Download or read book Consoling Ghosts written by Jean M. Langford and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In conversation with emigrants from Laos and Cambodia, Jean M. Langford repeatedly met with spirits: the wandering souls of the seriously ill, dangerous ghosts of those who died by violence, restless ancestors displaced from their homes. For these emigrants, the dead not only appear in memories, safely ensconced in the past, but also erupt with a physical force into the daily life and dreams of the present. Inspired by these conversations, Consoling Ghosts is a sustained contemplation of relationships with the dying and the dead. At their heart, as Langford’s work reveals, emigrants’ stories are parables not of cultural difference but rather of life and death. Langford inquires how and why spirits become implicated in remembering and responding to violence, whether the bloody violence of war or the more structural violence of social marginalization and poverty. What is at stake, she asks, when spirits break out of their usual confinement as symbolic figures for history, heritage, or trauma to haunt the corridors of hospitals and funeral homes? Emigrants’ theories and stories of ghosts, Langford suggests, inherently question the metaphorical status of spirits, in the process challenging both contemporary bioethics of dying and dominant styles of mourning. Consoling Ghosts explores the possibilities opened up by a more literal existence of ghosts, from the confrontation of shades of past violence through bodily ritual to rites of mourning that unfold in acts of material care for the dead instead of memorialization. Ultimately the book invites us to consider alternate ways of facing death, conducting relationships with the dead and dying, and addressing the effects of violence that continue to reverberate in bodies and social worlds.

Download or read book The Daughters of the Plaza de Mayo written by David Moshman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1970s some 30,000 Argentines, mostly young men and women thought to have leftist sympathies, were kidnapped and tortured to death by the military government, which denied what was happening. In response, the mothers of the disappeared came together and marched in Buenos Aires at the Plaza de Mayo, demanding week after week that their children be returned or accounted for. Democracy was finally restored, with promises of truth and justice. As memory gave way to historical amnesia, however, and judicial processes to "reconciliation," the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo continued to march. "Do not forget," they insisted, "do not forgive." Sixty years later, a nonlocalizable electronic agent that calls itself the Daughters of the Plaza de Mayo emerges on the global Network. No one knows what the Daughters are or what they want. They tell horrifying stories from Argentina and elsewhere. They provide seemingly endless lists of victims' names. They invoke El Eternauta, a comic book character from a space beyond time, to press a moral perspective that demands the impossible. They are singular and plural, informative and obscure, irritating, threatening, unclassifiable, and relentless in the pursuit of their agenda, whatever that may be.

Download or read book The Field Guide to Understanding Human Error written by Sidney Dekker and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When faced with a ’human error’ problem, you may be tempted to ask 'Why didn’t these people watch out better?' Or, 'How can I get my people more engaged in safety?' You might think you can solve your safety problems by telling your people to be more careful, by reprimanding the miscreants, by issuing a new rule or procedure and demanding compliance. These are all expressions of 'The Bad Apple Theory' where you believe your system is basically safe if it were not for those few unreliable people in it. Building on its successful predecessors, the third edition of The Field Guide to Understanding ’Human Error’ will help you understand a new way of dealing with a perceived 'human error' problem in your organization. It will help you trace how your organization juggles inherent trade-offs between safety and other pressures and expectations, suggesting that you are not the custodian of an already safe system. It will encourage you to start looking more closely at the performance that others may still call 'human error', allowing you to discover how your people create safety through practice, at all levels of your organization, mostly successfully, under the pressure of resource constraints and multiple conflicting goals. The Field Guide to Understanding 'Human Error' will help you understand how to move beyond 'human error'; how to understand accidents; how to do better investigations; how to understand and improve your safety work. You will be invited to think creatively and differently about the safety issues you and your organization face. In each, you will find possibilities for a new language, for different concepts, and for new leverage points to influence your own thinking and practice, as well as that of your colleagues and organization. If you are faced with a ’human error’ problem, abandon the fallacy of a quick fix. Read this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Dead Speak What if the comfort of hearing from your loved ones after they've passed was a cruel illusion, a carefully orchestrated manipulation designed to sow discord and destroy a community from within? In the idyllic town of Havenwood, a quiet peace is shattered when residents begin receiving text messages from their deceased loved ones. Initially greeted with disbelief and then a fragile hope, these messages soon stir a storm of emotion, rekindling old wounds and questioning the very fabric of their community. Reverend Sam Bennet, still grappling with the loss of his wife Sarah, is among those who receive a message. The voice is unmistakably hers, but the content feels too personal, too eerily familiar. He's not alone. Esther Hawkins, mourning the loss of her dear friend Martha, receives a message referencing a shared quilt, a poignant memory forever etched in her heart. As the messages spread, a sense of unease and suspicion begins to grip the town. Whispers of a haunting phenomenon turn into a desperate search for answers. Enter Samantha, a local tech wiz with a sharp mind and a knack for decoding digital mysteries. She uncovers a chilling truth – the messages are not supernatural, but a calculated manipulation orchestrated by Paul Davies, the quiet owner of the local tech repair shop. Paul, fueled by a complex mix of personal demons and a shadowy organization known as "The Shepherd," has been exploiting the town's grief for an insidious purpose: to destabilize Havenwood from within. Driven by a shared desire to protect their community and expose the truth, Reverend Sam, Samantha, and Esther embark on a perilous journey, confronting Paul and unmasking the Shepherd's network. They find themselves in a race against time, battling a technologically sophisticated foe that threatens to unravel the very foundations of their way of life. As the investigation deepens, the lines between reality and illusion blur. The truth, they discover, is far more chilling than any ghost story. The Shepherd's motives are chilling, their reach vast, and their methods a terrifying blend of deception, social manipulation, and a relentless hunger for power. Can Havenwood reclaim its lost innocence? Can they heal the wounds inflicted by a digital conspiracy that preys on their vulnerabilities? Or will The Shepherd's sinister plan unravel their community from within, leaving them forever scarred by the ghosts of their past?

Ever since he'd encountered the spirit of his friend's deceased mother, strange things have been happening. His sheriff's tin star keeps popping off, his Stetson tends to fly off his head at the most inconvenient times—and then there are the subtle caresses that remind him of a lover's touch... Something Laine has been without for years—since the violent murder of his partner—and figures to be without well into the future if he wants to retain his position as the sheriff in the small town of McKinton, Texas.

A man who listens to spirits, Severo has come to McKinton to deliver a message of danger. One look at the sexy sheriff and Severo finds himself in a different sort of danger. He's not ready to find a man who can claim him heart, soul, and body, but ready or not, the attraction that simmers between them is undeniable—and irresistible. Together, they will race against time, because something evil is coming to McKinton. Severo and Laine must learn to trust each other—and themselves— and listen when the dead speak.
