More Details These essays were written individually by their respective theorists so there's bound to be some repetition regarding the post-mortem findings and the details of the murders and by the end you'll probably be very familiar with the individual murders. Cummulatively, they propose numerous possible identities, some already suggested by historians, others more speculative, including some famous names from history and fiction — even Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are on the case! For instance, the last one doesn't bother naming names - instead it opts to develop a labyrinthian theory that the Ripper did it all to bring about the end of the world based on ancient Sun Worship and magic numbers and This book contained mostly "factual" information about the Ripper murders, followed by conjecture and possible suspects.

  • <H1>The Lodger by Marie Belloc Lowndes</H1>
    The Lodger by Marie Belloc Lowndes The Lodger by Marie Belloc Lowndes The Lodger by Marie Belloc Lowndes "Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness." PSALM lxxxviii. 18 CHAPTER I Robert Bunting and Ellen his wife sat before their dully burning, carefully-banked-up fire. The room, especially when it be known that it was part of a house standing in a grimy, if not exactly sordid, London thoroughfare, was exceptionally clean and well-cared-for. A casual stranger, more particularly one of a Superior class to their own, on suddenly opening the door of that sitting-room; would have thought that Mr. page 1 / 387 and Mrs. Bunting presented a very pleasant cosy picture of comfortable married life. Bunting, who was leaning back in a deep leather arm-chair, was clean-shaven and dapper, still in appearance what he had been for many years of his life--a self-respecting man-servant. On his wife, now sitting up in an uncomfortable straight-backed chair, the marks of past servitude were less apparent; but they were there all the same--in her neat black stuff dress, and in her scrupulously clean, plain collar and cuffs. Mrs. Bunting, as a single woman, had been what is known as a useful maid. But peculiarly true of average English life is the time-worn English proverb as to appearances being deceitful. Mr. and Mrs. Bunting were sitting in a very nice room and in their time--how long ago it now seemed!--both husband and wife had been proud of their carefully chosen belongings.

    A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD: CULTURAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND THE MOBILIZATION OF MORALLY TAINTED CULTURAL RESOURCES Elena Dalpiaz Imperial College Business School Imperial College London South Kensington Campus London SW7 2AZ Tel: +44 (0)20 7594 1969 Email: [email protected] Valeria Cavotta Free University of Bolzano School of Economics and Management Piazza Università 1 39100 - Bozen-Bolzano Tel: +39.0471.013522 Email: [email protected] This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article forthcoming in "Innovation: Organization & Management”. 1 Abstract We aim to highlight a type of cultural entrepreneurship, which has received scant attention by prior scholarship, and consists in deploying morally tainted cultural resources, i.e., resources that some audiences assess as going against accepted principles of morality. We argue that this type of cultural entrepreneurship is a double-edged sword and explain how it may ignite active opposition of offended audiences, as well as attract supportive audiences. We delineate a research agenda to shed light on whether, how, and with what consequences cultural entrepreneurs navigate such a tension — in particular how they 1) mobilize morally tainted cultural resources and with what effect on offended audiences; 2) deal with the consequent legitimacy challenges; 3) transform moral taint into “coolness” to enhance their venture’s distinctiveness. Keywords: cultural entrepreneurship, morality, legitimacy, distinctiveness, cultural resources 2 Introduction Cultural entrepreneurship consists in the deployment of cultural resources to start up new ventures or pursue new market opportunities in established ventures (see Gehman & Soubliere, 2017 for a recent review). Cultural resources are meaning systems such as “stories, frames, categories, rituals, practices” and symbols that constitute the culture of a given societal group (Giorgi, Lockwood, & Glynn, 2015, 13).

  • Chapter 1 | the Leader’S Light Or Shadow 3 ©SAGE Publications Table 1.1 the Behaviors and Personal Characteristics of Toxic Leaders
    CHAPTER The Leader’s Light or 1 Shadow We know where light is coming from by looking at the shadows. —Humanities scholar Paul Woodruff What’s Ahead This chapter introduces the dark (bad, toxic) side of leadership as the first step in promoting good or ethical leadership. The metaphor of light and shadow drama- tizes the differences between moral and immoral leaders. Leaders have the power to illuminate the lives of followers or to cover them in darkness. They cast light when they master ethical challenges of leadership. They cast shadows when they (1) abuse power, (2) hoard privileges, (3) mismanage information, (4) act incon- sistently, (5) misplace or betray loyalties, and (6) fail to assume responsibilities. A Dramatic Difference/The Dark Side of Leadership In an influential essay titled “Leading From Within,” educational writer and consultant Parker Palmer introduces a powerful metaphor to dramatize the distinction between ethical and unethical leadership. According to Palmer, the difference between moral and immoral leaders is as sharp as the contrast between light and darkness, between heaven and hell: A leader is a person who has an unusual degree of power to create the conditions under which other people must live and move and have their being, conditions that can be either as illuminating as heaven or as shadowy as hell. A leader must take special responsibility for what’s going on inside his or her own self, inside his or her consciousness, lest the act of leadership create more harm than good.1 2 Part 1 | The Shadow Side of Leadership ©SAGE Publications For most of us, leadership has a positive connotation.

  • Psychogeography in Alan Moore's from Hell
    English History as Jack the Ripper Tells It: Psychogeography in Alan Moore’s From Hell Ann Tso (McMaster University, Canada) The Literary London Journal, Volume 15 Number 1 (Spring 2018) Abstract: Psychogeography is a visionary, speculative way of knowing. From Hell (2006), I argue, is a work of psychogeography, whereby Alan Moore re-imagines Jack the Ripper in tandem with nineteenth-century London. Moore here portrays the Ripper as a psychogeographer who thinks and speaks in a mystical fashion: as psychogeographer, Gull the Ripper envisions a divine and as such sacrosanct Englishness, but Moore, assuming the Ripper’s perspective, parodies and so subverts it. In the Ripper’s voice, Moore emphasises that psychogeography is personal rather than universal; Moore needs only to foreground the Ripper’s idiosyncrasies as an individual to disassemble the Grand Narrative of English heritage. Keywords: Alan Moore, From Hell, Jack the Ripper, Psychogeography, Englishness and Heritage ‘Hyper-visual’, ‘hyper-descriptive’—‘graphic’, in a word, the graphic novel is a medium to overwhelm the senses (see Di Liddo 2009: 17). Alan Moore’s From Hell confounds our sense of time, even, in that it conjures up a nineteenth-century London that has the cultural ambience of the eighteenth century. The author in question is wont to include ‘visual quotations’ (Di Liddo 2009: 450) of eighteenth- century cultural artifacts such as William Hogarth’s The Reward of Cruelty (see From Hell, Chapter Nine). His anti-hero, Jack the Ripper, is also one to flaunt his erudition in matters of the long eighteenth century, from its literati—William Blake, Alexander Pope, and Daniel Defoe—to its architectural ideal, which the works of Nicholas Hawksmoor supposedly exemplify.
