Suicide and Place
Suicidality affects individuals, social networks, and societies. Despite strong evidence for the social determinants of suicide, suicidality is typically treated as a private psychological issue with interventions at an individual or interpersonal level. With a sociological imagination, private troubles are public issues. Suicide has been consistently associated with local area characteristics (e.g. economic disadvantage, rurality, urbanicity, so…
Restaging Afghanistan
Western, especially British interventions in Afghanistan, parallel the long history of photography. This article examines the resulting archive and considers its ongoing influence on the traditions of conflict photography through the concept of the 'Feedback Loop' coined by photographer Tim Hetherington. Hetherington's work is used as a departure point for an examination of the archival legacy of the male-gendered western gaze in ongoing western …

From ‘Brother Boer’ to ‘Dirty Boers’
The Anglo-Boer War marks a fascinating intersection between two colonial powers and the use of the press and associated news-carrying popular cultural forms as a means of shaping public opinion and demonizing Britain’s ‘enemy’. The publication of photographs in magazines and the popular press via the halftone process was a very recent development and coincided with a propaganda campaign to denigrate the Boers as an uncivilized and brutal colonial…
Fresh From the Front’
This paper examines the complex relationships between news coverage of the Boer war and popular cultural translations of key themes, events and personalities. It is concerned with the process by which news became part of a war culture predominantly based on performance and performance texts and the role that popular culture played in the mediation, editorializing and management of the news

Photography, vice and the moral dilemma in Victorian Britain
This article is drawn largely from work in progress on criminal prosecutions for obscenity in the 1860s and 1870s, and particularly on the case of Henry Evans, which marks a distinct turning point in the relationship between photographers, artists and the Law in relation to the question of photographic obscenity and the policing of technological image production in mid to late Victorian Britain
Photography, crime and social control
These extracts map the impact of the photographic image within Victorian society and reveal an increasing interest and subsequent reliance on photography as a means of identifying, classifying and
