Faded Memories
Faded Memories Life and Times of a Macedonian Villager 1 The COVER PAGE is a photograph of Lerin, the main township near the villages in which many of my family ancestors lived and regularly visited. 2 ACKNOWLEGEMENTS This publication is essentially an autobiography of the life and times of my father, John Christos Vellios, Jovan Risto Numeff. It records his recollections, the faded memories, passed down over the years, about his family ancestors and the times in which they lived. My father personally knew many of the people whom he introduces to his readers and was aware of more distant ancestors from listening to the stories passed on about them over the succeeding generations. His story therefore reinforces the integrity of oral history which has been used since ancient times, by various cultures, to recall the past in the absence of written, documentary evidence. This publication honours the memory of my father’s family ancestors and more generally acknowledges the resilience of the Macedonian people, who destined to live, seemingly forever under foreign subjugation, refused to deny their heritage in the face of intense political oppression and on-going cultural discrimination. This account of life and times of a Macedonian villager would not have been possible without the support and well-wishes of members of his family and friends whose own recollections have enriched my father’s narrative. I convey my deepest gratitude for the contributions my father’s brothers, my uncles Sam, Norm and Steve and to his nephew Phillip (dec), who so enthusiastically supported the publication of my father’s story and contributed on behalf of my father’s eldest brother Tom (dec) and his family. -
The Cigarette Card Series of W. Duke, Sons &
CAPITALIZING ON TABOOS IN ADVERTISING: THE CIGARETTE CARD SERIES OF W. DUKE, SONS & COMPANY by Janet Katelyn Hammond Honors Thesis Appalachian State University Submitted to the Department of History and The Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science May, 2018 Approved by: Michael C. Behrent, Ph.D., Thesis Director Katherine E. Ledford, Ph.D., University Honors Second Reader Allison Fredette, Ph.D., Departmental Honors Second Reader Michael C. Behrent, Ph.D., Departmental Honors Director Jefford Vahlbusch, Ph.D., Dean, The Honors College Hammond 1 Abstract This essay reveals the themes displayed in the cigarette card series produced at W. Duke, Sons & Co. from 1880 to 1900. The following mainly draws upon the cards themselves, the Duke family’s and the business’s correspondence, and other miscellaneous company notes. Topics covered include: a historiography, a family history, an overview of the cigarette and tobacco industries, late-eighteenth century capitalism and advertising methods, the interworking of the Duke company, and how the cigarette card series reflect all of these components. The overall argument is that the executives of this enterprise cashed in on the taboos of this time period while offering no new perspectives about the existing social hierarchy in the United States.

Anthropology of Tobacco
Anthropology of Tobacco Tobacco has become one of the most widely used and traded commodities on the planet. Reflecting contemporary anthropological interest in material culture studies, Anthropology of Tobacco makes the plant the centre of its own contentious, global story in which, instead of a passive commodity, tobacco becomes a powerful player in a global adventure involving people, corporations and public health. Bringing together a range of perspectives from the social and natural sciences as well as the arts and humanities, Anthropology of Tobacco weaves stories together from a range of historical, cross-cultural and literary sources and empirical research. These combine with contemporary anthropological theories of agency and cross-species relationships to offer fresh perspectives on how an apparently humble plant has progressed to world domination, and the consequences of it having done so. It also considers what needs to happen if, as some public health advocates would have it, we are seriously to imagine ‘a world without tobacco’. This book presents students, scholars and practitioners in anthropology, public health and social policy with unique and multiple perspectives on tobacco-human relations. Andrew Russell is Associate Professor in Anthropology at Durham University, UK, where he is a member of the Anthropology of Health Research Group. His research and teaching spans the sciences, arts and humanities, and mixes both theoretical and applied aspects. He has conducted research in Nepal, the UK and worldwide. Earlier books include The Social Basis of Medicine, which won the British Medical Association’s student textbook of the year award in 2010, and a number of edited volumes, the latest of which (co-edited with Elizabeth Rahman) is The Master Plant: Tobacco in Lowland South America. -
Era of the Cigarette Card”
In 1945 Esquire Magazine Reported on the “Era of the Cigarette Card” by George G. Vrechek Early articles about the trading card hobby started to appear in a few publications in the mid-1930s. Articles were written by Jefferson Burdick for Hobbies magazine or for his own small publication, The Card Collector’s Bulletin. Hobbies had a significant circulation and published over 100 pages each month, but the Burdick articles were brief and seldom illustrated. A 1929 The New Yorker magazine article, A New York Childhood, Cigarette Pictures, by Arthur H. Folwell, was a rare blip as to mainstream publicity about card collecting. In a January 6, 2006, SCD article I covered Folwell‟s piece which was based on his personal experience in collecting cards during the 1880s. It was a nice bit of nostalgia but didn‟t bring readers up to date as to any 1929 collecting activity. Esquire Magazine December 1945 I had heard of another card article that appeared in Esquire magazine in December 1945. Esquire preceded Playboy as a publication targeting the male audience. Hugh Hefner worked as a copywriter for Esquire before leaving in 1952 to establish Playboy. Esquires from this era contained pin-ups by Alberto Vargas and are collectible because of his artwork. The issue I finally managed to come up with was intact, except for the Vargas girl. There were some marginally naughty cartoons and a few young starlets in two piece swim suits interspersed among 328 pages of articles and ads. Esquire writers included Sinclair Lewis and dozens of other notables including one Karl Baarslag, the author of the cigarette card article of my interest. -

The Burning Mirror: a Christian Encounter with Shamanism

Dr. Sandy Yule Published in 'Voices from the Edge' Series, No. 3 ISPCK, Delhi 2005 May 2002 The Burning Mirror: Sandy Yule Table of Contents Introduction Conversational Beginnings Shamanism Interlude: Summoning Animal Spirits Christian Europe and Witches Interlude: Witches and Malevolence The Burning Mirror (Story) Interlude: Through the Looking Glass The Image of the Burning Mirror Interlude: Self-awareness Meeting the Aztecs Interlude: Evil and Holocausts Narcissus and Sin Interlude: Discerning the Spirits Exorcism Interlude: Demons The Spirits of the Dead Interlude: Spirit in Humans Australian Aborigines and Shamanism Interlude: Spirits in the Landscape Enlightenment Revisited Interlude: Recognizing Spirit Afterword Select Bibliography The Burning Mirror: Sandy Yule The Burning Mirror Introduction This book is offered as a work of Christian theological reflection. It arises from active listening, by a person committed to Christian faith and life, to another very different faith tradition, that of shamanism. In terms of method, the work occurs in the second person more than in the third. Listening to another tradition cannot be done with proper respect if the basic orientation is towards setting out the facts of the case from the supposedly universal viewpoint of the author. In dialogue, more than one view can be presented in its own terms. This allows for the possibility of meeting the alien tradition at its strongest rather than at its weakest point. This allows us to reflect on what we hear in terms of what it shows us about our own shadow. Active listening leads to active imagining of how to make sense of what we hear. -
