(Dis)placed childhoods

Forced migrations and youth welfare policies of the 19th and 20th centuries

La plupart des jeunes placés en institution dans le cadre des politiques de protection de l’enfance ont été en réalité déplacés, non seulement dans le but des les éloigner de chez eux, mais aussi en vertu d’une volonté de les enraciner ailleurs. Ainsi, certaines politiques mettent en œuvre un programme raisonné de déplacement massif de populations juvéniles, souvent au-delà des frontières nationales, selon des visées colonisatrices, du fait de conjonctures politiques spécifiques – guerres et changements de régimes, d’utopies pédagogiques et idéologiques, ou de stratégies institutionnelles particulières. Le numéro 14 de la Revue d'histoire de l'enfance « irrégulière » portera sur les politiques migratoires contraintes concernant les jeunes placés en institution dans l'objectif de comprendre comment ces enfants (dé)placés deviennent des enjeux de pouvoir, des acteurs des relations internationales, des sujets politiques sans droits politiques.

Interrogation in War and Conflict: between Liberty, Security and Justice

After recent revelations of a « UK Abu Ghraib », with allegations of systematic mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners of war at a British military interrogation centre, and the opening of a formal inquiry, the role of military interrogations has once again been under scrutiny. This seems a particularly opportune time to discuss « interrogation » both as a military event and as a cultural phenomenon. Interrogation raises moral questions, especially for states that see themselves as « liberal », but it can also be approached from many other angles. It is often, for example, a « first contact » between actors who come from different cultures and speak different languages. It sets out to elicit information, but the absorption of that information depends on the conceptual scheme of the interrogator. There are important differences between interrogations done by ordinary soldiers, debriefings by professional intelligence operatives, and interviews that generate forensic evidence.

Ten Years After 9/11: What Have We Learned?

The tenth anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001 provides an opportunity to reflect upon and assess what we have learned—and not learned—about communication and conflict. Some commentators have stated that “everything changed after 9/11”. However, it is important to inquire into what changed and what continues to operate within the conceptual frameworks that have existed for decades, even centuries. Papers are invited for this issue of the Global Media Journal -- Canadian Edition that will focus on the role of communication and media in conflicts and conflict resolution since 9/11.
