AbstractThis article re-evaluates the historical research on the carnivalesque rituals that arrived in Van Diemen’s Land (VDL) with British convicts, their colonial minders and free settlers. The revaluation deploys more theoretically informed understandings of carnivalesque ritual (using Bakhtin, Zemon Davis, le Roy Ladurie, Bristol, Underdown, Durston and others), coupled with more recent historical understandings of carnivalesque ritual in Britain at the time of convict transportation and new evidence on how carnivalesque ritual specific to VDL responded to changes in penal policy and practice. It is argued that carnivalesque rituals persisted as a means for building social solidarity, belonging, cultural-political expression and resilience.KEYWORDS: Carnivalesque ritualsconvictsVan Diemen’s landTasmaniatheatrepubsfestival Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

摘要本文重新评价了随着英国罪犯、殖民地看守人和自由定居者抵达范·迪门斯地(VDL)的狂欢节仪式的历史研究。重新评估部署了对狂欢节仪式的更有理论依据的理解(使用巴赫金、泽蒙·戴维斯、勒罗伊·拉杜里、布里斯托尔、Underdown、Durston等人),加上对囚犯运输时期英国狂欢节仪式的更近期的历史理解,以及关于VDL特有的狂欢节仪式如何响应刑罚政策和实践变化的新证据。有人认为,狂欢式的仪式作为一种建立社会团结、归属感、文化政治表达和恢复力的手段而持续存在。关键词:狂欢节式仪式;罪犯;范·迪门斯的土地;;;;;Hindmarsh,《啤酒》,Citation1999,第150页;Damousi,《堕落》,Citation1997, 59-62;Atkinson,“四种模式”,引文1979,48 - 50.2。Hindmarsh,《啤酒》,Citation1999,第150页;达菲尔德和布拉德利,<为罪犯辩护>,《引文》1997年第113-17.3页。科林森,《快乐的英格兰》,Citation2001, 141-6;Durston, <清教规则>,《引文》1996,218;Storch,“坚持与改变”,《引文》1982,第3.4页。约翰斯顿,《糟糕》,Citation2016, 4.5。海,《犯罪与司法》,Citation1980,第45-50页;尼古拉斯,“罪犯工人”,Citation1988, 62-65;麦肯齐,丑闻,引文,2004,1-2.6。麦克斯韦-斯图尔特和昆兰,《不自由》,Citation2022, 59.7页。Durston, <清教规则>引文,1996,222-233.8。罗伯茨,《结》,Citation2011, 48-50页;Tuffin et al.,“Landscapes”,Citation2018, 51;麦克斯韦-斯图尔特和昆兰,“不自由”,Citation2022, 55-84.9。Zemon戴维斯、文化、社会、Citation1978 1 - 10.10。巴赫金,拉伯雷,引文,1984,218.11。布里斯托尔,《嘉年华与剧场》,Citation1983, 640.12。Storch,“坚持与改变”,《引文》1982年第1-5期;鲁德,《英语年》,《引文》2008年第20期。Underdown,《But the Shows》,Citation2011, 7.14。巴赫金,拉伯雷,Citation1984, 7.15。出处同上,7 - 8.16。布里斯托尔,《嘉年华与剧场》,Citation1983, 651页;Stallybrass and White,《政治》,Citation1986, 16.17。泽蒙·戴维斯,《青年团体》,Citation1971, 43-45页;韦伯,《巴赫金》,《引文》2005,122,132。勒·罗伊·拉杜里,《历史上的嘉年华》,Citation1981,第57.18页。路,英语年,引文2008,17.19。Underdown,《But the Shows》,Citation2011, 22.20。Storch,“坚持与改变”,Citation1982, 3.21。《南亚评论》,1838年11月27日“赛舟会”第7页;《南亚评论》。“赛舟会”,1839年11月26日,第4页;《殖民时报》,“评论与赛船会”,1839年12月17日,第4页;《信使》,1840年12月1日,第2.22页。Hone,《每日之书》,1825年,第1-5页;狄更斯,《场景》,引文,1839年,1.23页。狄更斯:《场景》,引文,1839,第70-83.24页。柯林森,《快乐的英格兰》,《引文》2001,第1-4.25页。麦克斯韦·斯图尔特和昆兰,“不自由”,Citation2022, 12-18.26。范迪门斯,《引文》,2008,15-72.27。Van Diemen 's,引文,2008,36-72.28。阿特金森,《四种模式》,citation1979,28 - 35;约翰斯顿,《糟糕》,Citation2016,第4名;Tuffin et al.,“Landscapes”,Citation2018, 568-569;麦克斯韦-斯图尔特和昆兰,“不自由”,Citation2022, 55-84.29。麦克斯韦-斯图尔特和昆兰,“不自由”,Citation2022, 75-84.30。Tuffin et al .,“景观”,citation2018,50 - 76.31。出处同上,224 - 225.32。范迪门斯,《引文》,2008,231-235.33。出处同上,137;欣德马什,《啤酒》,1999,第137.34页。劳伦斯,<酿造>,引文出版社。, 3;喀斯喀特女工厂历史遗址,《喀斯喀特》,第35期。范迪门斯,《引文》,2008,136-137.36。麦克斯韦·斯图尔特和昆兰,《女囚犯》,Citation2017,第29页;史密斯、货物、Citation2008;Wapping历史组,Down Wapping, Citation1988, 111-128.37。罗斯,“女人的邻居”,引文1983.38。博伊斯,范迪门斯地以北的Citation2008, 112 - 117;威廉姆森,“信”,Citation1820 1.39。麦克斯韦-斯图尔特和昆兰,“不自由”,Citation2022, 59.40。Wapping历史组,Down Wapping, Citation1988, 123.41。巴赫金,拉伯雷,引文,1984,19 - 26.42。Pretyman,《早期》,citation1970,50;Ward, Australia, Citation1967, 40.43。安德森,《进化》,Citation2020, 727.44。Schmid et al., Drink, Citation2014;Haydock,“消费”,引文,2016,3-5.45。巴赫金,拉伯雷,Citation1984, 10-11;Haydock,“消费”,Citation2016, 3-5;摩尔,《澳大利亚的波西米亚人》,引文,2005,8.46。布雷瑟顿,《嘉年华》引文,1991,324 - 325.47。Hindmarsh,“啤酒”,Citation1999, 155-156;范迪门斯,《中国科学》,2008,35 - 35。欣德马什,<啤酒>,引文1999,第155.49页。参见麦克斯韦-斯图尔特和昆兰的《不自由》,Citation2022, 186.50。皮尔斯,《公共房屋》,Citation2006,第2期;Wapping历史组,Down Wapping, Citation1988, 118-119.51。Reid, < Setting Women >, Citation2003,第8.52页。Boyce, Van Diemen 's, Citation2008, 135.53。

