Backscatter Diffraction

Welcome to the second special section of Microscopy and Microanalysis focused on electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), which follows the June 2011 issue. The content of the previous special section was provided by participants at EBSD 2010, the second Microanalysis Society (MAS) topical conference dedicated to EBSD in the United States. The present 2013 special section includes work from participants at both EBSD 2012, the third of such topical conferences (held June 19–21, 2012 at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA), and EMAS 2012, the European Microanalysis Society's 10th Regional Workshop that included three EBSD sessions (held June 17–20 at the Institute for Geosciences and Earth Resources, Padua, Italy).

The Third

The number of subjects now labelled as Oriental and the increasing development of knowledge concerning each, of these subjects, make it materially impossible for an individual to derive more than a fraction of the advantages offered by a Congress such as that recently held at Leyden. There were no fewer than nine sections (in fact, there should have been ten, a special section for Islamic Art having been eliminated) and over 200 papers were read during the five days that the Congress lasted, some of the sections sitting nearly five hours a day. It was inevitable that keenly interested delegates should again and again have to choose between equally attractive papers, especially where the third section (Central and Near Asia) and the eighth (Islam) were concerned.

The third chapter shifts to the social perspective by examining depictions of soldiers through war reportage and documents by the urban intellectuals and professionals involved with soldier support activities. Xu analyzes how those urban forces both collaborated with and complicated the heroic rhetoric of the soldier figure constructed by the Chinese Nationalist government. At the forefront, miserable treatment, mental desperation, violent misbehavior, and lack of education became the direct impression of soldiers from the urban publics. Xu further argues that the creation of soldier images different from those in the Nationalist rhetoric revealed the intention of these urban forces to advocate for their political influence as propaganda workers, social mobilizers, and army educators.

The World

India is currently the third-largest global consumer of petroleum products after the United States and China. The country produces approximately 720,000 barrels of crude oil and 3.16 billion ft3 of gas per day and imports more than 80% of its oil and 50% of its gas needs. This large discrepancy between domestic supply and consumption has been rising rapidly of late. With an economy growing at 6%–8% per year, India's energy demand growth over the next couple of decades is forecast to be among the highest in the world. To mitigate the heavy dependence on imported energy, India has stepped up efforts in recent years to increase domestic production of oil and gas.

Violent Events

Violence is a murky issue to research and to theorize: this introduction suggests that it has also often been approached differently by anthropologists and historians. In the pages that follow, we reflect on the ways in which both disciplines have worked to interpret violent events in Africa, whether in the deep past, during the colonial era or in more recent periods. To better contextualize these disciplinary advances, we intersperse them with brief reviews of general theories on violence. The three articles featured in this special section, while dealing with very dissimilar case studies, provide common insights on three main themes. The first engages with the paradox of the contingency and continuity of violence, and with the unevenness of perpetrators, victims and targets. The second deals with the refractive meanings attached to violent events. The third probes, underneath the apparent turmoil of violent acts, the deep moral and cultural frameworks of action that underwrite them. We have composed this introduction around these main questions.
