WE offer you this little volume as a memento of this year's Senior class, purposing to make it a reflec- tion of our High School life, replete with joys, yet not devoid of trials. The personal allusions, we hope will be re- ceived in the spirit in which they are intended, and if there are mistakes, we ask that the reader will overlook them, bearing in mind the fact that no similar publication has ever been issued from our school. We now commit the book to your kindness, trusting that it will not only find favor at the present time, but, on account of its associations, will constantly increase in value, and years hence serve as a pleasant reminder of "Auld Lang Syne".

  • Tourists As Post-Witnesses in Documentary Film: Sergei Loznitsa's
    Tourists as post-witnesses in documentary film: Sergei Loznitsa’s Austerlitz (2016) and Rex Bloomstein’s KZ (2006) OÑATI SOCIO-LEGAL SERIES VOLUME 10, ISSUE 3 (2020), 642-663: PRACTICES OF MEMORIALIZATION AND THE PROCESS OF SOCIAL RECONSTRUCTION DOI LINK: HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.35295/OSLS.IISL/0000-0000-0000-1045 RECEIVED 03 SEPTEMBER 2018, ACCEPTED 26 FEBRUARY 2019 DAVID CLARKE∗ Abstract This article compares two documentary films that address an apparent crisis of post-witnessing at memorials that commemorate the victims of National Socialism. In the context of contemporary debates about appropriate behaviour for tourists at sites of “dark” or “difficult” heritage, Sergei Loznitsa’s Austerlitz (2016) and Rex Bloomstein’s KZ (2006) take very different approaches to observing the act of visiting concentration camp memorials. Whereas Loznitsa adopts an observational documentary mode, constructing a cultural hierarchy between the touristic observer and the cinematic observer at memorials in Germany, Bloomstein’s film uses a participatory mode to prompt the viewer to consider the complexities of the affective-discursive practice of tourists engaging with the suffering of victims at the Mauthausen memorial in Austria. The article argues that Bloomstein’s decision to adopt a participatory approach is more productive in allowing us to think about the significance of responses to victims’ suffering at such sites. Key words Documentary; dark tourism; post-witnessing; Sergei Loznitsa; Rex Bloomstein; National Socialism Resumen Este artículo compara dos documentales que giran en torno a una aparente crisis del post-testimonio en monumentos a las víctimas del nacionalsocialismo. En el contexto del debate actual sobre cómo deben comportarse los turistas en lugares de herencia “oscura” o “difícil”, Austerlitz (2016), de Sergei Loznitsa, y KZ (2006), de Rex Bloomstein, observan de forma muy diferente el acto de visitar antiguos campos de concentración.

  • Hygiene, the Flow of Light, Air, Water and Waste Common Definitions Of
    253 Part Two: Hygiene, The Flow of Light, Air, Water and Waste Common definitions of hygiene connect practices of cleanliness with prevention of disease. In both English and French, the word links cleanliness and health in a normative way. This has three major consequences. First, hygiene does not only concern how individuals can be clean and healthy. It is also profoundly social or collective, concerned to preserve the living conditions of the population at large and steer social relations. Second, hygiene is heavily value-laden. Far from objective measures of what practices help prevent disease, hygienic rules and norms are bound up with aesthetics and morals. What is unclean is often considered profane, undesirable, ugly, dangerous, barbaric, backward, subhuman, etc.1 Third, since the Enlightenment, hygiene has been bound up with progress, modernization and reform. Like a society's level of technological development, its degree of conformity to “modern” principles of hygiene has become a common measure of civilization.2 Hygiene played a crucial role in the civilizing mission of imperialists, and remains central in the post-colonial field of 'development.' As a result of these moral, aesthetic, and political entanglements, hygienic principles can be (and often are) used to justify actions that go far beyond keeping clean and preventing disease. 1 Mary Douglas, Purity and Danger: an Analysis of Concepts of Pollution and Taboo 2nd Ed.
