‘I’m Not Victim-Blaming, But . . .’: Young People’s Discourses in Understanding Sexual Violence Against Women
This article explores the discourses that young people (aged 18–24) in Ireland use in understanding men’s sexual violence against women (SVAW). Drawing on a two-part vignette used in interviews with young people to elicit a corpus of data, we deploy critical discourse analysis to unpack the nuanced argumentative structures, interpretive repertoires, and subject positions used in apportioning blame for SVAW. We find that when blame is placed solel…
Young people’s constructions of gender norms and attitudes towards violence against women: A critical review of qualitative empirical literature
A growing body of work highlights the increasing significance of violence against women (VAW) in the lives of young people. Research focusing on young people’s gendered attitudes and beliefs towards VAW has a key role to play in explaining and addressing this serious societal phenomenon, but to date, there has been no critical synthesis of empirical literature. This article addresses this lacuna by critically reviewing qualitative empirical resea…
I would love to do something about it’: Young men’s role in addressing violence against women in Ireland
This article reports on how young people (aged 18–24) and stakeholders working in the area of violence against women (VAW) in Ireland, perceive young men’s role in addressing VAW. We find that men are considered well positioned to intervene as active bystanders and to engage in feminist allyship. However, several barriers to men’s active bystanding and engagement with the issue of VAW, as well as ethical, theoretical and practice issues, need to …
Wherever There's Men, it can Happen”: Constructions of Violence Against Women by Young Adults in Ireland
Given the growing concern about perpetration of violence against women (VAW) amongst young adults, this article examines how a sample ( n = 27) of Irish young adults (18-24 years) construct the term VAW. Participants drew on personal experiences to describe the term and were cognisant of the gendered perpetration of domestic, psychological, and sexual violence. A group of participants, however, constructed narrow understandings of VAW that did no…
‘They’re you know, their audience’: How women are (ab)used to cement the heterosexual bonds between men
This paper explores how young people (aged 18–24 years) in Ireland attribute young men's sexual harassment and violence against women both to the situational demands of what we call ‘heteromasculine homosociality’ and young men's negotiation of role taking with women. Interpreting young people's explanations for sexual violence, the paper argues that through different forms of sexual harassment and violence, women are (ab)used to cement the heter…
Some Useful Sources
Stigma in the context of welfare and austerity capitalism has been the subject of sustained analysis in recent years, much of which will have been reflected in this themed section. We will not reiterate all sources drawn upon here. Instead, we identify what we feel are key texts and resources ranging from the historical and foundational to more recent contributions. In keeping with the overall approach of this themed section, contributions are dr…

What Can Welfare Stigma Do
In this ‘state of the art’ review, we draw on the Irish and UK context to ask ‘what can welfare stigma do?’ Our question provokes thinking about welfare stigma not as an inevitable ‘cost’ of the structure of welfare provision, but as something that does socio-political work and which may be deliberately mobilised to do so. This, we argue, is a particularly pertinent question to ask in the Irish and UK contexts, bound together by some shared liber…
Performing masculinity and the micropolitics of youth cafés in Ireland: An ethnography
This paper contributes to the literature on geographies of masculinities by examining how young men’s (aged 12–18) performances of masculinity through humour was mutually constitutive of and constituted by the spaces of the Fusion and Retro youth cafés in the city and suburbs of Cork in the south of Ireland. Research on open access youth provision such as youth clubs, centres and youth cafés have found that they can afford young people the opport…
Aristotle's Generation of Animals: A Critical Guide
Generation of Animals is one of Aristotle's most mature, sophisticated, and carefully crafted scientific writings. His overall goal is to provide a comprehensive and systematic account of how animals reproduce, including a study of their reproductive organs, what we would call fertilization, embryogenesis, and organogenesis. In this book, international experts present thirteen original essays providing a philosophically and historically informed …

Science and Scientific Inquiry in Aristotle: A Platonic Provenance
