  • Fracchia Umd 0117E 15193.Pdf (9.069Mb)
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: LABORING IN STONE: THE URBANIZATION OF CAPITAL IN THE QUARRY TOWN OF TEXAS, MARYLAND, AND ITS EFFECTS, 1840 TO 1940 Adam D. Fracchia, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation directed by: Professor Stephen A. Brighton Department of Anthropology Capitalism is founded on the unequal relationship between capital and labor, a relationship that along with the expansion and accumulation of capital and labor power has come to influence everyday life and values. The quarry town of Texas, in Baltimore County, Maryland, offers an opportunity to explore this important relationship between labor and capital. Established in the mid-nineteenth century to quarry and burn limestone at a time of expanding industry and an expanding nation. The town was created to house the workers, primarily Irish immigrants and later African Americans hired to toil in this hazardous industry, and a community was formed and eventually destroyed. This study examines the logic and process of capitalism, drawing on David Harvey’s theoretization of the urbanization of capital to understand how life at Texas was influenced by capitalism. The role of and changes to the quarry industry’s operations are studied along with their impact on life in Texas and how industry aligned social relations in town to facilitate capitalism through the manipulation of material culture and space. Through an analysis of the built landscape and artifacts of everyday life, such as ceramic tableware and smoking pipes, in their social context, daily interactions can be studied within a wider framework and scale. Studying Texas in this manner demonstrates the utility and necessity of using a totalizing approach, as suggested by Harvey, to examine capitalism in historical archaeology.

  • Your Mother Is Calling!
    GO! Your Mother is Calling! JOHN M. HAFFERT Why This Book? Why GO? Where? The Pope says it all! Places o f pilgrimage, statues, and pilgrimages are all means which the Church and popular piety offer us so that, with their help, we can deepen our own personal spiritual lives our prayer and union with God and the saints, and make our daily Christian witness fruitful. Fatima (like some other great Marian shrines) is made more holy by the apparitions o f God’s Mother, through which she herself chose this place for her sanctuary. Here she is especially dose to the desires and needs of people, and approaches God’s throne with her power­ ful intercession on behalf of all those who turn to her in a faithfilled and trusting visit to this special place o f graces. At the same time Mary addresses her “ Message of Fatima” to all pilgrims, her urgent invitation to penance and conversion, and to ceaseless prayer for the conversion of sinners and the world, which today more than ever is in need of God’s mercy and forgiveness. Do not let this pilgrimage to Fatima be a passing event, which ends with your return home. Rather, make this pilgrimage a new beginning fo r your spiritual life. Continue what you began again in Fatima in your per­ sonal, family, and social life. Continue your interior prayer to the Mother of God, asking for the grace of penance and conversion for yourselves, and for all peo­ ple and nations. — Pope John Paul II Address to German Pilgrimage to Fatima in special au­ dience, May 3, 1986 (Osservatore Romano).

    The article was first published in October 2008 in: Festschrift Tuukka Talvio, Scripta varia numismatico Tuukka Talvio sexagenario dedicata, Suomen Numismaattinen Yhdistys 6 (Publications of the Finnish numismatic Society, no. 6) Aimo Linkosalmi (ed.), Helsinki 2008, pp. 201-223. This is mainly an unaltered edition, with only a few minor corrections as of January 5th 2009. All illustrated medals belong to the collection of medals at the University Museum in Bergen, photographed by the museum photographer Svein Skare. Modern and Contemporary Religious Medals and Medallic Art Henrik von Achen ‘Was es zu sehen gilt, ist das Aufgenommensein göttlicher Offenbarung in den Schoss des durch die Gnade der Offenbarung selbst erwirkten menschlichen Glaubens; von diesem Schoss will sie aufgenommen, getragen, zur Welt gebracht werden’. Hans Urs von Balthasar, in Schau der Gestalt , 1961. 1 The present text endeavours to offer a brief survey of the various categories of religious medals and religious medallic art since the 1960s. In this context, the term ‘religious’ is synonymous with ‘Christian’ (with a single exception), and within Christianity mainly, if not exclusively, synonymous with ‘Catholic’. The traditional concept of religious medals is – and must be – widened to include medallic art which is religious in the sense that a relation to faith and religion is articulated by employment of an individual iconography and a title, or by elements from the established Christian iconography. While traditional religious medals, the numismata sacra 2, have a very long history, indeed – almost as long as Christianity itself – the latter group of medallic art or objects is by and large a modern phenomenon.

In this period early medieval settlements in our region were fortified. The area has been inhabited since ancient times, testified by the presence of the Torricella fortification, in close proximity to Montegabbione, of the Murale hillock, in the vicinity of Montegiove, and of the hillock of the cross at Castel di fiori. These are settlements that, according to some archaeological studies conducted, can be dated to the Bronze Age. Finds from Etruscan, Roman and Late Imperial times are indicative of continuous habitation of our area. Researchers mark the beginning of the occupation of Montegabbione at the end of the first millennium, for reasons still unknown for certain but assume the displacement of the population for defensive reasons to higher points like the tops of the hills of Montegabbione, Montegiove and Castel di Fiori. However, there is no certain information about the date of the foundation of the castle and the fortified village of Montegabbione, but it is likely to be dated to the 11th century.
