Haunted Heritage
Author: Michele Hanks
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1315427591
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Haunted Heritage is a fascinating scholarly examination of the dynamics of ghost or paranormal tourism. Michele Hanks explores how this phenomenon allows for the re-articulation and re-configuring of ideas of heritage, epistemic authority, nation, and belonging. Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, Hanks delves into the anthropological, sociological, political, historical, and cultural factors that drive this burgeoning business. Using York, England, said to be “the most haunted city in the world,” as the base for her research, Hanks focuses on three forms of ghost tourism: ghost walks, commercial ghost hunts, and non-profit ghost hunts and paranormal investigations, comparing the experience of York with other sites of ghost tourism globally. This book will appeal to scholars interested in tourism, heritage, the paranormal, visual cultural, British studies, or popular religion.

WhoÕs the bloke in the black?:1950s Teesside nostalgia and the further adventures of Derek, Dennis and Micky
Author: Alan Dodgson
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0244739838
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
Derek is the eldest child in a working-class family of five children, growing up in the aftermath of a world war, in the small village of Norton, a suburb of the town of Stockton-on-Tees in County Durham. In this nostalgic sequel to the author's first book, Teesside Tales, Derek's family and acquaintances, as well as childhood adventures with friends, are captured in these short stories, whilst documenting historical, geographical and social change. As a child, Derek and his pals, Dennis and Micky, are sheltered from the adult world of work and life's day-to-day drudgery. In the 1950s, Stockton's a town in slow decline since the heady days of docks, mines and factory industries giving almost full employment. During Derek's childhood, the biggest employer in the area was the Billingham ICI chemical works which loomed over the town, creating air pollution which would later give Teessiders the unkind knick-name of Smoggies!