Aristotle's word for science is epistêmê, which has at least a dual use in the Greek of his day and is standardly used, in one way, as a count noun, to mean “a science.” Thus, in this usage, one can say that geometry, or phusikê (natural science), or metaphysics is (an) epistêmê, a science. Here the term epistêmê designates a special sort of systematic body of truth or fact that may or may not have yet been discovered, or fully discovered. In Pla…
Two Standards For Inquiry In Aristotle’s De Caelo
In 1.11, 105a3 ff., Aristotle contrasts two types of questions, those which may be dealt with by Xoyo; or reasoned dialectical argument and others which can and should simply be settled by perception, such as whether snow is white or not. Aristotle claims that Plato was the first to posit numbers and forms as separate from perceptible things. This, Aristotle says, resulted from Plato's mode of inquiry. Plato was the first to use this mode of inqu…
Perception Naturalized in Aristotle’s De Anima
Perhaps the most prominent feature of Aristotle’s general introduction to his psychological works, in the opening chapter of the De Anima, is his insistence that what he expects to do there is not only genuine science but also genuine natural science ( phusike). The first half of that first chapter (402a1–403a3) mainly introduces features of Aristotle’s intended method that are dictated by the fact that what he expects to do is science as he unde…
The cognitive structure of the domain of safe and unsafe gay sexual behaviour in Belgium
This study compares the cognitive structure of sexual techniques of safe versus unsafe gay men older than 30 years. Subjects rated 25 sexual techniques by six bipolar adjective scales making up a short version of the semantic differential. Scales measured subjects' perception of the safety and gratification potential of the sexual techniques. We used cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling and factor analysis. Subjects reporting no unprotected…
Reasons for having sex and sexual risk-taking: A study of heterosexual male STD clinic patients
Individuals report a variety of reasons for having sex. Understanding these reasons can improve HIV and STD prevention efforts because they may constitute an important component in the aetiology of sexual risk-taking behaviours. Relationships between self-reported reasons for having sex and frequency of participation in sexual practices among 146 heterosexual men recruited from public STD clinics in Southern California were examined. Using a self…
Younger versus older gay men: Risks, pleasures and dangers of anal sex
This study reports on the practice and the pleasure and danger perceptions of protected and unprotected anal sex of young adult gay men (< or = 30) and older gay men (30+). It is assumed that, if prevention efforts were successful, younger gay men-sexually socialized during the AIDS era-should have more favourable perceptions of anal sex with a condom. Data from a cohort of gay men in Flanders, Belgium (1993, n = 553) are used in this analysis. T…
The Problem of Dialectical Reasoning (Συλλογισμόϛ) in Aristotle
Aristotle’s Account of the Socratic Elenchus
In his Topics and Sophistical Refutations Aristotle describes a method of enquiry and of proof which he calls ‘dialectic in the strict sense and peirastic’ (SE 34, i8339I). He claims not to be inventing this method but to be giving, for the first time, a descriptive codification of the rules for the proper practice of a method already widely in use (SE 34, i83is ff.). No close student of the Topics and Sophistical Refutations can doubt that the e…
Aristotle’s Method in Natural Science: Physics I
Aristotle begins his Physics, and thus his studies in natural science generally, with a chapter on method. Further remarks on this subject are added at crucial junctures later in the work, particularly in the subsequent chapters of Book I and in Book IV. This concern with method in the Physics is just one prominent example of the explicit and self-conscious attention to method which is displayed in nearly all of Aristotle’s major works. Among oth…
Definition and scientific method in Aristotle's Posterior Analytics and Generation of Animals
The middle term [in a demonstration] is a definition of the major term.This is why all the sciences are built up through the process of definition.Posterior Analytics 11.17 99a21–3
Philosophical Issues in Aristotle's Biology
Aristotle's biological works - constituting over 25% of his surviving corpus and for centuries largely unstudied by philosophically oriented scholars - have been the subject of an increasing amount of attention of late. This collection brings together some of the best work that has been done in this area, with the aim of exhibiting the contribution that close study of these treatises can make to the understanding of Aristotle's philosophy. The bo…
