Abstract:

The history of Samoan migration to New Zealand, a demographic profile of the migrants, and the future of such migration are discussed. Migration became a serious phenomenon after independence in 1962, with primarily young, unskilled workers moving to take up jobs in the agricultural and service sectors. Remaining essentially unchanged since 1962, New Zealand's immigration policy gives preferential treatment to Western Samoans and recognizes their valuable labor contribution. The future of migration to New Zealand is discussed in the context of the costs and benefits to Western Samoa. Contrary to some observers, the author argues that emigration has been beneficial rather than deleterious to Western Samoa's development and predicts the continuation of Samoan migration to New Zealand, Australia, United States and other countries, with increased emphasis on family reunion.

Abstract:

Objective: To describe an Indigenous Samoan psychosocial intervention developed to address the mental health needs of affected communities in Samoa following a tsunami. Method: A partnership was established between Samoan therapists, Samoan Catholic pastoral workers and non-Samoan mental health clinicians, informed by Samoan concepts of self and wellbeing. The format developed for visits to significantly affected households was based on a Samoan cultural practice known as asiasiga and was carried out by pastoral workers, with daily group supervision and access to mental health professionals. Results: Household visits were offered to affected families in villages throughout southern and eastern Upolu and the island of Manono. There was a high degree of acceptance of the programme by Pulenu’u (village governance leaders) and family leaders and members. Conclusions: Mental health responses to the needs of Indigenous Pacific communities following a disaster need to be embedded in the values of those communities. The Samoan practice of asiasiga contributed to the high degree of acceptability of this programme. Partnerships with churches, schools and other local organisations are likely to enhance acceptability and participation. More research is required on Indigenous Pacific post-disaster mental health programmes.

Abstract:

Background: Samoans experience among the worst five-year breast cancer survival rates in the U.S., largely due to late stage diagnosis. There is great potential for screening interventions to reduce cancer mortality among Samoans. This paper examines the effectiveness of a culturally and linguistically tailored breast cancer education workshop for Samoan and other Pacific Islander women in Southern California. Methods: Educational workshops were conducted in churches, homes, and the Samoan National Nurses Association office to Pacific Islander women. Effectiveness was assessed using pre- and post-tests. Selfadministered questionnaires queried participants about demographics, access, personal or family breast cancer history, screening knowledge and behaviors, and plans to obtain screening (n=495). Results: Participants were predominantly Samoan, with 57% reporting they were ≥40 years of age. At pre-test, half of the participants did not know how to perform Breast Self Examination (BSE), 40% never had a Clinical Breast Examination (CBE), and 30% never had a mammogram. Less than 40% reported having a mammogram in the past two years. At post-test, 98% reported increased knowledge. Older women were more likely to report plans for screening at post-test. Conclusions: Health educators in Samoan and other Pacific Islander communities must recognize and appropriately address screening barriers such as cultural beliefs and lack of knowledge, and should consider working with important institutions such as the church.

Abstract:

In the U.S. territory of American Samoa, gridiron football has emerged as an important driver of a stock-flow relationship in which the stock of overseas-resident migrant athletic laborers sustains the flow of remittances to their extended family in their homeland. Within this article, I consider the significance of gridiron football within American Samoa’s MIRAB ( Migration, Remittances, Aid and Bureaucracy) economy, a model of Pacific Island microeconomies characterized by migration, remittances, foreign aid, and public bureaucracy. Based on a series of personal interviews with high school football players between the ages of 15 and 18 years on the Eastern football team squad, as well as more than a dozen coaches, parents, educator, and directors associated with the production of American Samoan High School football ( n = 60), I critically examine the social, cultural, and economic determinants involved in the collective decision-making process of footballers to emigrate to the U.S. mainland. I find that family units in the American Samoa operate as, to rephrase Bertram and Watters, transnational corporations of football kin, working collectively to develop and train skilled football laborers toward the accumulation of various forms of economic and social remittances for the benefit of the individual and extended family unit. More broadly, gridiron football in American Samoa produces a stock-flow relationship whereby a stock of Samoan gridiron footballers migrates to U.S. colleges and universities to support the flow of remittances and aid that sustains the island’s MIRAB economy.