This article explores the ways in which people imagined their suicide letters to be tools of posthumous communication, in both eighteenth- and nineteenth-century London, and early twentieth-century Pernambuco. In examining letters from two places with very different religious traditions; at times of very divergent legal approaches to suicide; and at important points of change, this article seeks to examine both the commonalities and cultural specificities of these letters. Using 67 English and 39 Brazilian letters, it explores the suicide letter as a form of writing. It shows that, although death literally destroyed the possibility of interpersonal exchange, its imminence could make for particularly honest epistolary expressions of emotion. It also argues that, for some writers, death was envisaged as a divide which could be breached.

In Irish tradition it was believed that both the living and the dead might in certain circumstances appear at a distance from their bodies. This article considers occasions where such supernatural visitations happened close to the moment of the death. Deathbed apparitions or ‘crisis apparitions’ were reported widely in Europe and America, but have not been much explored by historians. In crisis apparition stories, the dying or just-dead person visited a neighbour, friend or close relative and a key feature was that the percipient would declare what they had seen, even before confirmation had arrived of the death. Accounts dating from between about the 1820s and 1940s provide the basis for an exploration of the crisis apparition both as reported in Ireland and among Irish people abroad. That many crisis apparitions communicated across the Atlantic reflects the anxieties of ‘exiles’ and their friends and families about death far from home, and this article also considers their role in bridging gaps in conventional communications. Accounts of supernatural leave-taking also travelled across time, offering insights about how storytelling assisted the processing of grief and the handing down of the dead over generations that are relevant to other contexts far beyond Ireland’s shores.

Using 192 petitions from the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Quarter Sessions, this article questions whether petitioning culture in the early modern West Midlands supports the idea of the ‘decline of neighbourliness’. It frames group petitioning as an inherently social and neighbourly (yet performative) act in which a signatory was entering into an exchange of ‘social capital’. Ultimately, it is argued that as mentions of immoral behaviour became rarer, and demands of relief for poverty-stricken neighbours rose, petitions may appear to present a firm counter-argument to the supposed ‘decline of neighbourliness’. However, there are strong hints, such as the increasing likelihood to provide a mark or signature, that people joined petitioning groups for individualistic aims. Thus, group petitions show that neighbourliness and individualism should not be seen as mutually exclusive in early modern communities.

