  • SELF-FLAGELLATION in the EARLY MODERN ERA Patrick
    SELF-FLAGELLATION IN THE EARLY MODERN ERA Patrick Vandermeersch Self-fl agellation is often understood as self-punishment. History teaches us, however, that the same physical act has taken various psychologi- cal meanings. As a mass movement in the fourteenth century, it was primarily seen as an act of protest whereby the fl agellants rejected the spiritual authority and sacramental power of the clergy. In the sixteenth century, fl agellation came to be associated with self-control, and a new term was coined in order to designate it: ‘discipline’. Curiously, in some religious orders this shift was accompanied by a change in focus: rather than the shoulders or back, the buttocks were to be whipped instead. A great controversy immediately arose but was silenced when the possible sexual meaning of fl agellation was realized – or should we say, constructed? My hypothesis is that the change in both the name and the way fl agellation was performed indicates the emergence of a new type of modern subjectivity. I will suggest, furthermore, that this requires a further elaboration of Norbert Elias’s theory of the ‘civiliz- ing process’. A Brief Overview of the History of Flagellation1 Let us start with the origins of religious self-fl agellation. Although there were many ascetic practices in the monasteries at the time of the desert fathers, self-fl agellation does not seem to have been among them. With- out doubt many extraordinary rituals were performed. Extreme degrees 1 The following historical account summarizes the more detailed historical research presented in my La chair de la passion.

  • Abolition in Context: the Historical Background of the Campaign for the Abolition of the Slave Trade
    Abolition in context: the historical background of the campaign for the abolition of the slave trade Jeffrey HOPES Université du Mans The abolition of the slave trade by the British Parliament in 1807 was one of a series of legislative measures which led progressively to the abandonment of the slave economy in British held territories, culminating in the abolition of the legal framework of slavery in 1833 and in 1838 when the apprenticeship system was ended.1 The whole process whereby first the slave trade and then slavery itself were abolished can only be understood if all the different contexts, economic, military, political, ideological, cultural and social in which it took place are taken into account. The constant inter-connection of these contexts precludes any simple reliance on single explanations for the abolition of the slave trade, however tempting such explanations may be. In briefly summarising the nature of this multiple contextualisation, I do not wish to enter the on-going and fraught debate on the reasons for the abolition of the slave trade but simply to present it as a multi-faceted question, one which, like so many historical events, takes on a different appearance according to the position – in time and space – from which we approach it. Abolition and us In this respect, the first context which needs to be mentioned is that of our own relationship to the issue of slavery. The bicentenary of abolition in 2007 has seen the publication of a flood of articles, books, exhibitions and radio and television programmes in Britain and abroad.

    L. Adler, Kelling Essay Prize Lauren Adler Thora Brylowe ENGL 4524-001 18 December 2018 Comparative Analysis of William Blake’s Engravings in Narrative of a Five Years Expedition against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam and Visions of the Daughters of Albion Throughout 18th century Britain, the slave trade was a debated topic of discussion. The abolition campaign, made of up people like Olaudah Equiano, Grandville Sharp, Thomas Clarkson, William Wilberforce, and other citizens saw the slave trade as cruel and unjust due to the horrific conditions slaves were subject to. On the other hand, slave owners and those in Parliament saw it as a way to keep social order in Britain, supporting the practice itself (Bindman 11). Writers and engravers like William Blake grew up witnessing the slave trade, evident in his allusions to it in his own works. Additionally, he did engravings for others that witnessed the slave trade first-hand like John Stedman, a soldier who spent five years writing about the atrocities that slaves experienced in Surinam. While Blake’s depiction of slaves in his engravings for Stedman in Narrative of a Five Years Expedition against the Revolted Negroes of Surinam align with what Mbemé classifies as the living dead in his essay “Necropolitics,” his engravings of Oothoon in Visions of the Daughters of Albion challenges this notion as she becomes a figure of resistance and agency. J.-A. Mbemé coins the term necropolitics as an extension of Michel Foucault’s biopolitics, which he summarizes as “the domain of life over which power has taken control” (12).

Santa Barbara, CA: ABC-CLIO, 2010, 1120-1122 Flagellation Peter J. Bräunlein Flagellation is the act of whipping the human body by using flexible instruments such as the whip, the scourge, or cat-o’-nine-tails. Flagellation can be located in the context of law, religion, medicine, or sexual excitation. In many cases the juridical and religious aspects are indivisible, whereas sexual arousal by (self-) flagellation is a distinguished phenomenon of Western modernity. In two monotheistic traditions—Roman Catholicism and Shia Islam—self-flagellation plays a role until today. Flagellation in Antiquity The use of flogging instruments has been a long legal tradition of corporal punishment. The Latin word flagellum designates a multi-thong type scourge (whip, lash) with interlaced pieces of metal or bones that inflicts severe wounds on the body of the convict. The Roman law prescribed punishment by the flagellum either to extract a confession or as an overture to execution or as a distinct penalty. In the ancient Latin world flagellation was considered an extreme, gruesome penalty that caused not only tremendous pain but oftentimes grave mutilation and even death. Roman citizens were exempt from being sentenced to scourging whereas noncitizens were subject to it. Furthermore, the whipping of slaves was a common practice throughout the antique world. The ritualistic usage of the whip was practiced in various Greco-Roman and Egyptian cults, namely, the cult of Isis, the Dionysian cult, the Thargelia festival, or the Roman festival of Lupercalia.

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 participants who identify as “white” and were born and raised in the United States. Participants were asked to reflect on their memories of learning about, talking about, and knowing about the history of slavery; to share their internal representations of slavery and how they imagine their familial, personal, and imagined relationship with slavery; to report their beliefs about the impact of slavery on themselves personally and on contemporary society; and to share their ideas about how slavery should be taught to children. The findings indicated that many contemporary white Americans have an intense and conflictual emotional and psychological relationship to U.S.

    BOOK REVIEWS Father Junípero’s Confessor. By Nick Taylor. Berkeley, CA: Heyday Books, 2013. Map. 288 pp. $16.00 paper. Reviewed by Ryan Jordan, Lecturer, Department of History, University of San Diego. In the history of California there are few figures as important—or as controversial—as Junípero Serra. The man who played a pivotal role in the creation of the mission system has elicited strong emotions over the years. Some have seen Serra as a well-intentioned agent of civilization for the natives while others have viewed Serra as a man guilty of nothing less than genocide. As always, the truth is far more complicated, and Nick Taylor’s novel captures many of the idiosyncrasies in Serra’s character without demonizing the Franciscan missionary. The celebration of Junípero Serra’s three hundredth birthday in 2013 led to renewed focus on the history of Spanish California, and Taylor’s novel is timely. Unlike other biographical treatments, Taylor relates the story of Serra and the missions from the fictional perspective of Fray Francisco Palóu. Palóu, it should be recalled, not only accompanied Serra on part of his journey to California, but also wrote two works on the history of the missions and on the life of Serra that are still read by scholars of New Spain. In Taylor’s novel, however, Palóu has considerable reservations regarding the character of Junípero Serra, which is in contrast to the accounts left by Palóu in the historical record. Through the voice of Palóu, for example, Taylor takes the reader through several episodes of Serra’s gruesome self-flagellation, which makes for a gripping, if at times disturbing, read.
