Canboulay and the Negre Jardin: Combat, Carnival, and the City in Nineteenth-Century Trinidad
Coming to terms with Trinidadian Carnival means dealing not only with its current manifestations but also with its often fraught history linked to imperialism and enslavement. A Catholic festivity, Carnival’s development is linked not only to European influences but also to African traditions and black-based activities that developed on the island prior to emancipation (1838). This article traces two such developments: Canboulay, a work processio…
Slow post-fire carbon balance recovery despite increased net uptake rates in Alaskan tundra
Increasing wildfire occurrence and intensity have immediate effects on northern ecosystems due to combustion of aboveground vegetation and belowground soil organic matter. These immediate impacts have indirect and longer term effects, including deepening of the active layer, changes in soil decomposition rates, and shifts in plant community composition. Despite the increasing fire impacts across the tundra region, the implications of wildfire on …
Roots and trajectories: Essays on the legacy of Jesús Martín-Barbero in global communication studies
“Roots and Trajectories: Essays on the Legacy of Jesús Martín-Barbero in Global Communication Studies” is an introduction to this special collection for Media, Culture & Society’s Crosscurrents. Our introduction serves to contextualize and frame the role of Martín-Barbero’s theoretical roots and epistemological gaze in the essays authored by Omar Rincón (Colombia), Amparo Marroquín Parducci (El Salvador), Marwan Kraidy (Lebanon) and Nick Couldry …
Carnival in Trinidad: The Pierrot and the Pisse-en-lit in the Late Nineteenth Century
This essay focuses on the Pierrot and the Pisse-en-lit Carnival characters during the 1880s and 1890s. Pierrots rambled on about recondite events; spelled out convoluted words in a show of their supposed wisdom; and brawled with other Pierrots to commandeer streets. As to the Pisse-en-lit, these often-transvested revelers displayed bloodied clothes; exposed their underwear to passers-by; simulated sexual intercourse; carried chamber pots on their…

HIV-related stigma and optimism as predictors of anxiety and depression among HIV-positive men who have sex with men in the United Kingdom and Ireland
This study investigated the associations between forms of HIV-related optimism, HIV-related stigma, and anxiety and depression among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) in the United Kingdom and Ireland. HIV health optimism (HHO) and HIV transmission optimism (HTO) were hypothesised to be protective factors for anxiety and depression, while the components of HIV-related stigma (enacted stigma, disclosure concerns, concern with public att…

Obligatorily null pronouns in the instructional register and beyond
English is not canonically considered a pro-drop language. Despite this, it does allow null pronouns, although less freely than traditional pro-drop languages like Italian and Japanese. The focus of this paper is the instructional register (characteristic of recipes) where we claim that object pronouns are obligatorily null in English: "Take 3 eggs. Break _ into a bowl.". We present an analysis of Instructional Register Null Objects that also acc…
Serostatus Disclosure, Stigma Resistance, and Identity Management Among HIV-Positive Gay Men in Ireland
In this study, we examined how non-infectiousness due to antiretroviral therapy has affected HIV-positive gay men's experience of serostatus disclosure to casual sex partners. Interviews were conducted with 15 seropositive gay men living in Ireland. Using grounded theory, three constructions of non-disclosure were proposed-as self-protection, as a morally permissible act, and as a rejection of the HIV-positive identity. Each construction entailed…
The Roots of Football Hooliganism (RLE Sports Studies): An Historical and Sociological Study
This systematic historical and sociological study of the phenomenon of football hooliganism examines the history of crowd disorderliness at association football matches in Britain and assesses both popular and academic explanations of the problem. The authors’ study starts in the 1880s, when professional football first emerged in its modern form, charting the pre and inter-war periods and revealing that England’s World Cup triumph formed a waters…

