Making Space for Sociability
This article aims to demonstrate the significant role children play in new suburban communities, and in particular, the extent to which their circuits of sociability contribute to social cohesion in the suburbs. The discussion is located within the field of sociology of childhood, which argues that children are active agents who help to create and sustain social bonds within their neighborhoods. Drawing on focus group discussions and short essays…
The Suburban Front Garden
This article argues that the physical structure of the front garden and its ecosystem is determined by an ensemble of diverse social and natural processes. The essential social form is that of visuality, an abstract compositional force that provides conventions for assessing objects as well as for reshaping their surface countenance and establishing their location within the garden. Accordingly, the social processes of visuality are materially re…

Exclusionary protests in urban Ireland
This article examines those collective protests in urban Ireland that aim at excluding some categories of people from the local area. Travellers, drug-users, asylum-seekers, undesirable services such as rehabilitation clinics or community for mentally ill patients represent the main targets of actions by local residents. The distinctive feature of exclusionary protests are analysed in terms of the issues raised, the targets of the action, the par…
The constitution of protest as sign in contemporary Ireland
Charles Tilly has portrayed collective protests, from the middle of the nineteenth century on, as shows of strength and clashes of might. More recently it is contended that new forms of collective action have developed and, according to Alberto Melucci, they operate more and more as signs. This article looks at the strategies through which such protests are constituted, or constitute themselves, as signs. Five main strategies are identified: famo…
Bourdieu's Field and the Sociology of Welfare
Bourdieu conceptualises most aspects of social life in terms of fields, which constitute sites of struggle over a central stake. The resources which are used in these struggles, and whose appropriation is at stake, are defined as types of capital: economic, cultural, social and symbolic. Each field involves a set of players, of agents who are engaged in practices and strategies on the basis of an habitus. It is contended in this article that such…
Welfare and state centralisation
The expansion of the welfare state is said to have led to the direct involvement of local government in the provision of social services. Increased participation of local government in welfare services would furthermore produce a centralisation of power. In this article, the above sequence of links is investigated in eight West European countries. One observes no strong correlation between the level of welfare provision and the level of state cen…