Abstract:

• Summary: This study uses an integrative framework that includes various theories on delinquency to explain the relative contribution of factors on delinquency among Samoan adolescents and their overrepresentation in the Juvenile Justice System. Some 275 Samoan adolescents were recruited for the study from the states of Hawaii and Washington. Structural equation modeling was employed for the analysis. • Findings: Two models were analyzed. One model tested all the factors regardless of economic status. The full model fits the data well. The other model utilized economic conditions as a moderating factor (multigroup model). The multigroup invariance shows that the measurement model appears to fit better with the higher income group rather than the lower income group. The results suggest that while acculturative stress has a direct impact on delinquency, family cohesion can be a deterrent to high acculturative stress on delinquency particularly for the higher income group. The major hypothesis was confirmed by the data to show that there was a predictive relationship between involvement with antisocial peers and delinquency, and prosocial peers and no delinquency. However, it varied by income group. The higher income group showed a stronger predictive relationship of the involvement with prosocial peers and low delinquency. • Applications: Given the results, it is imperative for social workers to understand the impact of acculturation on family members and their family functioning. A better understanding of culture and how it operates within a family as well as an understanding of cultural identity is an important part of service to Samoan families.

Abstract:

AIM: To explore influences on adherence to taking long-term medications among Samoan patients in an Auckland general practice. METHODS: Twenty Samoan participants from an Auckland general practice were identified and interviewed about their views on adherence or non-adherence to taking blood pressure–lowering medications. One-to-one semi-structured interviews using open-ended questions were undertaken in Samoan and English, recorded, transcribed and translated into English. Transcriptions were examined by two researchers to identify themes. FINDINGS: Patients with ‘high’ and ‘lower’ rates of adherence to taking usual medication were identified using medication possession ratio cut-offs from medical records of timely prescribing. Ten participants with ‘high’ and 10 with ‘lower’ rates of adherence were interviewed, including 11 women and nine men. Themes identified for those with lower adherence included ‘lack of transport’, ‘family commitments’, ‘forgetfulness’, ‘church activities’, ‘feeling well’ and ‘priorities’. Themes identified for those with high rates of adherence included ‘prioritising health’, ‘previous event’, ‘time management’, ‘supportive family members’ and ‘relationship with GP (language and trust)’. A theme common to both was ‘coping with the stress of multiple comorbidities’. CONCLUSION: Reasons for adherence and non-adherence to taking blood pressure–lowering medications among the Samoan patients interviewed were multifactorial and encompass personal, social, cultural and environmental factors. Interdisciplinary teams to support treatment decisions (including Pacific health professionals or community health workers), systematic identification of those with low rates of adherence, phone or text follow-up, use of church or family networks, provision of transport where needed and better tools and resources may help address this problem.

Full text

Abstract:

Samoan language nests have become well established in New Zealand due to the commitment, support and contribution of the Samoan community, the church, Samoan families, parents and most importantly the efforts of mothers. Their advent has created new settings within which or through which women's roles may become redefined. This thesis explores the questions of how relationships between Samoan language nests and family systems have developed, and how these relationships may have affected the development of roles within Samoan families, especially women's roles. To obtain answers to these questions three theoretical frameworks were utilised. Bronfenbrenner's (1979) ecological model provided concepts for understanding the developmental changes occurring in the transitional relationships between families and language nests. The second theoretical perspective employed was Vygotsky's (1978) sociocultural framework to analyse the cultural processes developing between Samoan families and language nests. The final framework was provided by Goodnow and Collins's (1990) concept of 'parents ideas'. Their argument is that parents' ideas and style of parenting has been influenced by their own ontogenic development, and by society's expectations. The answers to the research questions were obtained by interviewing 21 Samoan language nest supervisors in the Auckland area and 100 caregivers or parents. Samoan language nests influenced parents, mothers and their families in their awareness and affirmation of Samoan language and culture, helping with parenting skills, provided support groups and served as an opportunity to gain knowledge and skills about preschool operation and educational processes. Language nests reinforced women's maternal roles, it changed the way they related to their children and the women's support groups encouraged women to assert their rights as women. The level of commitment by women is illustrated in the ways mothers and parents contributed at the language nests. Overall 92 percent of the mothers and parents helped at the nests. The significant contribution of women in Samoan language nests serve to affirm her as a 'poutu', the 'superwoman', the strength of her family, of the church and her community.

