This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Relations has traditionally focused on conflict and war, but the effects of violence including dead bodies and memorialization practices have largely been considered beyond the purview of the field. Drawing on Jacques Derrida’s notion of hauntology to consider the politics of life and death, Auchter traces the story of how life and death and a clear division between the two is summoned in the project of statecraft. She argues that by letting ourselves be haunted, or looking for ghosts, it is possible to trace how statecraft relies on the construction of such a dichotomy. Three empirical cases offer fertile ground for complicating the picture often painted of memorialization: Rwandan genocide memorials, the underexplored case of undocumented immigrants who die crossing the US-Mexico border, and the body/ruins nexus in 9/11 memorialization. Focusing on the role of dead bodies and the construction of particular spaces as the appropriate sites for memory to be situated, it offers an alternative take on the new materialisms movement in international relations by asking after the questions that arise from an ethnographic approach to the subject: viewing things from the perspective of dead bodies, who occupy the shadowy world of post-conflict international politics. This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of critical international relations, security studies, statecraft and memory studies.

This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It's so strange how your life can dramatically change from just one event. I now see my life divided into two – before the tragedy and after. Now, the present, will always be after. This is after.' Amanda Wright was just four years old when she witnessed her mother’s brutal murder. John Dickinson, a family friend, strangled her mother to death in front of her and then he tried to do the same to Amanda. He laid their lifeless bodies out on their bed, set fire to it and left the house, hoping the fire would conceal the crime. It was the milkman who saved Amanda's life, though it was too late for mum Sue. Amanda spent weeks in hospital for painful skin graft operations on her burned legs before moving in with her grandparents. Yet, from the day of the tragedy she was haunted by flashbacks and nightmares. On her first day of school, Amanda watched other children crying for their mummies and suddenly realised that she would never see her own mother again. It was a painful adjustment for a little girl who, until that moment, had spent her whole life with her mum. More alone than ever before she was determined not to give in, finding strength in her memories of her mother. Without a Mother's Love is a sad, strange yet beautiful story about a girl who lost everything but found the strength inside herself to make her mother proud.

Download or read book Ghosts Landscapes and Social Memory written by Martyn Hudson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a groundbreaking attempt to rethink the landscapes of the social world and historical practice by theorising ‘social haunting’: the ways in which the social forms, figures, phantasms and ghosts of the past become present to us time and time again. Examining the relationship between historical practices such as archaeology and archival work in order to think about how the social landscape is reinvented with reference to the ghosts of the past, the author explores the literary and historical status and accounts of the ghost, not for what they might tell us about these figures, but for their significance for our, constantly re-invented, re-vivified, re-ghosted social world. With chapters on haunted houses and castles, slave ghosts, the haunting airs of music, the prehistoric origin of spirits, Marxist spectres, Freudian revenants, and the ghosts in the machine, Ghosts, Landscapes and Social Memory adopts multi-disciplinary methods for understanding the past, the dead and social ghosts and the landscapes they appear in. A sociology of haunting that illustrates how social landscapes have their genesis and perpetuation in haunting and the past, this volume will appeal to sociologists and social theorists with interests in memory, haunting and culture.

Download or read book The Ghosts of Guerrilla Memory written by Matthew Christopher Hulbert and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2016-10-15 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Civil War tends to be remembered as a vast sequence of battles, with a turning point at Gettysburg and a culmination at Appomattox. But in the guerrilla theater, the conflict was a vast sequence of home invasions, local traumas, and social degeneration that did not necessarily end in 1865. This book chronicles the history of “guerrilla memory,” the collision of the Civil War memory “industry” with the somber realities of irregular warfare in the borderlands of Missouri and Kansas. In the first accounting of its kind, Matthew Christopher Hulbert’s book analyzes the cultural politics behind how Americans have remembered, misremembered, and re-remembered guerrilla warfare in political rhetoric, historical scholarship, literature, and film and at reunions and on the stage. By probing how memories of the guerrilla war were intentionally designed, created, silenced, updated, and even destroyed, Hulbert ultimately reveals a continent-wide story in which Confederate bushwhackers—pariahs of the eastern struggle over slavery—were transformed into the vanguards of American imperialism in the West.
Download or read book Haunting Capital written by Hershini Bhana Young and published by UPNE. This book was released on 2006 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Haunting Capital, Hershini Young sets out to re-theorize the African diaspora "so that the concept becomes unintelligible without an understanding of gender as a constitutive element." Young uses the historically injured bodies of black women, as represented in novels by black women, to talk about colonialism, gender, race, memory and haunting. Haunting Capital departs from traditional trauma studies, which stress individual wounding and psychotherapeutic models. Instead, Young explores the notion of injury as a collective wounding, resulting from the trauma of capitalistic regimes such as slavery and colonialism. She also introduces the idea of the ghost to her discussion of collective injury, where it functions not only on theoretical and metaphorical levels, but also by invoking African cosmologies in which ghosts are ancestral beings with a real spiritual presence. More specifically, Young insists on the contemporary reality of African nations and eschews the presentation of Africa as a vague, undifferentiated point of origin that characterizes many other studies of the African diaspora. Her reading of African contemporary novels by women, alongside African American and Caribbean novels, works to show the African diaspora as haunted by similar, though different, issues of gendered and racialized violence.

