, formed the Lisbon Safety Observatory (LSO). The Centre was to conduct a series of annual surveys aimed at assessing victimization and safety issues in the city of Lisbon. The analyses revealed surprising information regarding fear of crime and victimization. Victimization was found to be ext…
De «patêgos» e «saltins: Itinerância, Fronteira E Comunidade No Circo
Why is circus itinerant?It is certainly much more than the imperative to survive or a requirement of the performative genre itself.This article proposes that the itinerancy of circus companies is an established way of life, handed down from generation to generation, as a part of reproductive strategy that articulates family organization, professional standing and spatial mobility.By following the various moments within a journey, vve shall try to…
Empresários, artistas e empregados: Estrutura E Recomposição Social No Circo1
Este artigo inicia-se com a descrição de um momento quotidiano dos circos portugueses: aquele em que toda a companhia desconhece se o espectáculo se realiza ou não. Se a possibilidade de não realização do espectáculo reúne a insatisfação geral, estes momentos de espera revelam de uma forma clara a tensão latente no ambiente das companhias e as divergências que resultam da posição que cada um ocupa na estrutura social da comunidade. Por essa razão…