Abstract:

Language maintenance is becoming a worldwide issue; particularly the decline of minority languages including Pasifika (Pacific) languages. One of the Pasifika languages known to be declining is the Samoan language. The purpose of the study was to examine ways to maintain the Samoan language in New Zealand. This study used the concept of fono a le nu'u (village fono in Samoa) to examine strategies and practices associated with it as it is reconfigured in the New Zealand context in the family fono and church fono. Data were gathered from two churches and their congregations through questionnaires, interviews and observations. The questionnaire responses were analysed according to the participants' responses and their description of fono properties. The interview responses were analysed using the same process and properties of fono as vehicles for language socialisation. The observations were analysed based on the interactions in Sunday schools and in homes. This included direct teaching and recitation. The results from the questionnaires show that participants' views on the understanding of fono are based on three core properties. The first core property is sharing views in order to come to consensus over the decision making. The next core property is building unity within the fono. This occurs when the community is united in order to make effective decisions. The third core property is being responsible by giving and receiving guidance. This is to offer advice and to guide people on using the language and processes of performing a task. The findings from the interviews showed that the respondents had built on the core properties by describing these properties (in the questionnaires) as vehicles for language socialisation. For example, the core property of sharing of views, when done openly and interactively, effectively encouraged young people to use their language. In addition, it provided advice on how they should achieve their educational goals. The observations in the Sunday schools and in the homes illustrated that there were two pedagogical forms which are related to language socialisation. These were direct teaching and modelling, and recitation of tauloto. The direct teaching occurred when students are asked to perform the tasks, including the learning of their tauloto. In summary, the core properties of fono revealed the true nature of what fono is in its real sense and in relation to the cultural setting. In addition, the importance of these core properties as vehicles for language socialisation, it is argued, can enhance language learning of young people in particular, and for Samoans in general. They should be utilised in order to maintain their language.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Puberteten kan tyckas svår för en tonåring. Än tuffare kan det bli för tonåringen samt dennes familjemedlemmar vid en samtidig diagnostisering av cancer. Det som behöver undersökas mer ingående är vilka känslor som kan uppkomma hos en tonåring och dennes familj i samband med en cancerdiagnos. Syfte: Att undersöka vilka känslor som kan uppkomma hos en tonåring och dennes familj i samband med en cancerdiagnos. Metod: En beskrivande litteraturstudie som metod användes. Elva kvalitativa studier hämtade från CINAHL, PyscInfo samt PubMed har nyttjats och resultatet i dessa som svarat till denna studies syfte har sammanställts. Joyce Travelbees omvårnadsteori användes. Resultat: Det framkom att den såväl drabbade tonåringen och dennes familjemedlemmar i de flesta fallen drabbas av chock vid beskedet om en cancerdiagnos. Känslor skiljer sig mellan olika individer men ilska, rädsla och oro är vanligt förekommande. Tankar kring döden, hur kroppen eventuellt kommer förändras och känslor av orättvisa var vanligt förekommande hos tonåringarna. Vårdpersonalen bör vara stöttande och bemötandet bör genomsyras av sympati likväl som empati. Samtalen till alla inblandade bör vara individanpassad, åldersanpassad och informativ. Slutsats: När vårdpersonal bemöter en inte sällan chockad tonåring samt dennes familj där cancer nyligen diagnostiserats bör samtalen individanpassas. Tillsammans med chocken kan inblandade parter bland annat känna rädsla, sorg och osäkerhet inför framtiden. Eftersom den pubertala fasen ofta samtidigt föreligger hos tonåringen kan även cancerdiagnosen bidra till en komplex självbild. Det krävs dock mer forskning inom ämnet för att tydligare klarlägga det exakta psykosociala måendet i diagnosskedet.
Background: Puberty may be a difficult time for adolescents. Being diagnosed with cancer at that time can be hard for both the adolescent and its family. What need to be examined more detailed are which emotions that can arise in an adolescent and its family in conjunction with a cancer diagnosis. Aim: To examine which emotions can arise in an adolescent and its family members in connection with a cancer diagnosis. Method: A descriptive literature study as a method was used. Eleven qualitative studies from CINAHL, PsycInfo and PubMed was received and the results that answered to the purpose of this study got complied. Joyce Travelbees nursing theory was used. Results: The cancer diagnosis affected both the adolescent and the family members, which often brought reactions of shock. Feelings like anger, fear and worry were some that frequently occurred. Thoughts surrounding death, the eventual body change often appeared as well as feelings of injustice. It’s important that the actions from health professionals are supporting and permeated by sympathy along with empathy. Every conversation with the involved should be individualized, age adopted and informative. Conclusion: When healthcare professionals respond to a shocked adolescent and family, the conversation should be personalized. Along with the shock, the parties involved can among other things feel fear, sadness and uncertainty about the future. Simultaneously with the puberty, the cancer diagnosis can contribute to a complex self-image. Further Research on the subject is required to clarify the exact psychosocial approach in the diagnosis stage.

