Children, like adults, can directly experience or be witness to interpersonal violence either within or outside the family, on one or repeated occasions. Intra-familial violence may result in the death or serious disablement of a parent or child, or may be experienced as child sexual abuse or chronic domestic violence. Non-familial violence includes urban violence now endemic in some communities, war and civil conflict, and vicarious violence such as in films and on television. Traumatic events can also occur by natural forces, for example, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes. This review will focus mainly on the effects on children of witnessing severe or repeated violence, sometimes resulting in death, occurring to a member of their family, perpetrated either by a parent, step-parent or cohabitee or by a person or persons unrelated to them, although it will draw on studies of other traumatic experiences where relevant.

Using the Theatre of Witness production I Once Knew a Girl as its focal point, this essay examines the operation of affect in performances that address Northern Ireland's history of civil conflict. I Once Knew a Girl seeks to capture women's experience of those decades. The gendered aspects of that conflict and of the associated violence and victimhood are rarely acknowledged or explored, although the research on domestic and sexual violence suggests that public civic violence has an aggravating impact on all forms of violence, including those normally designated as ‘private’. These performances focus on the personal and individual experience of the conflict and its aftermath, while seeking to create affective experiences for the spectators. Affect arguably facilitates the public telling of taboo stories while minimizing the potential for audience objectification and ‘Othering’ of the participant/protagonist. ‘Taboo’, because sexual and domestic violence – an issue that arises repeatedly within this production – is often minimized or marginalized in public discussion of the Northern Irish conflict, where the focus is on the ‘masculine’ narratives of nation and nationalisms.
