  • Jack the Ripper: the Divided Self and the Alien Other in Late-Victorian Culture and Society
    Jack the Ripper: The Divided Self and the Alien Other in Late-Victorian Culture and Society Michael Plater Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 18 July 2018 Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines late nineteenth-century public and media representations of the infamous “Jack the Ripper” murders of 1888. Focusing on two of the most popular theories of the day – Jack as exotic “alien” foreigner and Jack as divided British “gentleman” – it contends that these representations drew upon a series of emergent social and cultural anxieties in relation to notions of the “self” and the “other.” Examining the widespread contention that “no Englishman” could have committed the crimes, it explores late-Victorian conceptions of Englishness and documents the way in which the Ripper crimes represented a threat to these dominant notions of British identity and masculinity. In doing so, it argues that late-Victorian fears of the external, foreign “other” ultimately masked deeper anxieties relating to the hidden, unconscious, instinctual self and the “other within.” Moreover, it reveals how these psychological concerns were connected to emergent social anxieties regarding degeneration, atavism and the “beast in man.” As such, it evaluates the wider psychological and sociological impact of the case, arguing that the crimes revealed the deep sense of fracture, duality and instability that lay beneath the surface of late-Victorian English life, undermining and challenging dominant notions of progress, civilisation and social advancement. Situating the Ripper narrative within a broader framework of late-nineteenth century cultural uncertainty and crisis, it therefore argues that the crimes (and, more specifically, populist perceptions of these crimes) represented a key defining moment in British history, serving to condense and consolidate a whole series of late-Victorian fears in relation to selfhood and identity.

    Spirits Jesus on the Turin shroud Jesus on the Turin shroud The Catholic Church has neither formally endorsed nor rejected the shroud, but in 1958 Pope Pius XII approved of the image in association with the devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus. Pope John Paul II called the Shroud "a mirror of the Gospel". Other Christian denominations, such as Anglicans and Methodists, have also shown devotion to the Shroud of Turin.

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE Society for Psychical Resea PART lo^—DECEMBER, 1927 LIBRARY CATALOGUE COMPILED BY THEODORE BESTERMAN HONORARY LIBRARIAN PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY ROBERT MACLEHOSE AND CO. LTD. THE UNIVERSITY PRESS GLASGOW ; PKEFACE The Society's Library has been completely re-organised during the past year. The books have been arranged on the shelves by subject and date, many useless ones having been turned out ; the important collection of pamphlets has been classified and boimd, as have been several hundred books •"^w bookcases have been fitted and, finally, the present ; catalogue has been compiled on a detailed and luiiform plan. During the next few years the Library can anticipate a further and considerable increase in usefulness : the result of a generous grant of £250 a year for four years made by the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust for the purchase of books and the Uke. At the end of this period those borrowing works, or consulting them in the Society's Rooms, wiU have at their disposal a thoroughly representative collection of books, pamphlets and periodicals on psychical research and on the neighbouring departments of psychology and philosophy. This development wiU involve, for some time, a great many changes in the disposition of the books on the shelves. For this reason the press-marks have not been printed in the present catalogue, and it is therefore at present impos- sible, without reference to the Library itself, to distinguish those books which are available for reference only, and not for borrowing. Such books are kept in cases 11 and 12 and on shelves i.

