  • Death Is Never Over Life, Death and Grave Robbery in a Historic Cemetery
    Death is Never Over Life, Death and Grave Robbery in a Historic Cemetery By Rebecca Boggs Roberts B.A. in Politics, June 1992, Princeton University A Thesis submitted to The Faculty of The Columbian College of Arts and Sciences of The George Washington University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts May 20, 2012 Thesis directed by Roy Richard Grinker Professor of Anthropology, International Affairs, and Human Sciences Dedication This thesis is dedicated to the 55,000 men and women who are buried at Historic Congressional Cemetery in Washington, D.C. It’s been nice knowing you. ii Acknowledgements The author wishes to thank the staff at Historic Congressional Cemetery for their support and good humor; Cokie and Steve Roberts for the babysitting and copy editing; Dan Hartman for his infinite patience; and Jack, Cal, and Roland Hartman for letting mom steal the comfy desk chair. iii Abstract Death is Never Over Life, Death, and Grave Robbery in a Historic Cemetery The anthropology of death rituals describes various relationships among the three points of a triangle formed by the corpse, the soul, and the survivors. This structure, first proposed by Robert Hertz in 1907 and adapted many times since then, is useful for comparing seemingly disparate death rituals across cultures. Using this structure, the relative emphasis of one leg of the triangle over another can help clarify the needs a living community prioritizes upon the death of one of its members. I argue one leg of this triangle, the connection between the survivor and the corpse, deserves a longer period of examination.

The Centre’s State of Governance research project is devoted to providing empirical evidence and conceptual clarity about governance in Bangladesh. It seeks to demystify a contentious topic to further constructive discussion and debate. Good governance is often viewed as a means of advancing the agendas of official and multilateral development institutions. The Centre believes, however, that there is a large domestic constituency for good governance; and that governance is properly deliberated between citizens and their state rather than by the state and external institutions. The Centre’s working papers are a means of stimulating domestic discourse on governance in Bangladesh. They bring to the public domain the insights and analyses of the new generation of researchers. The initial working papers were originally developed as contributions and background papers for The State of Governance in Bangladesh 2006, the Centre’s first annual report.

  • Dissection: a Fate Worse Than Death
    Res Medica, Volume 21, Issue 1 Page 1 of 8 HISTORICAL ARTICLE Dissection: a fate worse than death Elizabeth F. Pond Year 3, MBBS Hull York Medical School Correspondence email: [email protected] Abstract The teaching of Anatomy in medical schools has significantly declined, and doubts have been raised over whether or not doctors of today are fully equipped with anatomical knowledge required to practice safely. The history of anatomy teaching has changed enormously over centuries, and donating your body to medical science after death is very different today, compared with the body snatching and exhumations of the 18th and 19th centuries. With stories of public outcry, theft and outright murder, the history of anatomical education is a fascinating one. History has made an abundance of significant anatomical discoveries, is it not fundamental that medical students today are aware of the great lengths that our peers went to in order to obtain such pioneering discoveries?

  • July-December, 2010 International Religious Freedom Report » East Asia and Pacific » Malaysia
    Malaysia Page 1 of 12 Home » Under Secretary for Democracy and Global Affairs » Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor » Releases » International Religious Freedom » July-December, 2010 International Religious Freedom Report » East Asia and Pacific » Malaysia Malaysia BUREAU OF DEMOCRACY, HUMAN RIGHTS, AND LABOR July-December, 2010 International Religious Freedom Report Report September 13, 2011 The constitution protects freedom of religion; however, portions of the constitution as well as other laws and policies placed some restrictions on religious freedom. The constitution gives the federal and state governments the power to "control or restrict the propagation of any religious doctrine or belief among persons professing the religion of Islam." The constitution also defines ethnic Malays as Muslim. Civil courts generally ceded authority to Sharia (Islamic law) courts on cases concerning conversion from Islam, and Sharia courts remained reluctant to allow for such conversions. There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom by the government during the reporting period. Muslims generally may not legally convert to another religion, although members of other religions may convert to Islam. Officials at the federal and state government levels oversee Islamic religious activities, and sometimes influence the content of sermons, use mosques to convey political messages, and prevent certain imams from speaking at mosques. The government maintains a dual legal system, whereby Sharia courts rule on religious and family issues involving Muslims and secular courts rule on other issues pertaining to both Muslims and the broader population. Government policies promoted Islam above other religions. Minority religious groups remained generally free to practice their beliefs; however, over the past several years, many have expressed concern that the civil court system has gradually ceded jurisdictional control to Sharia courts, particularly in areas of family law involving disputes between Muslims and non-Muslims.

  • History – Body Snatching! on the 17Th May 1978 the Body of Famous Actor
    History – Body Snatching! On the 17th May 1978 the body of famous actor Charlie Chaplin was found. The strange thing about this is that Charlie had died on Christmas day 1977 and he was buried in a cemetery near the family home. However, his body, still in the coffin, was stolen from his grave! It took 11 weeks to find the stolen body. The people who stole Charlie’s body were hoping to get a large amount of money to return it. This certainly wasn’t the first time people had stolen human bodies. Video clip - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7L8CM03lMo Before 1832 it was illegal for anyone to dissect human bodies (apart from some criminals). Who do you think would want to dissect a human body? Why would they want to? Why do you think they were not allowed to? In 1832 a new law was introduced that allowed doctors, medical students and teachers of anatomy to dissect bodies that were donated to them. Before this the only way anyone could dissect a body was if a criminal was executed and the court said they could have the body. This meant that very few bodies were available for doctors to study. Doctors said it was important to do this so they could learn how the human body worked. So, some doctors would pay for bodies that came from other places! People started to steal dead bodies from hospitals, morgues and even graveyards. But they had to be fresh! Grave with metal bars to stop body snatchers. A watchtower in a cemetery to catch body snatchers.

PREFACE. Shortly after the decease of Dr. Robert Knox (Dec. 1862), several friends solicited me to write his Life, but I respectfully declined, on the grounds that I had no literary experience, and that there were other pupils and associates of the Anatomist senior to myself, and much more competent to undertake his biography : moreover, I was borne down at the time by a domestic sorrow so trying that the seven years since elapsing have not entirely effaced its influence.

  • Multi-Tiered Marriage: Ideas and Influences from New York and Louisiana to the International Community
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by bepress Legal Repository MULTI-TIERED MARRIAGE: IDEAS AND INFLUENCES FROM NEW YORK AND LOUISIANA TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY Joel A. Nichols* ABSTRACT This Article contends that American society needs to hold a genuine discussion about alternatives to current conceptions of marriage and family law jurisdiction. Specifically, the Article suggests that the civil government should consider ceding some of its jurisdictional authority over marriage and divorce law to religious communities that are competent and capable of adjudicating the marital rites and rights of their respective adherents. There is historical precedent and preliminary movement toward this end -- both within and without the United States -- which might serve as the framework for further discussions. Within the United States, the relatively new covenant marriage statutes of Louisiana, Arizona, and Arkansas provide a form of two-tiered marriage and divorce law. But there is even an earlier, and potentially more fulsome, example in New York’s get statutes. New York’s laws derive from civil statutes that deal with specific problems raised by the intersection of civil law and Jewish law in marriage and divorce situations. New York’s laws implicitly acknowledge that there are multiple understandings of the marital relationship already present among members of society. These examples from within the United States lay the groundwork for a heartier discussion of the proper role of the state and other groups with respect to marriage and divorce law. As part of that discussion, the Article contends that the United States should look outward, to the practices of other countries.
