Survivorship in the Aftermath of Genocide
The memorial at Srebrenica
This research examines the way in which the collective memory of the 1990s conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina has been established and preserved at the memorial to genocide at Srebrenica. Based on extensive fieldwork at the site and in other regions of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the study explores the ways in which gender is represented at Srebrenica in the narratives and texts that commemorate Serbian aggression against Bosnian Muslim populations. Within t…
I'll Be There for You
Marriage promotion policy agendas have focused research attention on coparenting relationships, but little is known about coparenting among teen parents. Using qualitative interviews with 76 teen mothers and fathers supplemented with site observations at a school and clinic, the authors investigated coparenting relationships and those relationships' embeddedness in extended families and social institutions. They identified prevalent coparenting t…

Through life history narratives, this article explores the isolating effects of teen motherhood on the relational world of young mothers and the transition to '…
The Cross-Generational Transmission of Trauma
This article investigates the role of ritual in the cross-generational transmission of trauma among first- and second-generation Holocaust survivors. Based on a qualitative study of thirty-five second-generation survivors, the research examines the extent to which Jewish rituals were maintained in the postwar home and the ways in which the ritual life of the survivors conveyed the traumas of the past through the emotional dynamics of ritual obser…
Gender and collective memory
This research examines the representation of women at Auschwitz. Based on fieldwork at the museum/memorial at the death camp site, the study explores the complex ways in which women's experiences are recalled through gendered narratives that reify traditional representations of women as either suffering mothers and/or sexual possessions of the perpetrators. Drawing on the methods of visual sociology in ethnographic study, the imagery in photograp…
Sociology Confronts the Holocaust
Memorializing the Sacred
This article uses field visits (including photographs) to examine the construction of religious memory in the commemoration of Kristallnacht (Crystal Night) in contemporary German society. Over the last two decades there has been a proliferation of Kristallnacht memorials to the synagogues that were destroyed during the pogroms of November 9, 1938. Based on research at 50 of these memorial sites, I explore the way in which violence against the sy…

Based on an ethnographic study of modern descendants of the Spanish crypto-Jews, the work applies self-in-relation theory to the study of spirituality and religious belief acquisition among a population of individuals who, in adulthood, have modified their religious world view as a result of their crypto-Jewish heritage. …

Deconversion from Religious Movements
In this paper deconversion from authoritarian religious movements is studied from the perspective of disaffection as it is expressed through the severing of socio-emotional bonds to the religious leader. Within this framework, a two-stage process of separation is elaborated in which bonds to the group are severed first, followed by the emotional disengagement from the charismatic leader. The bond between the leader and follower is shown to be mos…

Women, Ritual, and Power
Within the contemporary women's spirituality movement the practice of ritual has become associated with the dynamics of transformation and empowerment. Women-centered rituals that legitimate notions of female power through the symbol of the goddess have provided a setting for spiritual and social affiliation among women alienated and estranged from the dominant culture. Thus, as Margo Adler points out, the rise of neopagan feminist movements over…

Defenders of the Faith
In this first in-depth portrait of ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel today, Samuel Heilman introduces a community that to many may seem to be the very embodiment of the Jewish past. To outsiders who stumble upon these neighborhoods and find bearded men in caftans, children with earlocks, and women in long dresses, black kerchiefs and stockings, it may appear that these people still hold fast to every tradition while turning their backs to the contemp…

En mettant en lumiere la genese de la culture crypto-juive, l'A. s'interroge sur le lien qui y unit les femmes, le rituel et la dissimulation. Il s'agit de mettre en relief le role de la femme dans cette culture, notamment dans la societe americaine du XX e siecle. L'etude du crypto-judaisme renvoie a une forme cachee de pratique religieuse qui s'est originee en Espagne avec la conversion forcee des Juifs au catholicisme au XIV e siecle. Utilisan…