    FRANCESCA SCARRICA LA SCIENZA CHE HA DIMOSTRATO L’ALDILA’ 87 fra scienziati e brillanti ricercatori che hanno dimostrato la realtà della sopravvivenza dell’anima alla morte fisica 2008 © 2008 Francesca Scarrica E' vietata la riproduzione totale o parziale dei testi senza il consenso scritto dell'autore. ISBN 978-1-4092-0493-0 2 A tutti quegli scienziati coraggiosi e ai ricercatori appassionati che hanno dato il loro prezioso contributo alla ricerca delle prove dell’esistenza dell’aldilà 3 4 Introduzione Questo libro nasce da un apparente paradosso che, “nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita”, mi sono ritrovata a dover affrontare e risolvere per poter continuare a vivere un’esistenza nella quale ci fosse ancora spazio per concetti fondamentali quali la speranza e la gioia. Sono consapevole che questo tipo di percorso sia comune a tutti gli esseri umani che, prima o poi, si trovano a doversi porre le eterne questioni che riguardano la morte ed il modo di inquadrarla in una prospettiva che la possa rendere in qualche modo accettabile nella nostra concezione della vita e del mondo. Difatti quando perdiamo una persona cara tutti noi siamo costretti, volenti o nolenti, ad intraprendere quella fase incerta e dolorosa che gli psicologi chiamano “elaborazione del lutto”, un percorso difficile che la maggioranza di noi compie nella solitudine del proprio intimo, spesso senza riuscire a trovare il giusto supporto per alleviare il doloroso senso di perdita e affidandosi per lo più al tempo che passa considerandolo, come recita un vecchio detto, “un gran dottore”. Ma il rischio reale è che, col tempo, oltre al dolore, passi anche la voglia di vivere e di riamare.

  • SPIRITUALISM the Past, the Present and the Future?
    SPIRITUALISM The Past, The Present and The Future? Stewart Alexander Introduction My deep involvement in Spiritualism may be traced back almost fifty years, during which time I have gradually amassed an extensive library of books, cassette and CD recordings plus various Spiritual paraphernalia. Amongst the collection are long out-of-print Spiritualist and Psychical Research books and also recordings of elderly Spiritualists (most of whom have since have departed this earth) recollecting their past séance room experiences with Physical mediums who today we can only read about. Additionally, I am the proud possessor of such items as Mrs Maud Gunning’s one time celluloid séance room trumpet. Although a powerful Physical medium, she was in many ways a private medium whose name rarely came before the public, so that sadly her wonderful séance room manifestations are largely unknown to present day Spiritualists. In respect of the fascinating experience recordings in my possession, they have now sat on my library shelves for (in most instances) well over 20 years, during which time doubtlessly they have sadly deteriorated. However, in recent times, I have determined to preserve them whilst there is still time. Therefore the long process of transferring them onto CD has begun, and for that I am greatly indebted to several of my aquaintances who, with the necessary equipment, kindly undertook the task on my behalf. Once completed, various extracts were selected and then grouped together onto ‘Compilation’ CD’s which are now available to Spiritualists and all other interested parties. For anyone interested in the Physical phenomena of the Séance room, those accounts may well transcend the ‘boggle factor’ and will perhaps convey to the listener the reason why the Spiritualist movement was once so very vibrant and progressive.

  • Reading List Below Is a Reading List I Compiled That Is Very Helpful When Trying to Understand the Afterlife
    Reading List Below is a reading list I compiled that is very helpful when trying to understand the afterlife. This includes academic studies, near-death experiences, automatic writings that give magnificent and detailed descriptions of the spirit world, reincarnation, mediumship, stories and experiences of mediums, and so much more. This list begins from an academic and scientific approach, moves on to automatic writings from spirit and works its way through mediums and other experts. I’ve also tried to arrange the list and each section in a way that hopefully facilitates ease of understanding. Please understand this list barely scratches the surface for all the excellent research and publications available on afterlife studies. I strongly urge the reader to explore all the available material on this topic (much more on the internet too). Good reading.

This age, span‐ ning from 1837 to 1901 and encompassing most of the nineteenth century, is known by her name. Victorianism over the years has come to imply rigid so‐ cial conduct, strict sexual morality, strong family values and simple religious faith. However, if these values were taken in sum as requirements, no one‐‐least of all Victoria herself‐‐could be con‐ sidered Victorian. Partial to whiskey in her tea rather than milk or cream, Queen Victoria was a self‐proclaimed lib‐ eral who spent her life destroying racial barriers, whether by ennobling the Jewish Benjamin Dis‐ raeli to become Lord Beaconsfield or by creating special titles for her Munshi and other members of her Hindu staff.
