  • The Spirit and the Gifts: Dako, Benjamin Morrell and Cargo in the Vitiaz Trading Area, New Guinea
    The Spirit and the Gifts: Dako, Benjamin Morrell and Cargo in the Vitiaz Trading area, New Guinea Jennifer Blythe McMaster University James Fairhead, University of Sussex ABSTRACT In 1830 an American trader, Benjamin Morrell, abducted Dako, the son of a prominent leader from Uneapa Island in the Bismarck Sea, took him to New York and, four years later, returned him to Uneapa. Dako‘s encounter with America and his return provides insight into the region half a century before colonization, and in particular into local mytho-practical knowledge at that time. This enables us to discern subsequent transformations. Myths concerning an origin spirit and guardian of the dead, Pango, which then dominated Uneapa cosmology have since ‗disappeared‘. This, we argue, is not because Pango has been superseded or suppressed, but because the parallel ‗white‘ world over which the mytho- practical Pango presided has become ever more manifest as Uneapa has been drawn into a colonial, post-colonial and globalised world. Today, Pango refers predominantly to white people. Islander‘s experience of American ‗Pango‘ was a shocking event at the time, but we show how trading with Pango established transformatory possibilities for reciprocal trading relations with the dead which remain the concern of today‘s Cult movement on the island. Cargo cult. Uneapa, Vitu Islands, mythology, first contact, Benjamin Morrell, Dako INTRODUCTION: THE MORRELL-DAKO EPISODE AS EVENTFUL HAPPENING Since Lawrence‘s (1964) classic study of a Melanesian ‗cargo cult‘, many writers have interpreted these movements as indigenous modes of engagement with super-ordinary beings and the dead, albeit transformed by colonial and post-colonial experience.

  • Cardinal Tradition Louisville Basketball
    Cardinal Tradition Louisville Basketball Louisville Basketball Tradition asketball is special to Kentuckians. The sport B permeates everyday life from offices to farm- lands, from coal mines to neighborhood drug stores. It is more than just a sport played in the cold winter months. It is a source of pride filled year-round with anticipation, hope and celebration. Kentuckians love their basketball, and the tradition-rich University of Louisville program has supplied its fans with one of the nation’s finest products for decades. Legendary coach Bernard “Peck” Hickman, a Basketball Hall of Fame nominee, arrived on the UofL campus in 1944 to begin a remarkable string of 46 consecutive winning seasons. For 23 seasons, Hickman laid an impressive foundation for UofL. John Dromo, an assistant coach under Hickman for 19 years, continued the Louisville program in outstanding fashion following Hickman’s retirement. For 30 years, Denny Crum followed the same path of success that Hickman and Dromo both walked, guiding the Cardinals to even higher acclaim. Now, Coach Rick Pitino energized a re-emergence in building upon the rich UofL tradition in his 16 years, guiding the Cardinals to the 2013 NCAA championship, NCAA Final Fours in 2005 and 2012 and the NCAA Elite Eight five of the past 10 sea- sons. Among the Cardinals’ past successes include national championships in the NCAA (1980,1986, 2013), NIT (1956) and the NAIB (1948). UofL is Taquan Dean kisses the Freedom Hall floor Tremendous pride is taken in the tradition the only school in the nation to have claimed the after his final game as a Cardinal.

  • Silas Enoch Burrows and the Search for Sir John Franklin
    Silas Enoch Burrows and the Search for Sir John Franklin Douglas Wamsley Silas Enoch Burrows (1794-1830), a Stonington-born merchant, established a successful international shipping business operating from the cities of New York, San Francisco, Hong Kong and Montevideo among others. With his financial success, he became known for his generous charitable acts and, as a man of the sea, he took a particular interest in the aid of shipwrecked mariners. After Sir John Franklin’s expedition ships HMS Erebus and HMS Terror were lost in the Arctic, Burrows befriended Lady Jane Franklin, the missing navigator’s wife, who was determined to ascertain the fate of her missing husband and his crew. Through the public and private relationships established by Burrows over the years, Burrows managed to assist Lady Franklin in a meaningful way in obtaining assistance in the search for her husband. This article examines circumstances that led to the involvement of Silas Burrows in the search for Sir John Franklin and his efforts on behalf of Lady Franklin. ____________________________________________________________________________ The protracted and frustrating search for the missing Arctic expedition commanded by the British explorer Sir John Franklin in the mid-19th century captured international attention. With the recent discovery of Sir John Franklin’s ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, there has been a renewed interest in the expedition’s fate. Franklin’s ships departed England in May 1845 to much fanfare. After no word had been received from the expedition by 1849, Lady Jane Franklin, the lost explorer’s wife, made an impassioned appeal directly to President Zachary Taylor seeking the assistance of the U.S.

HARDER ABSTRACT The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym stands out among Edgar Allan Poe’s body of work as his only novel. It also stands out in the fact that it has received comparatively little attention from scholars, owing at least in part to the idea that it is a literary failure on Poe’s part. Analysis reveals quite the contrary, however, as the novel is not a disjointed narrative masquerading as travel literature, but rather it is a satire of the genre of travel literature. Poe was driven to write the novel at the behest of his publisher, who also encouraged Poe to plagiarize “authentic” travel literature for his own narrative in order to create a more saleable product. Poe borrowed heavily from Benjamin Morrell’s A Narrative of Four Voyages and fashioned his own novel as a satire of Morrell’s reportedly true account.

    Island Studies Journal, 15(1), 2020, 271-278 Book reviews Ian Kinane (Ed.) (2019). Didactics and the modern robinsonade. Liverpool: Liverpool University Press. 207pp. ISBN: 9781789620047. Hardback, £90. Didactics and the modern robinsonade is a collection that looks at modern stories belonging to the robinsonade genre, and how they have changed the trends set by earlier works. The ‘robinsonade’ refers to the litany of adventure stories modelled after Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe, which make use of the desert island trope to narrate the journey of the protagonist(s), and simultaneously drive home implicit or explicit messages to the reader, who is usually a child or young adult. While it is of course impossible to have read every piece of literature that can be classified as a robinsonade, in order to appreciate this collection it is important to note the common thread across these stories—the protagonist(s) being marooned on an island or islanded location, going through some sort of survival process that involves interaction with their milieu, and emerging as better versions of themselves. The traditional robinsonade integrates these elements with its Eurocentric, imperial-colonial values and advocates a specific kind of masculinity and individualism compatible with these values. The modern, 20th- Century and later robinsonades try to make use of the same plot points but to subvert and redress the ideological tendencies of the earlier narratives. The key to contextualizing all the chapters is to understand that didactic form of the robinsonade, where the child-reader and their reception of the text is vital. Kinane’s Introduction comprehensively explains the evolving views on the child-reader, and the generally-perceived importance of imparting on children the values and ideas at the core of society.
