good tongues bad tongues Denunciation rumour and revenge in the french basque country 1943 1945
History and Anthropology, 2006Co-Authors: Sandra OttAbstract:This article provides the first ethnographic study of Denunciation and rumor during the Gernam Occupation and its aftermath. In one French Basque village, “a good tongues” accused a female shopkeeper of adultery, multiple Denunciations and economic collaboration with the enemy. She, in turn, played wtth “public rumour”, a product of human communication and imagination that citizens constantly reshaped as they evaluated and responded to accusations of wrongdoing. By making public, oral Denunciations to the Germans, the shopkeeper competed with a female arch rival in the Resistance. Basques had their own traditional means of sanctioning moral treachery in their community. I show how one particular practice, La Jonchee, provided an anonymous, non‐violent alternative to female head‐shaving, carried out by men who wished to punish women for sexual collaboration.

Good Tongues, Bad Tongues: Denunciation, Rumour and Revenge in the French Basque Country, 1943–1945

Reform by subtraction: The path of Denunciation of international drug treaties and reaccession with reservations
The International journal on drug policy, 2012Co-Authors: Robin RoomAbstract:Abstract Almost all countries are parties to the international drug conventions of 1961, 1971 and 1988. These strongly bind parties with respect to their domestic regulation of controlled substances, including requirements that possession, growing or use be a criminal offense and that any regulated market in the substances be limited to use only for medical or scientific purposes. Even where countries have argued they have "wiggle room", reform within the bounds of the conventions has often resulted in "net-widening" which nullifies the intent of the reform. Among the options for effective reform, probably the most immediately viable is the route of Denunciation and reaccession with reservations – the route which Bolivia has now taken in order to legalise a regulated domestic market in coca leaves for chewing. The paper considers the existing record of reservations (by more than 30 parties to each of the conventions). Also discussed are the options for response to the reservations by other parties, which vary between the treaties, and how pursuing the option of Denunciation and reaccession with reservation might potentially play out.

Denunciation and Social Control
American Sociological Review, 2017Co-Authors: Patrick BergemannAbstract:It has long been observed that centralized social control requires some level of cooperation from the populace. Without such assistance, control agents are unable to acquire the local knowledge necessary to locate and prosecute deviants. Yet why citizens cooperate with authorities, especially in the most repressive regimes, remains a puzzle. This article develops two models of such cooperation: in the first, authorities actively use incentives to elicit Denunciations from the populace, through either coercion or the promise of rewards. In the second, authorities passively gain access to local negative networks, as individuals denounce to harm others whom they dislike and to gain relative to them. Using internal variation in the early years of the Spanish Inquisition (1486 to 1502) and Romanov Russia (1613 to 1649), I demonstrate the differing effects of each model on patterns of Denunciations. Paradoxically, social control is most effective when authorities provide individuals maximum freedom to direct it...

Denunciation and the construction of norms in group conflict examples from an al qaeda supporting group
British Journal of Social Psychology, 2014Co-Authors: W. M. L. FinlayAbstract:In situations of violent group conflict, group members often argue about how to deal with the outgroup. While some argue for aggression, force, and separation, others argue for negotiation and cooperation. Each side attempts to persuade the group that their own position is normative and is most in line with the interests and essence of the group. These arguments often involve Denunciations of opponents as disloyal or deviant. In such situations, definitions of group identities and norms, and what counts as loyalty and deviance, are therefore disputed. This article analyses how a UK-based Al-Qaeda-supporting organization denounces ‘moderate’ Muslims in the United Kingdom who engage with secular institutions and who ally themselves with non-Muslims in political disputes. Drawing on theological, historical, and political arguments, a prescriptive norm is constructed whereby the correct behaviour of Muslims in the West is to avoid participation in secular political systems and to avoid political cooperation with non-Muslims. Muslims who are seen as breaking these norms are denounced and denigrated in a variety of ways by assigning them a range of deviant identity positions. Denunciations involve explanatory accounts which construct opponents as unworthy representatives of the group based on their deviation from Islam, or from ignorance, cowardice, mental weakness, or self-interest. This article illustrates that the practice of Denunciation is an important aspect of the organization of group conflict. Finally, it argues that it is dangerous for social psychologists to treat group norms and prototypes as consensual.

Visciano vs. Cauvet de Blanchonval (1940–1971)
2013Co-Authors: Patrice ArnaudAbstract:Historian Laurent Joly calls into question preconceptions about Denunciations, notably the modest social origins of the denouncers, as well as the alleged proclivity of women towards Denunciation. He also notes that no social milieu was immune to Denunciation. The “Affair” which opposed Victorine Visciano and Catherine Cauvet de Blanchonval confirms the complexity of attitudes, the infinite nuances of “gray areas” and the fact that some individuals denounced people to the authorities even as they themselves were victims of repression, and, in some cases, even members of the resistance. Even as we look to the most frequent psychological motivations for Denunciation—jealousy, the lure of financial gain and revenge, this sordid story is exceptional in more than one way, not only because of the personalities involved, but also because of its long duration. It testifies above all to the important repercussions of Denunciations during the Second World War and the propensity of all the governmental administrations of the day involved in surveillance to follow through on the most fantastical rumors.
