Little research exists on listener’s perception of EVPs to date. The field of speech science involves the study of the production, transmission, and perception of human speech. Many concrete elements from the study of speech science have the potential to be applied to the interpretation of EVP content. Several works of literature were reviewed to assess current EVP analysis practices Interviews were conducted with various paranormal investigation societies across the nation to gather information on the general practices involved in EVP collection, analysis, interpretation, and use.

  • Meet the Gilded Lady 2 Mummies Now Open
    Member Magazine Spring 2017 Vol. 42 No. 2 Mummies meet the gilded lady 2 mummies now open Seeing Inside Today, computerized inside of mummies, revealing CT scans of the Gilded Lady tomography (CT) scanning details about the person’s reveal that she was probably offers researchers glimpses age, appearance, and health. in her forties. They also suggest of mummified individuals “Scans like these are noninvasive, that she may have suffered like never before. By combining they’re repeatable, and they from tuberculosis, a common thousands of cross-sectioned can be done without damaging disease at the time. x-ray images, CT scans let the history that we’re trying researchers examine the to understand,” Thomas says. Mummy #30007, known as the Gilded Lady, is one of the most beautifully preserved mummies from The Field Museum’s collection, and one of 19 now on view in the special exhibition Mummies. For decades, keeping mummies like this one well preserved also meant severely limiting the ability of researchers to study them. The result is that little was known about the Gilded Lady beyond what could be gleaned from the mummy’s exterior, with its intricate linen bindings, gilded headdress, and painted facial features. Exterior details do offer some clues. The mummy dates from 30 BC–AD 395, a period when Egypt was a province of the Roman Empire. While the practice of mummification endured in Egypt, it was being transformed by Roman influences. Before the Roman era, for example, mummies had been placed in wooden coffins, while the Gilded Lady is preserved in only linen wrappings and cartonnage, a papier mâché-like material.

  • Cinematic Ghosts: Haunting and Spectrality from Silent Cinema to the Digital Era
    Cinematic Ghosts: Haunting and Spectrality from Silent Cinema to the Digital Era. Edited by Murray Leeder. Bloomsbury Academic, 2015 (307 pages). Anton Karl Kozlovic Murray Leeder’s exciting new book sits comfortably alongside The Haunted Screen: Ghosts in Literature & Film (Kovacs), Ghost Images: Cinema of the Afterlife (Ruffles), Dark Places: The Haunted House in Film (Curtis), Popular Ghosts: The Haunted Spaces of Everyday Culture (Blanco and Peeren), The Spectralities Reader: Ghost and Haunting in Contemporary Cultural Theory (Blanco and Peeren), The Ghostly and the Ghosted in Literature and Film: Spectral Identities (Kröger and Anderson), and The Spectral Metaphor: Living Ghosts and the Agency of Invisibility (Peeren) amongst others. Within his Introduction Leeder claims that “[g]hosts have been with cinema since its first days” (4), that “cinematic double exposures, [were] the first conventional strategy for displaying ghosts on screen” (5), and that “[c]inema does not need to depict ghosts to be ghostly and haunted” (3). However, despite the above-listed texts and his own reference list (9–10), Leeder somewhat surprisingly goes on to claim that “this volume marks the first collection of essays specifically about cinematic ghosts” (9), and that the “principal focus here is on films featuring ‘non-figurative ghosts’—that is, ghosts supposed, at least diegetically, to be ‘real’— in contrast to ‘figurative ghosts’” (10). In what follows, his collection of fifteen essays is divided across three main parts chronologically examining the phenomenon. Part One of the book is devoted to the ghosts of precinema and silent cinema. In Chapter One, “Phantom Images and Modern Manifestations: Spirit Photography, Magic Theater, Trick Films, and Photography’s Uncanny”, Tom Gunning links “Freud’s uncanny, the hope to use modern technology to overcoming [sic] death or contact the afterlife, and the technologies and practices that led to cinema” (10).