Abstract:

During adolescence the teenager tries to become an independent individual, something that for many individuals can be experienced as"a hard time". In early childhood the individual was closely connected to the parents, but during adolescence friends and new contacts become more important. Studies in developmental psychology have most often adopted a parent-perspective, which is why a child-perspective is required. The aim of this study is therefore to measure the teenager's relationship with parents and friends and to look for possible correlations between these. As a means of measuring quality in the relationships, the IPPA, the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment, was used. The results show that a correlation between the relationship with parents and relationship with friends exists. A good relationship with parents also means a good relationship with friends. The study also shows a sex-difference in attachment. Girls report a higher quality in their relationships with both parents and friends.

Abstract:

Studiens syfte är att undersöka förhållandet mellan arbete och familj/fritid samt att undersöka om faktorerna kön, livsfas, ledningsposition, arbetskrav och arbetskontroll påverkar förhållandet mellan arbete och familj/fritid. Närmare bestämt om anställda upplever konflikter mellan arbete och familj/fritid eller en balans samt om det finns något samband mellan ovanstående faktorer och konflikter. Studien är av en kvantitativ ansats som genomförts genom webbenkät som mätinstrument. Populationen är anställda på ett världsledande stålföretag i Norra Värmland med cirka 800 anställda. I denna studie har vi använt oss utav ett strategiskt urval där vi har delat upp populationen i två strata och dessa är kollektivanställda och tjänstemän. Syftet med denna urvalsmetod är att täcka in olika arbetsvillkor som olika befattningar kännetecknas utav. Studien bygger på 186 stycken deltagande varav majoriteten av dessa (97,8 procent) upplever en låg grad av konflikter mellan arbete och familj/fritid. I studien har vi tagit del utav forskning inom området för work-life balance som bland annat visar att höga arbetskrav påverkar förhållandet mellan arbete och familj/fritid negativt samtidigt som forskning visar att flexibilitet är positivt förknippat till förhållandet mellan arbete och familj/fritid. Vi har även tagit del utav studier inom området som rör bland annat tillgänglighet, flexibilitet och Karaseks krav- och kontrollmodell (1979). I denna studie framgår det att arbetskrav är den enda faktorn i studien som visar ett signifikant samband med konflikter mellan arbete och familj/fritid. Trots att tidigare studier visar att flexibilitet har ett positivt samband med hörhållandet mellan arbete och familj/fritid så visar denna studie att det inte finns något signifikant samband mellan dessa faktorer.

Abstract:

