I made every maternity dress in my wardrobe and many of your toddler dresses. Didn’t you know that?” Jessica Steed, Heather Sundahl, Page Turner, and Brooke PROOFREADING EDITOR Williams No. I didn’t. Besides the (pretty amazing) Cinderella costume my mother made for me one Halloween, I hadn’t paid attention to my Emily Mosdell mother’s sewing skills. By the time I would have been old enough to notice, my parents were running a business, and the sewing machine was packed away in a closet. My two sisters and I only ever learned how to sew a straight line. AWAKENINGS EDITOR EXECUTIVE BOARD: Mary B. Johnston President Treasurer Secretary When I asked my mom why she never taught her children to sew, she remarked that she hadn’t really thought about it but also that it wasn’t Kirsten Campbell Suzette Smith Brooke Williams as necessary a skill as it had once been. Moreover, my mother, a cowgirl, artist, and entrepreneur, understood the ways that this particular SISTERS SPEAK EDITOR Caroline Kline skill could be used to reinforce expectations of feminine domesticity she had resisted.

Lisa Hadley Barbara Taylor Thinking about what was and wasn’t passed on to me from previous generations stirs me to examine my own parenting. Of specific concern SABBATH PASTORALS EDITOR are the religious beliefs and practices I offer or withhold in my own children’s spiritual development. Although I cherish my Mormon EMERITUS BOARD: Amanda Olson identity and particular Mormon teachings, my membership in this church has also been a source of frustration and disappointment in my Cheryl DiVito, Nancy Dredge, Judy Dushku, life. As a spiritual exercise, I ask myself nearly weekly why I am a Mormon, and honestly, some weeks, I just don’t know. How, when there POETRY EDITOR Laurel !atcher Ulrich Judith Curtis are so many days when I’m not sure why I stay, can I pass this tradition on to my own children? And should I? This crisis comes to a head every time one of my children turns eight, and this February it is my son Ezekiel’s turn.As is custom in many LDS homes, there has been a lot of talk about baptism as we approach this birthday. But perhaps dissimilar to some of those LDS parents, I find myself feeling trepidation about this event. Initiating my children into the Church which simultaneously blesses and maddens me is the source of a lot of my parental guilt.

  • Ecstatic Melancholic: Ambivalence, Electronic Music and Social Change Around the Fall of the Berlin Wall
    Ecstatic Melancholic: Ambivalence, Electronic Music and Social Change around the Fall of the Berlin Wall Ben Gook The Cold War’s end infused electronic music in Berlin after 1989 with an ecstatic intensity. Enthused communities came together to live out that energy and experiment in conditions informed by past suffering and hope for the future. This techno-scene became an ‘intimate public’ (Berlant) within an emergent ‘structure of feeling’ (Williams). Techno parties held out a promise of freedom while Germany’s re-unification quickly broke into disputes and mutual suspicion. Tracing the historical movement during the first years of re-unified Germany, this article adds to accounts of ecstasy by considering it in conjunction with melancholy, arguing for an ambivalent description of ecstatic experience – and of emotional life more broadly. Keywords: German re-unification, electronic dance music, structure of feeling, intimate publics, ambivalence. Everybody was happy Ecstasy shining down on me ... I’m raving, I’m raving But do I really feel the way I feel?1 In Germany around 1989, techno music coursed through a population already energised by the Fall of the Berlin Wall. The years 1989 and 1990 were optimistic for many in Germany and elsewhere. The Cold War’s end heralded a conclusion to various deadlocks. Young Germans acutely felt this release from stasis and rushed to the techno-scene.2 Similar scenes also flourished in neighbouring European countries, the United States and Britain around the 1 ‘Raving I’m Raving,’ Shut up and Dance (UK: Shut Up and Dance Records, 1992), vinyl.

Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December 2019 i Abstract B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the neXt few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of eXpertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and eXciting period of Mormon history.

