Gettysburg Unearthed:
Author: John G. Sabol Jr.
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1467827924
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
This book is the third in a series of anthropological studies which analyze ghosts and haunting phenomena in their cultural context. A history of visitations to the Gettysburg landscape is linked to the presence or absence of anomalous sensory manifestations. The preliminary analysis of the data suggests that the hauntings at Gettysburg may be a product of sociocultural factors, in part related to the growth of heritage tourism, rather than any ghostly manifestations by civil war soldiers. Since this is a preliminary analysis, a research design is proposed to further excavate the Gettysburg landscape. This approach is based on the use of ethnographic context, spatial symmetry, cultural relativity, and performance-based investigative practices. The author proposes that through this methodology, acontrolled excavation of the landscape can be made, thus unearthing a more scientific analysis and evaluation of Gettysburg as a haunted cultural place.

The History and Politics of Exhumation
Author: Michael L. Nash
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030240479
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
This book argues that a serious, scholarly study on exhumation is long overdue. Examining more well-known cases, such as that of Richard III, the Romanovs, and Tutankhamen, alongside the more obscure, Michael Nash explores the motivations beyond exhumation, from retribution to repatriation. Along the way, he explores the influence of Gothic fiction in the eighteenth century, the notoriety of the Ressurection Men in the nineteenth century, and the archeological heyday of the twentieth century.

From Modernist Entombment to Postmodernist Exhumation
Author: Lisa K. Perdigao
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317132076
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
How fictional representations of dead bodies develop over the twentieth century is the central concern of Lisa K. Perdigao's study of American writers. Arguing that the crisis of bodily representation can be traced in the move from modernist entombment to postmodernist exhumation, Perdigao considers how works by writers from F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, Willa Cather, and Richard Wright to Jody Shields, Toni Morrison, Octavia Butler, and Jeffrey Eugenides reflect changing attitudes about dying, death, and mourning. For example, while modernist writers direct their plots toward a transformation of the dead body by way of metaphor, postmodernist writers exhume the transformed body, reasserting its materiality. Rather than viewing these tropes in oppositional terms, Perdigao examines the implications for narrative of the authors' apparently contradictory attempts to recover meaning at the site of loss. She argues that entombment and exhumation are complementary drives that speak to the tension between the desire to bury the dead and the need to remember, indicating shifts in critical discussions about the body and about the function of aesthetics in relation to materialized violence and loss.

Hard Questions for the Bible Answer Man
Author: Jay Howard
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780615311678
Category : Christianity
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Hank Hanegraaff has been president of the Christian Research Institute since 1989. He is credited with authoring several books and also has been the host of The Bible Answer Man radio program. However, over the last few years a great deal of evidence has been unearthed to indicate that Hanegraaff's presidency is laced with multiple problems that need to be examined. In this ground-breaking book Jay Howard discusses many issues that show a blatant disregard for truth by the current CRI president. These and many more questions will be dealt with in the pages of Hard Questions for The Bible Answer Man: [ Was Hanegraaff really Walter Martin's handpicked-successor? [ Did Walter Martin's widow plan to endorse him, as the next CRI president, during the funeral? [ Is it really necessary for a president of a Christian nonprofit organization to make over $250,000 a year? [ Why did he fire so many key people after he took over in 1989? [ Was he equipped to take over The Bible Answer Man program in 1991? [ Why did CRI buy him a $66,000 Lexus sports car in 2004 while they were laying off staff? [ Did the post office in Rancho Santa Margarita really misdirect CRI's mail for three months at the end of 2004? [ Is his Personal Witness Training manual a plagiarism of Evangelism Explosion by D. James Kennedy? [ Why does he need to live in a one million dollar house in a gated community in North Carolina?
