Abstract

In this paper, we present a cross-national comparison of parades. We compare and contrast two cases of collective action that share roots in an Anglo-European tradition of parading but unfold in political and social contexts that are an ocean apart. Our analysis compares loyalist parades in Ireland and temperance parades in antebellum America. This historical comparative analysis tracks two cases of parading that follow quite different trajectories to a similar point of contention. We show how in similar ways these different cases of parading turned to protest as elements of the ceremonial parade were twisted to confront their respective social and political contexts. We identify a particular concatenation of a form of action and a particularly configured context that makes parading contentious. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Aims To trace the evolution of Alcoholics Anonymous in Ireland from its establishment there in 1946, focusing on the efforts of early members to publicize the fellowship and negotiate a role for themselves in relation to existing religious and healthcare institutions. Methods Archival research, drawing mainly on primary sources in AA archives in New York and Dublin. Results Anticipated tensions between this fellowship, which had its roots in Evangelical Protestantism, and the politically powerful Roman Catholic Church in Ireland were skillfully avoided; initial hostility from the medical profession quickly dissipated; and AA distanced itself from policy debate on the wider topic of alcoholism as disease. Conclusions The relatively smooth introduction of AA to Ireland, the first European country in which it was established, may be attributed to the essentially pragmatic nature of the fellowship and the strategic abilities of its early members.