Distriktssköterskors arbete på barnavårdscentralen (BVC) har blivit mer komplext. Nu ska hela familjen integreras och varje familj har olika behov som distriktssköterskorna ska försöka tillmötesgå. Samtalet blir svårt när det inte finns några riktlinjer, eller några pedagogiska verktyg som distriktssköterskor kan använda sig av vid svåra samtal. Varje distriktssköterska har sina egna upplevelser av vad som anses vara svårt att samtala om och varför. Därför kom idén att beskriva distriktssköterskors upplevelser av svåra samtal med familjen på BVC. För att kunna besvara syftet användes kvalitativ intervjustudie. Resultatet visar att distriktssköterskorna upplever flera situationer som svåra. Exempelvis vid samtal om övervikt, orosanmälan, våld i nära relation och avvikande utveckling. Distriktssköterskorna belyser att det är betydelsefullt att förbereda ett svårt samtal, eftersom det kan uppstå hinder i mötet som påverkar samtalets utveckling negativt. De beskriver även att de blir berörda utav det svåra samtalet och behöver stöttning från kollegor och andra professioner. I resultatdiskussionen diskuteras att samtalsmetodik, kollegial stöttning, ändring av sekretesslagen och att diskussion av laddade ord kan ha betydelse i mötet med familjen.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Skolfrånvaro är ett komplext område och som kan betraktas som ett folkhälsoproblem då det är en riskfaktor för framtida utanförskap. En ofullständig skolgång försvårar ett aktivt deltagande i arbets- och samhällsliv vilket ökar risken för framtida ohälsa. Riskfaktorer för hög skolfrånvaro finns på individ-, familj-, skol- och samhällsnivå. Dessa riskfaktorer interagerar med varandra och har en kumulativ effekt. Goda relationer inom och mellan dessa nivåer beskrivs som skyddsfaktorer för hög skolfrånvaro.Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hypotesen om att det fanns en skillnad mellan gruppen med skolfrånvaro och gruppen utan skolfrånvaro avseende familjestruktur, sociala relationer och delaktighet hos elever i Värmland.Metod: Metoden var en kvantitativ empirisk studie av elevdata i Elevhälsodatabasen ELSA. Sambandsanalyser mellan utfallsvariabeln skolfrånvaro och sociodemografi, sociala relationer och delaktighet analyserades med sambandstestet Chi2, Pearsons r på 95% nivån.Resultat: Resultaten visade att det fanns skillnader beträffande familjestruktur mellan elevgruppen med skolfrånvaro och gruppen utan skolfrånvaro. Elever med skolfrånvaro bor i betydligt mindre utsträckning i en sammanhållen familj med båda föräldrarna. Resultaten visade också på samband mellan sociala relationer och skolfrånvaro. Elever med skolfrånvaro trivdes i mindre omfattning bra hemma och hade färre vuxna att prata med jämfört med elever utan skolfrånvaro. De upplevde också lägre grad av trygghet, trivsel och vänligt bemötande i skolan och hade i större utsträckning blivit rädda då någon gjort dem illa. Äldre elever med skolfrånvaro upplevde mindre delaktighet och att bli lyssnad till i skolan än elever utan skolfrånvaro.Konklusion: I skolan behövs en ökad förståelse för att elever med hög skolfrånvaro är ”elever i svårigheter” istället för ”elever med svårigheter” där elevhälsans kompetens inom det psykosociala området kan användas på individ-, grupp- och organisationsnivå.
Background: School absence is a complex issue that can be considered as a public health problem as it is a risk factor for future exclusion. An incomplete schooling makes it harder for an active participation in working and social life, which in turn increases the risk of ill health. There are risk factors for high school absenteeism at the individual-, family-, school- and community level. These risk factors interact with each other and have a cumulative effect. Good relationships within and between these levels are protective factors for high school absenteeism.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that there was a difference between the group with school absenteeism and the group without school absenteeism in family structure, social relationships and participation among students in VärmlandMethod: The method was a quantitative empirical study of student-data in the student health database ELSA. Correlation analyzes between the school absenteeism and sociodemographics, social relationships and involvement were analyzed with a Chi2 test , Pearson's r on the 95 % level .Results : The results showed that there were differences in family structure between the group of students with school absenteeism compared to the group without school absenteeism. Students with school absenteeism lived to a significantly less extent in a cohesive family with both parents. The results also showed a correlation between social relationships and school absences. Students with school absenteeism felt less comfortable at home and had fewer adults to talk to compared to students without school absenteeism. They also experienced lower levels of security, comfort and friendly treatment in the school and had to a higher frequency become afraid when someone treated them badly. Older students with school absenteeism did not feel participation or that they were listened to in school at the same rate as students without school absenteeism.Conclusion: The school needs a better understanding that students with high absenteeism is "students in difficulty " and not "students with difficulties " where student health service competence in the psychosocial field may be used at individual, group and organizational levels.

Abstract:

In addition to all our soldiers and officers who do military services abroad there are a lot of people who are affected by their choice to contribute, namely their next of kin. This report deals only with those who are next of kin to those who perform service abroad. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relatives' need for emotional and social support as well as practical and economical support. The main question is What kind of practical/economical and emotional/social support do close relatives require when a relative does military service abroad? The method used in this paper is a qualitative research interview. Interviews have been made with four women, who are next of kin to soldiers and officers who are or have been abroad for military services during the last two years. The result of this study is that all respondents have a need for emotional / social support linked to their partner’s deployment abroad; however, people require different types of support. Regarding practical / financial support the informants' needs differ, this is due to their different living situations.

