Ethnographic Anxiety and Its ‘Telling’ Consequences
Murphy Out of Place: Ethnographic Anxiety and its ‘Telling’ Consequences Liam D. Murphy ABSTRACT: In Belfast, Northern Ireland, as elsewhere, myriad problems of epistemology and research design confront ethnographers entering the field for the first time. While these often remain a permanently taxing wellspring of frustration and anxiety, their apparent resolution through experience can occasionally lull researchers into a false sense of security in the context of social interaction with field respondents. By explor- ing an instance in which the author neglected to apply his understanding of the im- portant Northern Ireland phenomenon of ‘telling’, the article shows how method and epistemology should always be borne in mind during fieldwork situations—even those implicitly discounted a priori as nonethnographic. While such relaxation of self- awareness may precipitate various blunders and ethnographic faux-pas, it also opens up spaces of critical inquiry into the collaborative constitution of selves and others in field situations, and refocuses the ethnographer’s awareness of his positioning as an outsider in webs of social activity. KEYWORDS: fieldwork, reflexivity, telling, religion, Belfast, Northern Ireland, method, ethnography Anthropology is an academic discipline whose this socially complex city proved especially practitioners pride themselves on intimate daunting as I began my doctoral fieldwork knowledge of their surroundings, but this is al- among charismatic and evangelical Christians. ways more easily declared than accomplished— Preoccupied with the most immediate con- regardless of where one chooses to conduct cerns of life, epistemology and the issue of self- fieldwork.

Doing Policing
DOING POLICING OFFICER 1 My first station was Ballymena. Ballymena in the 1960s was a thriving town, industrious with a thriving farming community around it. ‘The Troubles’ of the 1950s and early 60s, which was mainly confined to a Border Campaign, had ended. So, it was a very nice time in Ballymena with Showbands and Ballrooms for a young man to enjoy. I really enjoyed that, and I went to do duty in Portrush, for two summer seasons to supplement the local police down there; Portrush in those days was the holiday Mecca of the country. I met William Martin, the Sergeant there, who was the author of the ‘Black Manual’ or ‘Code’ (RUC Code of Conduct) which we had to study. He had lots of legal books around his office, when he found out I had passed the Sergeants Exam he brought me in and treated me as an’ Assistant Sergeant’. He actually allowed me to stand in for him one or two days when he was off, much to the chagrin of the older men who had been there a lifetime. The community got on well with us they wanted to help us and the holiday visitors wanted their photograph taken with us. I remember one occasion I was on mobile patrol in a 2 door Ford Anglia car, to get into the back you had to pull forward the front seat. I got a call to deal with a ‘Simple Drunk’ causing annoyance on the Main Street, I went round, and there he was showing all the signs of a drunk man but doing no real harm. -

Reconsidering the Troubles: an Examination of Paramilitary and State Violence in Northern Ireland
Reconsidering the Troubles: An examination of paramilitary and state violence in Northern Ireland Erica Donaghy 2017 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of International and Global Studies (Honours) in History, University of Sydney. 1 Abstract In the bitter sectarian conflict of the Northern Ireland Troubles, which spanned the years 1966- 1998, culpability has usually been firmly placed in the actions of the Irish Republican Army, a group seeking reunification with the Republic of Ireland. This thesis argues that the roles of Protestant loyalist paramilitaries and state forces such as the British Army and Royal Ulster Constabulary were equally as important. That this importance is not demonstrated in dominant literature remains to be to the detriment of efforts towards reconciliation and the acceptance of shared responsibility, and perpetuates the sectarian divide between Protestant and Catholic communities. 2 Contents Introduction 4 Chapter One: Republicanism and the IRA 11 Chapter Two: Unionism, loyalism and pro-state violence 31 Chapter Three: State Security Forces: the RUC and the British Army 54 Conclusion 71 Bibliography 75 3 Introduction Throughout the Northern Ireland Troubles, and especially in recent historical scholarship on the events of the conflict, primary culpability and the majority of focus has been given to the actions of republican groups and in particular the Irish Republican Army (in Gaelic Óglaigh na hÉireann). In popular memory and collective understanding outside of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland this group exists as a singular entity, responsible for some of Western Europe’s most bloody, destructive and expensive acts of sectarian terrorism. -

Bloody Sunday and the Rule of Law in Northern Ireland
Published on Reviews in History (https://reviews.history.ac.uk) Bloody Sunday and the Rule of Law in Northern Ireland Review Number: 149 Publish date: Wednesday, 1 November, 2000 Author: Dermot Walsh Date of Publication: 2000 Publisher: Macmillan Place of Publication: London Reviewer: Brian Griffin Over the past three decades the North of Ireland has been plagued by injustice. This has taken a variety of forms, ranging from sectarian intimidation or discrimination in the workplace to intimidation of entire communities, the systematic denial of human rights and murder, both mass murder and the seemingly less- newsworthy killing of individual civilians and members of the security forces. The incidence of these individual killings has been so frequent that few stand out when one casts one's mind over the catalogue of horrors, unless one is personally acquainted with the victims. Instead, it is the mass killings that linger in the memory, serving as grim milestones in the history of the Troubles. The Abercorn bombing, Bloody Friday, Claudy, the Shankill Butchers' killings, La Mon, Warrenpoint, Ballykelly, Loughgall, Enniskillen, Ballygawley, Loughinisland, Greysteel, Omagh - these are just a representative sample from the North of Ireland. Britain and the 26 Counties have, of course, also suffered scenes of carnage during the same period. One of the earliest instances of multiple killing in the Troubles was the Bloody Sunday massacre of 30 January 1972, in which British soldiers killed thirteen civilians in Derry - a fourteenth victim died of his wounds later. Bloody Sunday is particularly noteworthy in the North's catalogue of injustice, as one can argue that the killings and the controversial tribunal of inquiry into the killings - the Widgery tribunal, which exonerated the actions of the British troops involved in the shootings and suggested that most of the victims were either gunmen or bombers - convinced Nationalists that justice could not be obtained from the North's political and judicial system. -