Book excerpt: The old house stood resolute, its weathered facade a silent witness to the tragedies that had unfolded within its walls. To Elias Montgomery, a man haunted by his own ghosts, it represented a chance at redemption, a way to breathe new life into a neglected beauty. Little did he know that the bargain he had struck with the realtor would lead him down a path of unraveling secrets and confronting the demons of his past. As Elias stepped through the threshold, the house seemed to embrace him with a mournful sigh, its empty rooms whispering of forgotten dreams and the weight of unseen eyes watching his every move. The scent of decay hung heavy in the air, a heady mix of wood rot and shattered hopes, as if the very walls were weeping for the lives they had witnessed slip away. It was then that Elias felt their presence - a phantom couple, their love story etched into the faded wallpaper and the chipped cups in the kitchen. Alice and William, young and vibrant, their smiles radiating a joy that resonated even in their absence. Through faded photographs and love letters tucked away in dusty drawers, Elias pieced together their tragic tale, a story that would soon become inextricably intertwined with his own. One year ago, Alice and William had been brutally murdered, their lives snuffed out in a senseless act of violence that had faded into the noise of the world. Elias, lost in his own grief, had paid no heed to the news. But now, as he delved deeper into the house's secrets, the horrifying truth revealed itself like a wound that refused to heal. He was the man who had killed them, the architect of their tragedy, the perpetrator of their silence. The guilt, bottled up and buried for too long, rose like a tide, threatening to drown Elias in its depths. He saw them everywhere - Alice in the garden, tending to her roses, her laughter echoing in the wind; William in the study, his fingers tracing the lines of a worn book, a sigh escaping his lips. Their presence was a constant reminder, a haunting echo of his past that he could not escape. Elias tried to leave, to flee from the weight of their sorrow, but the house seemed to hold him captive. Each morning, he woke to the scent of fresh-baked bread, a phantom aroma of Alice's love. Each night, he heard William's whispered lullabies, the melody weaving its way through the darkness, taunting him with the memories he had so callously destroyed. Unable to escape their haunting presence, their silent pleas for justice, Elias began to renovate the house, painstakingly restoring it to its former glory. The process was cathartic, a way to atone for his past. Every nail hammered, every brushstroke, was a silent apology, a desperate attempt to fill the house with their memories, with their love, making it a shrine to their lives, a testament to his regret. One year later, on the anniversary of their death, Elias stood on the porch, Alice's rocking chair swaying gently in the breeze. He looked at the house, no longer a place of sorrow but a monument to love, a place where their story would forever be told. He knew he could never undo the past, could never bring them back, but he had found a way to honor their memory, to live with their presence, and to find some semblance of peace in their haunting love. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the cracked stone steps, Elias felt a weight lift from his shoulders. The house, once a prison of his guilt, had become a sanctuary, a testament to the power of redemption. And in the silence of the old house, he finally found a way to live with his ghosts, to embrace the echoes of a love that had transcended even death itself.

Book excerpt: "Oh, no-" the anguished cry rang out. For a sister and her brothers, it was terrible news-of a death in the family-the death that left them dumbfounded. Broken hearted, here they were, a grand family suddenly bereft of a great part. It made no sense. "...Sorry to inform you," the awful words struck like a thunderbolt. Mom and dad had crashed on their vacation trip. -So unfair, so unreal, so jarring...so final. All the siblings could think of was how much love was lost to them. Their parents were the linchpins; they were the finest; they were the most revered. At a loss due to a loss. So much love and affection was denied them in an unpredictable moment. What was to become of them? Mom with her daily wisdom. Dad with his usual counsel. Mom with her laugh. Dad with his wry humor. Mom with her catering and caring. Dad with his hugs and counsel. What will they do without them? The sister and her husband, the brothers and their wives, succumbed to the pain, weakening them. Where would the strength come from that was required to survive such a tragedy? When ravaged by happenstance, What holds the family together when hope and promise lose some of their dash? In the moments of crisis, inevitably, people are hanging on by hanging tough. That courage comes from their heritage, which is the real force, the saving grace. It's not just what they have inherited in family lore, but the bond that ties endowment and legacy together in a triumvirate that can spark the spirit. Haunting Memories says something about how desire can influence perception; by allowing-or causing-us to see what we want to see. We wonder when they're gone, Did we do enough for them? Did we express our love and affection often enough? Were we good to them? We aren't going to be able to answer yes to all such questions without some reservation. -Because we're never going to think we've done all that we could have or should have done for our loved ones. We can't get our minds off them. We can't let them go. We want them back. But we can't have them back. They are where they are. -And we can't get there from here.