Abstract:

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur familjerättsekreterarna upplever barns situation i samband med deras uppdrag med vårdnads-, boende- och umgängesärenden. Frågeställningarna var; Hur definierar familjerättssekreterarna sitt uppdrag vid vårdnads-, boende- och umgängesärenden vid föräldrars separation? Vilka instrument/verktyg använder familjerättssekreterarna för att ta reda på barns situation i samband med vårdnads-, boende- och umgängesärenden vid föräldrars separation? Hur upplever familjerättssekreterarna att barns fysiska och psykiska hälsa samt relation till föräldrarna påverkas i samband med föräldrarnas separation? Studien utfördes med en kvalitativ forskningsmetod där undersökningen innefattade åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer med familjerättssekreterare. I vår studie har vi utgått från systemteorin och gräsrotsbyråkratin. Detta för att familjerättssekreterarna har myndighetsutövning och att de vid utredningsärenden tittar på hur familjemedlemmarna samspelar med varandra. Resultatet tolkades utifrån den fenomenologiska ansatsen som visade att det fanns väsentliga skillnader i hur familjerättssekreterare tolkade vad som ingick i deras uppdrag. Familjerättssekreterarnas främsta instrument vid ärendehanteringar visade sig vara samtal. Ett annat viktigt resultat var att alla familjerättssekreterare ansåg att barns hälsa påverkades av sina föräldrars separation samt att deras relation till föräldrarna också påverkades både negativt och positivt, på kort och långt sikt.
The purpose of this study was to examine how family law secretaries experience the situations of the children in accordance with their assignments in the custody, residence and contact cases. These questions were asked: What instruments/tools are used to determine the children’s situation in the custody, residence and contact cases during the parental separation? How do family law secretaries define their role in custody, residence and contact cases at the parents’ separation? This study was conducted by using a qualitative research method which included eight semi-structured interviews with family law secretaries. As a basis for our study we have used the systems theory and street-level bureaucracy. This is because the family law secretaries have authority and in the case investigations they observe how the family members interact with each other. The results were interpreted by the phenomenological approach, which showed that there were significant differences in how family law secretaries interpreted what was included in their assignment. The family law secretaries’ foremost instrument during case handling was shown to be conversation. Another important result was that all family law secretaries felt that the childrens health was affected by their parents’ separation and that the childrens relationship to their parents was also affected, both negatively and positively in the short and long term.

Abstract:

This chapter explores the family history of Ta’isi, the course of his marriage, the birth of his six children to Rosabel and the bringing into his family unit of his first born daughter, Lucy. It tracks the economic rise of Ta’isi as a businessman in the Sāmoan Islands and the prominent role he took to as an interlocutor with German administrators about the running of German Samoa. It then tracks the seismic effects of World War One and its aftermath on Sāmoa. World War One brought an abrupt end to German rule that was replaced by a New Zealand military occupation in 1914. The effects of the Great War were both enormously beneficial to Ta’isi as a businessman, but it also brought the devastating aftermath of the 1918 influenza epidemic that killed over 20% of Samoa’s population, including Ta’isi’s mother, sister, brother, sister-in-law and his beloved only son. This chapter traces these events and their effects on Ta’isi, showing how they led him into an activist role within Sāmoa.

Abstract:

Attempts to manifest one’s suffering visually can turn aggressive if the people who have supposedly caused one’s pain refuse to see the results. Metaphors that suggest how pain looks can convey the cutting, wounding aspects of emotional anguish. Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Notes from the Underground associates spite and vengefulness with darkness and dirt and shows how painful encounters can be when a hidden creature reveals himself to others. Franz Kafka’s representation of Gregor Samsa as a monstrous vermin in The Metamorphosis forces Gregor’s family to see the emotions they have aroused by exploiting him. Michael Haneke’s 2005 film Caché depicts a marginalized family determined to make a privileged man see how he has benefited from their deprivation. With a violent literal and metaphoric “cut,” the poor man ensures that the rich one will never stop witnessing the pain he has caused. Manifested visually, emotional pain can show itself through violent transformations of bodies.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the ways in which the Syrian War documentary has depicted and reflected upon the figure of the activist mother, and the competing concepts of personal and political transgression that cluster around her as she occupies fraught zones of conflict and its witnessing, mortal danger and forced migration. Through two case study films, A Syrian Love Story (Sean McAllister, UK, 2015), a British filmmaker’s account of the family of political prisoner Raghda Hasan as they negotiate living under Bashar al-Assad’s regime and eventually flee it; and For Sama (Waad al-Kateab and Edward Watts, UK/Syria, 2019), a first person account of a Syrian activist journalist, Waad, who gives birth to and raises her child during the siege of Aleppo, the chapter explores the ethical and representational questions raised in this centring of the activist mother and her potential status as a transgressor of political and social norms. It also situates these activist mother films in the wider array of anti-regime Syrian War documentaries, where the plight of parents and children are foregrounded as part of the call to action to North American and European audiences.
