Assuming the validity of these conceptualizations, the focus shifts to relational dynamics that determine how and if disability is 'felt.' This study explores this relationality in the context of couples parenting a child with disabilities. Intersections of gender and disability associated with self-positioning as 'special parents' include specific affective couple arrangements. This study reports on a qualitative study using in-depth interviews with couples who were interviewed first together and then individually. The results indicate a subjectivation of couples as 'special parents,' which is difficult to reject and includes affective aspects as well as gendered inequalities in care. Disabling affects are delegated to and felt by the female partner, leading to <i>affective inequalities</i> in the partnership. The couple positions the mother as the one who 'suffers,' which is part of a well-known affective repertoire that is implied by ableism to feel. The theoretical implications of these empirical results will be discussed as twofold: first, as an entry point to understanding <i>disability via affection</i>-how to be affected by disability along intersected cultural attributions; and second, as a suggestion to bridge cognitive and behavioral approaches to emotion by elaborating on how <i>disabling affects become felt and enacted in subjectivation and relation</i>.</p>","PeriodicalId":36297,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Sociology","volume":"10 ","pages":"1422337"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11905769/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143626425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, by finding that prosecutions may not only issue European arrest warrants (EAW) but also terminate criminal proceedings with <i>res iudicata</i> consequences obligatory for other Member States initiating EU wide recognition of the termination's <i>ne bis in idem</i> force, the CJEU elevated national prosecutions-depending on domestic legal prerequisites-to the level of national courts. It is argued that by reading these judgments together, the CJEU's jurisprudence might have created frictions between the Member States' criminal justice systems and reshaped terms such as \"judicial authority\" and \"effective judicial protection\" in a way which lowers the level of protection afforded to the individual, be that, to make cooperation in criminal matters more effective between Member States.</p>","PeriodicalId":36297,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Sociology","volume":"10 ","pages":"1546825"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11897486/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143617463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Different understandings, different responses: experiences of racism among highly educated, second generation Black Germans.","authors":"Eunike Piwoni","doi":"10.3389/fsoc.2025.1450981","DOIUrl":"10.3389/fsoc.2025.1450981","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>This article argues that there is a close relationship between individuals' understandings of specific incidents of racism, their ideas of how racism operates, and their (repertoires of) responses to such incidents. The argument is based on a qualitative interview study with 21 highly educated Black Germans with at least one parent born outside Germany, and draws on both the extant literature on responses to experiences of ethnoracial exclusion and research into how people make sense of such experiences. The analysis specifically explores two contrasting types of interviewees: Type 1 felt that they were constantly and potentially always affected by racism and had a broad knowledge of racism. These interviewees recounted many different incidents, many of which they clearly labelled as \"racist.\" Type 1 interviewees reported a variety of response options, with direct confrontation being one of them. In stark contrast, Type 2 respondents tended to normalise the relatively few incidents they mentioned or indicate only feelings of unease. They also believed that they were largely unaffected by racism, had a less deep understanding of racism and tended to respond to incidents of exclusion in ways that allowed the encounter to continue without disruption. Overall, the study calls for greater attention to racialised people's meaning-making in relation to concrete incidents of exclusion and to their knowledge of racism. This requires methodological adaptations to qualitative interview research, which remains the most popular method for exploring experiences of racism. In particular, the study highlights the importance of understanding the ways in which respondents talk about their experiences (categorisation, indication of feelings of unease, and normalisation). It also emphasises the need to go beyond considering only interviewees' responses to direct questions about their experiences of racism and/or discrimination and/or incidents clearly categorised by interviewees as, for example, \"racist.\" Moreover, reconstructing interviewees' knowledge about racism offers a path towards understanding not only their sense-making but also their repertoires of responses. This, in turn, provides insight into why individuals of comparable class position and educational background respond to racism in different ways.</p>","PeriodicalId":36297,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Sociology","volume":"10 ","pages":"1450981"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11893846/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143606695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Veterans see the conversations with MCs as an opportunity to exchange thoughts and perspectives concerning these ongoing moral struggles, a process that we conceptualize as 'moral learning'. Over time, we found 5 types of change in veterans' experience of moral injury.

It suggests that supporting veterans in dealing with questions about the good life and about the conduct of the military may be just as or even more important as reflecting on morally injurious events. Moreover, the study highlights the importance of engaging with seemingly mundane, everyday issues when addressing the moral dimensions of veterans' struggles. This counters the focus on grand concepts like \"forgiveness,\" \"acceptance,\" \"reconciliation,\" \"restitution\" and \"vindication\" which are usually emphasized in the literature about chaplaincy in the context of moral injury.