The Politics of Economic Adjustment in a Liberal Market Economy: The Social Compensation Hypothesis Revisited
The ‘compensation hypothesis’ holds that increasing trade exposure gives rise to pressures for an expansion in public spending, especially on welfare items. We argue that the underlying relationship between economic openness and public spending and particularly on welfare effort in Ireland shows a surprising consistency that is at odds with this hypothesis. Our preliminary estimates show a persistently weak relationship between trade openness and…
Baseball in England: A Case of Prolonged Cultural Resistance
The concern within this paper is to examine how, notwithstanding the growing global power of the USA and the declining power of Britain over a period of fifty years from 1874 to 1924, a series of attempts made by American entrepreneurs to establish the game of baseball in England were, to all intents and purposes, rebuffed. On four separate occasions during this period various American baseball entrepreneurs put on exhibition matches of baseball.…

Involvement and Detachment, from Principles to Practice: A Critical Reassessment of The Established and the Outsiders
In this paper we revisit The Established and the Outsiders (Elias and Scotson 1965; second edition 1994). We argue that Elias was so intent upon demonstrating the heuristic value of his theory of established–outsider relations that he allowed these concerns to cloud his assessment of Scotson's data. We argue that the paradox is Elias had already developed more sophisticated and flexible tools for analysing the dynamic complexities of human figura…

Spectator Violence at Football Matches: Towards a Sociological Explanation
The subject of this paper is 'football hooliganism'. We shall focus centrally in this connection on the pattern of fighting between rival groups that has come to be regularly associated with soccer, not only in this country but in a number of others besides. In fact, although this rarely surfaces in the press, there is scarcely a country where Association football is played where eruptions of crowd violence have not occurred, though English fans …
Soccer Crowd Disorder and the Press: Processes of Amplification and De-amplification in Historical Perspective
The social roots of football hooligan violence
The authors review evidence suggesting that football hooliganism is the product of specific structural conditions. They essay a preliminary conceptualization of the ways in which these conditions generate a violent or aggressive masculine style, and attempt to establish what it is about professional football that has given it a lasting hold on the imaginations of sections of the working class. A tentative explanation of football crowd behaviour i…

Anthropological versus Sociological Approaches to the Study of Soccer Hooliganism: Some Critical Notes
It is argued that the anthropological approach, as used by Armstrong and Harris, has not generated any breakthrough in the study of soccer hooliganism. In particular, it is suggested that their use of a commonsense rather than a sociological concept of violence vitiates their analysis in several ways, contributing above all to substantial inconsistencies between some of their own empirical data and their general conclusions concerning levels of s…

Football Hooliganism in Britain before the First World War
This paper summarizes some preliminary findings of a three-year research project carried out at the University of Leicester. It discusses and partially refutes the theoretical explanations of football hooliganism as advanced by Taylor and Clarke. Based on historical research and a content analysis of selected reports of football hooliganism before the First World War, the paper shows that, contrary to common opinion, football hooliganism is by no…

The Origins of the 1852 Lock-Out in the British Engineering Industry Reconsidered
The engineers' lock-out of 1852 is just one of those historical events which, while receiving extensive coverage and being long pondered over, remain to this day a bone of contention. In terms of scale and in the sophistication of the tactics employed, it “was the first of a new class of strikes or lock-outs”. It aroused more sustained interest than any previous industrial dispute. It stimulated “a discussion of the strike by the press, so compre…

Multiple-Drug Use among High School Students
A survey of tobacco, alcohol and marijuana use was completed by 309 high school students in a rural midwestern county. Frequencies of use of these drugs were similar to data obtained in urban coastal populations. Significant multi-drug-use patterns were identified. Most drug use began at ages 14 or 15 and occurred in social situations implicating social factors as primary determinants of adolescents' drug use

Stability of Parental Nurturance as a Salient Predictor of Self-Esteem
The relationship of parental nurturance to self-esteem for seven distinct adolescent and early-adulthood age groups (N = 784) was investigated. Analysis showed that even though mothers' and fathers' nurturance together were more strongly related to self-esteem during the junior high school years (R2 values greater than 50% were obtained in each of the junior high samples) than during the high school and college years (R2 values less than 40% were…

Sport for all: Some public health policy issues and problems
This paper has two central objectives: (1) to examine critically the assumption underlying a central objective of many ‘Sport for all’ programmes, namely to improve people's health; (2) to illustrate, via the use of two recent British case studies, some of the complexities involved in the administration of sports policy and in coordinating sports policy with health policy. It is argued that almost all the studies which are cited to support the id…