  • Mirrorshade Women: Feminism and Cyberpunk
    Mirrorshade Women: Feminism and Cyberpunk at the Turn of the Twenty-first Century Carlen Lavigne McGill University, Montréal Department of Art History and Communication Studies February 2008 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communication Studies © Carlen Lavigne 2008 2 Abstract This study analyzes works of cyberpunk literature written between 1981 and 2005, and positions women’s cyberpunk as part of a larger cultural discussion of feminist issues. It traces the origins of the genre, reviews critical reactions, and subsequently outlines the ways in which women’s cyberpunk altered genre conventions in order to advance specifically feminist points of view. Novels are examined within their historical contexts; their content is compared to broader trends and controversies within contemporary feminism, and their themes are revealed to be visible reflections of feminist discourse at the end of the twentieth century. The study will ultimately make a case for the treatment of feminist cyberpunk as a unique vehicle for the examination of contemporary women’s issues, and for the analysis of feminist science fiction as a complex source of political ideas. Cette étude fait l’analyse d’ouvrages de littérature cyberpunk écrits entre 1981 et 2005, et situe la littérature féminine cyberpunk dans le contexte d’une discussion culturelle plus vaste des questions féministes. Elle établit les origines du genre, analyse les réactions culturelles et, par la suite, donne un aperçu des différentes manières dont la littérature féminine cyberpunk a transformé les usages du genre afin de promouvoir en particulier le point de vue féministe.

  • The Figure of the Vampire Has Been Inextricably Linked to the History Of
    ENTERTEXT From Pathology to Invisibility: The Discourse of Ageing in Vampire Fiction Author: Marta Miquel-Baldellou Source: EnterText, “Special Issue on Ageing and Fiction,” 12 (2014): 95-114. Abstract A diachronic analysis of the way the literary vampire has been characterised from the Victorian era to the contemporary period underlines a clear evolution which seems especially relevant from the perspective of ageing studies. One of the permanent features characterising the fictional vampire from its origins to its contemporary manifestations in literature is precisely the vampire’s disaffection with the effects of ageing despite its actual old age. Nonetheless, even though the vampire no longer ages in appearance, the way it has been presented has significantly evolved from a remarkable aged appearance during the Victorian period through Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla (1872) or Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) to outstanding youth in Anne Rice’s An Interview with the Vampire (1976), adolescence in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight (2005), and even childhood in John Ajvide Lindquist’s Let The Right One In (2007), thus underlining a significant process of rejuvenation despite the vampire’s acknowledged old age. This paper shows how the representations of the vampire in the arts, mainly literature and cinema, reflect a shift from the embodiment of pathology to the invisibility, or the denial, of old age. 95 | The Discourse of Ageing in Vampire Fiction From Pathology to Invisibility: The Discourse of Ageing in Vampire Fiction Marta Miquel-Baldellou Ageing and vampire fiction The figure of the vampire has been inextricably linked to the history of humanity since ancient and classical times as an embodiment of fear, otherness, evil and the abject.

  • VAMPIRE BATS – the Good, the Bad, and the Amazing
    Exhibit Dates: May 2014 - January 2015 VAMPIRE BATS – The Good, the Bad, and the Amazing Vampire bats are sanguivores, organisms that feed upon the blood of other animals. They are the only mammals that feed exclusively on blood. Despite horror-movie depictions, vampire bats very rarely bite humans to feed on their blood. They feed primarily on domestic livestock, due to their abundance, and to a lesser degree on wild mammals and birds. They are very small animals, with wingspans of about 12-15 inches, and weigh less than 2 ounces. SPECIES AND DISTRIBUTIONS Three species of vampire bats are recognized. Vampire bats occur in warm climates in both arid and humid regions of Mexico, Central America, and South America. Distribution of the three species of vampire bats. Common Vampire Bat (Desmodus rotundus) This species is the most abundant and most well-known of the vampire bats. Desmodus feeds mainly on mammals, particularly livestock. They occur from northern Mexico southward through Central America and much of South America, to Uruguay, northern Argentina, and central Chile, and on the island of Trinidad in the West Indies. Common vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus. White-winged Vampire Bat (Diaemus youngi) This species feeds mainly on the blood of birds. They occur from Mexico to southern Argentina and are present on the islands of Trinidad and Isla Margarita. White-winged vampire bat, Diaemus youngi. Hairy-legged Vampire Bat (Diphylla ecaudata) This species also feeds mainly on the blood of birds. They occur from Mexico to Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. One specimen was collected in 1967 from an abandoned railroad tunnel in Val Verde County, Texas.
