Carlin UNDERGRADUATE THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF UNDERGRADUATE DEPARTMENTAL HONORS DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH, ALONG WITH THE HONORS COLLEGE, EASTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY CHARLESTON, ILLINOIS 2018 YEAR I HEREBY RECOMMEND THIS UNDERGRADUATE THESIS BE ACCEPTED AS FULFILLING THE THESIS REQUIREMENT FOR UNDERGRADUATE DEPARTMENTAL HONORS DATE 'fHESISADVISOR DATE H6NORS COORDINATOR Carlin 2 Introduction to Thesis In a recent interview on CONAN, the Chicago comedian Kyle Kinane shared his opinion regarding the relationship between white privilege and the existence of ghosts. Kinane joked that he thinks "the only people who believe in poltergeists are people who don't have any real-world problems," and following that statement, he states that believing in ghosts and engaging in paranormal culture is stereotypically "white" (0:39-1:20). The parallel drawn between daily life andthe topic of race is referredto as privilege, and Kinane insinuates that white privilege leaves an individual with a significant amount of free time and resources to engage in seemingly illogical beliefs, such as ghosts; however, ghost hunting reality television lends itself to more thanboredom, as it is a new and exciting genre specific to the 21st century. In this thesis, ghost hunting reality television is explored and recognized as a cultural artifact. Born from the combination of secular methodology, religion, and technology, an unlikely and obscure genre explodes from obscurity to popular culture to such a degree that tier one celebrities, such as Post Malone, guest star on longstanding ghost hunting reality show Ghost Adventures (2008-present).

  • Linger: Searching for Ghostly Justice in American History]

Peter Buse and Andrew Scott, Ghosts: Deconstruction, Psychoanalysis, History, p. 2 You know the stories: the building constructed above an Indian burial ground plagued by desecrated spirits, the historic plantation, preserved yet spiritually unrested because of the horrors it knows, soldiers haunting formerly bloodied battlefields who might never know peace. Their lingering has meaning: the ghost collapses time and history into a traversable, nearly tangible, fantastical continuum that begs exploration. The ghost is an entity capable of moving through life and death, reality and fantasy, past and present, providing a fragmented yet panoramic version of how things happened. Precisely because ghosts have this mobility, they should be considered an important part of American history and history making. Their sometimes-invisible though eerily tangible presence in life and literature beckons inquiry into the more repressed and obscure facets of social and historical life, which are difficult to discuss and impossible to understand without this unique flexibility.

Beard Doctor of Philosophy Department of English June 2012 Title: Horror Begins at Home: Family Trauma in Paranormal Reality TV This dissertation argues that paranormal reality television is a form of what some have referred to as “trauma television,” a site of struggle between meanings of family and the violence often found in the hegemonic nuclear family ideal. Programs such as A Haunting and Paranormal State articulate family violence and trauma through a paranormal presence in the heteronormative family home, working to make strange and unfamiliar the domestic and familial milieus in which their episodes take place.

This study explores these changes, which have yielded both positive and negative cultural and developmental outcomes, as products of digital dissonance. Dissonance is characterized by the disruptive consequences inherent in technology’s incursion into the print publication cultures of the twentieth century, the explosion in social-media interaction that is changing the complexion of human contact, and our expanding reliance on the World Wide Web for negotiating commerce, culture, and communication.

  • I Acknowledgements There Are So Many People I'd Like to Thank For
    Acknowledgements There are so many people I’d like to thank for their contribution to this thesis, that unfortunately I don’t have the room to list them all. If someone feels they are left out, you are by no means forgotten. At first I would like to express my gratitude towards the academic milieu. My supervisor Tord Larsen whose knowledge and theoretical insights I simply couldn’t be without; and my fellow students for their invaluable feedback, as well as emotional support over countless cups of coffee. I’d also like to give credit to Ellen, Johanne and Linn for taking their time to look for grammatical errors. Moreover I want to direct my gratitude towards “my” ghost hunter groups: California Haunts, The Flying Monkeys, P.R.O.V.E. and Solano Ghost; and their respective organizers who were so friendly to treat me as a worthy member of the ghost hunter community. I’ve had some unique moments with these groups, to the extent of which I will likely never have again. Moreover, I’d like to thank my friends in the field, for taking interest in my project, for offering transportation, for interesting conversations, for their friendliness; and overall, for letting me into their lives, their homes and their minds. Special thanks goes to those who went out of their way to introduce me to the “world of ghosts”; Susan for all of our adventures, the girls of California Haunts for taking me to special events, Tracy for graveyards and curly fries, John for the trip to the bookstore, and Donald for being so helpful when I began my project.

    UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER FACULTY OF ARTS The Re-Enchantment of British Culture and the Transformation of Spiritualism from Theological Discourse to Media Spectacle David Lloyd Woollatt Doctor of Philosophy November 2015 This thesis has been completed as a requirement for a higher degree of the University of Winchester THE UNIVERSITY OF WINCHESTER ABSTRACT FOR THESIS The Enchantment of British Culture and the Transformation of Spiritualism from Theological Discourse to Media Spectacle David Lloyd Woollatt FACULTY OF ARTS Doctor of Philosophy October 2015 This research constitutes the analysis of a previously unstudied area, the transformation of Spiritualism from a theological belief system to a media spectacle in contemporary British culture. Exploring modern Spiritualism’s theological framework, pointing to its communal belief structure, practices and Seven-Principle doctrine this research articulates its position within society today, exploring notions of re-enchantment where the contemporary individual has become disconnected from formal religious institutions but still possesses a yearning for spiritual nourishment. During early forms of Spiriualism a first-person genuine experience was fundamental to the way in which the spectators framed meaning around what they were viewing. The loss of first person aspect provides a fundamental stance from which to interrogate the shifts that have occurred to Spiritualism as a result of its contemporary representations. Critically the study examines the representation of Spiritualism within the
