  • Os Impactos Sociais da Pandemia: o Segundo Confinamento
    Publication . Gouveia, Rita; Serra-Silva, Sofia; Almeida, Ana Nunes de; Wall, Karin; Vieira, Maria Manuel; Carvalho, Diana; Ribeiro Santos, Ana Sofia
    Este relatório centra-se nos principais resultados do inquérito online “Os impactos sociais da pandemia - o segundo confinamento”, coordenado por uma equipa de investigadoras do Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa (ICS-ULisboa), que decorreu entre os dias 11 a 25 de Fevereiro de 2021, ou seja, durante o 11º estado de emergência nacional. À data da recolha dos dados, o cenário epidemiológico em Portugal era grave, com um número médio de novas infeções diárias a rondar os 1800 casos e contabilizando um número de 100 óbitos diários. A amostra obtida é uma amostra “bola de neve” ou “guiada pelo respondente”, tendo sido recolhidas 7873 respostas de inquiridos a residir em Portugal, com 16 ou mais anos de idade. Ao longo deste relatório focamo-nos na análise diferenciada dos impactos da pandemia nas diversas esferas da vida, nos diferentes grupos sociais e nas experiências vividas dos indivíduos e das famílias em cenário de confinamento. Para tal, centramo-nos em cinco questões: • Em que medida o confinamento de 2021 foi mais fácil, igual ou mais difícil do que o confinamento de 2020? • Quais os impactos da pandemia na vida profissional dos indivíduos? • Como é que os jovens viveram os seus quotidianos estudantis durante o confinamento e quais as suas maiores preocupações face ao futuro? • Como é que foi vivida a doença por aqueles que estiveram infetados com COVID-19 e que sequelas deixou tal experiência? • Quais os níveis de confiança nas instituições e decisores políticos e a quem é atribuída uma maior responsabilidade pela situação epidemiológica do país?

  • Trust matters: The Addressing Vaccine Hesitancy in Europe Study

    This article presents the design of a seven-country study focusing on childhood vaccines, Addressing Vaccine Hesitancy in Europe (VAX-TRUST), developed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study consists of (a) situation analysis of vaccine hesitancy (examination of individual, socio-demographic and macro-level factors of vaccine hesitancy and analysis of media coverage on vaccines and vaccination and (b) participant observation and in-depth interviews of healthcare professionals and vaccine-hesitant parents. These analyses were used to design interventions aimed at increasing awareness on the complexity of vaccine hesitancy among healthcare professionals involved in discussing childhood vaccines with parents. We present the selection of countries and regions, the conceptual basis of the study, details of the data collection and the process of designing and evaluating the interventions, as well as the potential impact of the study. Laying out our research design serves as an example of how to translate complex public health issues into social scientific study and methods.
  • Lockdown practices: a portrait of young people in the family during the first lockdown in Portugal
    Publication . Vieira, Maria Manuel; Almeida, Ana Nunes de; Ribeiro Santos, Ana Sofia
    Governments introduced protective public health measures, including lockdowns and social distancing, in response to the unprecedented global crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. For young people, such measures are particularly painful, as they entail an interruption of their transitions to adulthood, which generally require taking up their position in the public space and emerging as a recognised social peer, either through leaving the parental home, initiating an intimate relationship or getting a full-time job. In Portugal, where such transitions are often postponed, and young people cohabit with parents for much longer, lockdown meant withdrawal from the public space and living in an intensive family collective. This brought many challenges and created tension. Based on the results of a non-representative online survey on the impacts of the pandemic in Portugal, this article focuses how young people aged 16–24 adapted to the 2020 lockdown, using the conceptual lens of familialism. The results show that familialism remains a key support system in adversity, evidencing intergenerational solidarity through everyday practices of resilience and (self-) care, renewing and remaking social bonds. Individual distancing practices are deployed backstage, however, mitigating and nuancing the overwhelming hold of familialism.
  • Re-Envisioning Youth Studies in Times of Global Risks: an Introduction
    Publication . Ferreira, Vitor Sérgio; Almeida, Ana Nunes de
    Thirty years after the publication of Ulrich Beck’s Risk Society: Towards a New Modernity (1986/1992), the world has witnessed the rise and spread of risks of unprecedented intensity, scale, and pattern. Very often associated with climate change, disasters (floods, wildfires, hurricanes, droughts, etc.) occur in distinct local and national contexts but extend beyond political borders and regional territories, causing non-stationary, non-linear, multiplier (spreading across multiple dimensions of life), and long-lasting impacts in a globally interde- pendent system. In today’s highly interconnected world, risks take on global significance and evolve on a planetary scale, threatening our survival on the planet
  • Building a framework for child-centred disaster risk management in Europe
    Publication . Rodríguez-Giralt, Israel; Mort, Maggie; Almeida, Ana Nunes de; Ribeiro, Ana Sofia
    What might child-centred disaster risk management (DRM) planning look like? We argue that this would certainly involve a cultural shift within what is a highly adult-centric and often militaristic milieu, towards recognition of the value of young people’s experience and expertise. To examine what this shift involves, we work with two versions of ‘culture’. The first entails regarding children themselves as a cultural group, by virtue of being disenfranchised from DRM matters, which in turn gives children a particular perspective on risk and disaster. Second, and as we saw from Chapter 1, ‘childhood’ itself is often universalised, yet children embody all the cultural differences and diversity found in society as a whole. To help promote culturally sensitive disaster planning, particularly in a changing and increasingly diverse Europe, we have developed a resource to assist decision-makers and practitioners in disaster management work in a more child-friendly way. This Framework draws directly on what we have learned from the children and young people participating in the CUIDAR project (see Figure 4.1). It draws on what they told us they needed to become resilient; how ‘adultist’ plans should change, and how authorities and practitioners within DRM need to listen strategically to benefit from the contributions of children and young people.
  • “Warming the house”: Children and animals “doing family”
    Publication . Policarpo, Verónica; Almeida, Ana Nunes de; Tereno, Henrique
    In this article, we explore the common worlds of children and companion animals, and ask how animals are contributing to the making of contemporary families, and of childhood therein. Departing from D. H. Morgan’s conceptualisation of family practices, we explore the possibility of extending this concept to children-animals relationships and ask whether it is possible to talk about children-animal practices. We draw on empirical data from 48 interviews conducted within 24 Portuguese families, with children aged 8–14, and living with at least one dog and/or one cat for six months or more. We propose that animals are actively doing family, and contributing to the making of contemporary childhood and parenthood. We conclude that there is theoretical and methodological potential in developing the concept of children-animal practices.
  • Família / Family
    Publication . Almeida, Ana Nunes de
    Foi Ph. Ariès quem trouxe, em 1960, a proposta para as ciências sociais: o sentimento da infância seria um dos pilares fundadores da família moderna. Ao contrário do que sucedia nas sociedades rurais do Antigo Regime, o centramento afetivo do casal em torno da criança‑filho representa uma nova maneira de viver em família e de esta se relacionar com a comunidade. Desde meados do século XVIII, em meios burgueses das cidades europeias, onde a fecundidade começa a baixar, a família é representada como uma concha de laços afetivos entre marido e mulher, entre pais e filhos. À sua dimensão patrimonial, a da ordem das coisas e da sua transmissão, junta‑se agora a dimensão sentimental, a representação do amor como fundamento para a sua existência.