  • Stories from General Conference PRIESTHOOD POWER, VOL. 2
    Episode 27 Stories from General Conference PRIESTHOOD POWER, VOL. 2 NARRATOR: This is Stories from General Conference, volume two, on the topic of Priesthood Power. You are listening to the Mormon Channel. Worthy young men in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have the privilege of receiving the Aaronic Priesthood. This allows them to belong to a quorum where they learn to serve and administer in some of the ordinances of the Church. In the April 1997 General Priesthood Meeting, Elder David B. Haight reminisced about his youth and how the priesthood helped him progress. (Elder David B. Haight, Priesthood Session, April 1997) “Those of you who are young today--and I'm thinking of the deacons who are assembled in meetings throughout the world--I remember when I was ordained a deacon by Bishop Adams. He took the place of my father when he died. My father baptized me, but he wasn't there when I received the Aaronic Priesthood. I remember the thrill that I had when I became a deacon and now held the priesthood, as they explained to me in a simple way and simple language that I had received the power to help in the organization and the moving forward of the Lord's program upon the earth. We receive that as 12-year-old boys. We go through those early ranks of the lesser priesthood--a deacon, a teacher, and then a priest--learning little by little, here a little and there a little, growing in knowledge and wisdom. That little testimony that you start out with begins to grow, and you see it magnifying and you see it building in a way that is understandable to you.

  • On Mourning Sickness
    Missed Revolutions, Non-Revolutions, Revolutions to Come: On Mourning Sickness An Encounter with: Rebecca Comay. Mourning Sickness: Hegel and the French Revolution. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2011. 224 pages. REBECCA COMAY in Conversation with JOSHUA NICHOLS Rebecca Comay’s new book Mourning Sickness sets its sights on Hegel’s response to the French Revolutionary Terror. In this respect it provides the reader with both a detailed examination of Hegel’s interpretation of the Terror and the historical and philosophical context of this interpretation. In and of itself this would be a valuable contribution to the history of philosophy in general and Hegel studies in particular, but Comay’s book extends beyond the confines of a historical study. It explores Hegel’s struggle with the meaning of the Terror and, as such, it explores the general relationship between event and meaning. By doing so this book forcefully draws Hegel into present-day discussions of politics, violence, trauma, witness, and memory. The following interview took place via email correspondence. The overall aim is twofold: to introduce the main themes of the book and to touch on some of its contemporary implications. JOSHUA NICHOLS: This text accomplishes the rare feat of revisiting what is, in many respects, familiar and well-worn philosophical terrain (i.e., Hegel’s Phenomenology) and brings the reader to see the text from a new angle, under a different light, almost as if for the first time. PhaenEx 7, no. 1 (spring/summer 2012): 309-346 © 2012 Rebecca Comay and Joshua Nichols - 310 - PhaenEx Your reading of Hegel’s notion of forgiveness as being “as hyperbolic as anything in Derrida, as asymmetrical as anything in Levinas, as disastrous as anything in Blanchot, as paradoxical as anything in Kierkegaard” is just one example of the surprising interpretive possibilities that this text opens (Comay, Mourning Sickness 135).

Abstract Dark tourism is a youngest subset of tourism, introduced only in 1990s. It is a multifaceted and diverse phenomenon. Dark tourism studies carried out in the Western countries succinctly portrays dark tourism as a study of history and heritage, tourism and tragedies.

As an umbrella concept dark tourism includes than tourism, blackspot tourism, morbid tourism, disaster tourism, conflict tourism, dissonant heritage tourism and others. This paper examines how dark tourism as a distinct form of tourism came into existence in the tourism academia and how it could be understood as a separate subset of tourism in better way. Basically, this study focuses on deathscapes, repressed sadism, commercialization of grief, commoditization of death, dartainment, blackpackers, darsumers and deathseekers capitalism. This study generates curiosity among the readers and researchers to understand and explore the concepts and values of dark tourism in a better way.
