The Roma are the largest ethnic minority in Europe, but few studies have focused on delinquency and victimization among them. This article presents the results of exploratory research on the victimization and delinquency of young Romanian Roma in two cities in the French-speaking region of Switzerland. The study follows a mixed approach that combined 130 hours of participant observation with a self-reported delinquency and victimization survey (N=27). The findings show that the most common instances of victimization involve domestic violence, thefts, and verbal assaults related to begging, while the most common offences committed are brawls and domestic violence, which is frequently bidirectional. There is a correlation between crime and victimization, although the range of victimization suffered is larger than that of offences committed. Victims rarely report incidences of victimization to the authorities, even though their perception of the Swiss police is relatively positive. Despite the small sample and the biases related to this kind of research, this work calls attention to several new elements, such as the role of social media in delinquency, the bidirectionality of intimate partner violence, and the low rate at which victimization is reported to the police. It also suggests relevant subjects for future research.

AbstractBased on the fact that the definition of what one usually defines as a social movement is not consensual in the litterature, the author discusses the question of the perimeter of the field of studies of social movement. By so doing, he addresses the question of the construction of the object. The aim of the paper is by no way to offer one additional definition of what is to be considered as a social movement, but instead to propose an exercise of epistemological vigilance showing that current definitions can generate a certain amount of dead angles. After a brief overview of the state of the art, the paper addresses three questions : Can social movements be defined by their orientation towards change and, if so, what kind of change ? Can social movements be defined by the type of actors concerned and, if so, who are these actors ? Can social movements be defined by their modes of action and, if so, what are these modes of action ?

In 2019, Library and Archives Canada celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of its activities from the time of the adoption of its founding law. This occasion is a good time to reflect on the two concomitant processes that made possible the integration within a single institution of the National Archives and the National Library of Canada. First, the author reflects on the issues and challenges that had to be overcome in the lead-up to this new approach. The rapid expansion of the need for access and for preservation, the diminishing of resources, and the development of IT were challenging the two institutions to find new pathways to development. Integration would progressively appear to be a solution. The unification at the heart of such an administrative entity had become possible and this was a major evolutionary step at the conceptual level. The 2004 act clearly based the mandate of LAC on the preservation and communication of the documentary heritage. The evolution of this concept, which had appeared in the 1960s in the Spanish-speaking world, is examined in both the Canadian and the international context; its significance is that it inserts both archives and publications in their relationship with the collective memory.

The article analyzes the Polish anarcho-feminist idea of protest against gender-based violence during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Examining the oral history interviews with activists and grassroots cultural productions dating from the period of political transformation, such as zines, leaflets, and graphic images, the article focuses on various strategies and concepts of a feminist strike. These different historical sources emphasize multiple inspirations for the protest strategies employed by the analyzed collectives, including the tradition of women’s strikes during the socialist era, youth demonstrations of the 1960s, and Anglo-American feminism. They also enable revisiting the emotional dynamics and meanings of violence that emerged from the anarcho-feminist archival materials and memories of individual activists.