ABSTRACTDuring the so-called Press Freedom Period, 1770–1773, in Denmark-Norway, fierce and mostly anonymous criticism of the recently introduced number lottery emerged. This opposition went beyond mainstream patriotic discourse and produced narratives of players and lottery agents as socially irresponsible individuals. The article traces the initial development of a patriotic narrative concerning matters of morality, the deterioration of the labour force, and the perceived threats against the resilience of the state. We demonstrate how the focus of criticism – during the subsequent phase leading up to the closing of Press Freedom in October-November 1773 – shifted towards the practice of playing the lottery and the actors embodying this practice as victims or abettors of the operations of an ominous state-sanctioned enterprise. This rapid transformation of discourse was a unique feature of the Press Freedom Period.KEYWORDS: Lotterythe press freedom periodpatriotism18th centuryDenmark-Norway AcknowledgementI am grateful to the two anonymous peer reviewers for their valuable suggestions.

摘要在所谓的新闻自由时期(1770-1773年),在丹麦和挪威,出现了对最近推出的数字彩票的激烈且大多是匿名的批评。这种反对超越了主流的爱国话语,并产生了球员和彩票经纪人作为社会不负责任的个人的叙述。这篇文章追溯了爱国主义叙事的最初发展,涉及道德问题、劳动力的恶化以及对国家恢复力的感知威胁。我们展示了批评的焦点-在导致1773年10月至11月新闻自由关闭的后续阶段-如何转移到玩彩票的做法以及体现这种做法的演员作为一个不祥的国家批准企业运作的受害者或教唆犯。这种话语的快速转变是新闻自由时期的一个独特特征。关键词:彩票;新闻自由;爱国主义;18世纪;丹麦-挪威致谢感谢两位匿名的同行审稿人提出的宝贵建议。此外,我还要感谢我的同事Niklas Olsen、Søren Rud、Gunvor Simonsen和Karen vallg<s:1> rda对本文早期版本的评论。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。关于丹麦-挪威的彩票,一般见Helle Linde, ' Lotterier ', Københavns Kronik, no。43 (1989): 3-4;C.A.克莱门森,《丹麦工业发展与发展》(哥本哈根:O.O.

This opposition went beyond mainstream patriotic discourse and produced narratives of players and lottery agents as socially irresponsible individuals. The article traces the initial development of a patriotic narrative concerning matters of morality, the deterioration of the labour force, and the perceived threats against the resilience of the state. We demonstrate how the focus of criticism – during the subsequent phase leading up to the closing of Press Freedom in October-November 1773 – shifted towards the practice of playing the lottery and the actors embodying this practice as victims or abettors of the operations of an ominous state-sanctioned enterprise. This rapid transformation of discourse was a unique feature of the Press Freedom Period.KEYWORDS: Lotterythe press freedom periodpatriotism18th centuryDenmark-Norway AcknowledgementI am grateful to the two anonymous peer reviewers for their valuable suggestions.

Digital technologies offer a quick and convenient method of communicating across distance, but there are unique benefits to engaging in forms of delayed communication. Long-distance letter writing in the early nineteenth century was often a slow business, and one that Romantic poet, John Keats, capitalised on. In particular, the letter provided Keats with a means of managing the reality of his circumstances when he was faced with inexorable loss and tragedy. In the period of time leading up to the death of his brother, Tom, in 1818, Keats exploited the specific cultures and forms of letter writing to generate a unique consolation for himself and his family members; as he confronted the reality of his own death two years later, the letter played a similarly crucial role in managing his feelings of loss and grief. Letter writing, during these difficult periods, presented Keats with a unique dichotomy: the letter kept him grounded in the cruel reality of his situation while often functioning as a singularly effective means of managing it. How the specific cultures of letter writing and disease intersect, and how Keats’s imaginative epistolary narratives coalesce with the increasingly urgent facts of consumption and death, will be examined here.

men settling back into the security of home life and experiencing loving care and comfort in family support. Here, Bate has carried out admirable work in tracing the afterlives of some of the facially-injured men from the Great War. In terms of visual representation of facial trauma during the Great War, existing academic discourse to date has tended to rely on the Gillies’ Archive of patient records and images. For example, Suzannah Biernoff and Emma Chambers have produced outstanding analyses on Henry Tonks’ portraits and other images. However, while this is a rich seam of fascinating and valuable resources relating to the medical visual cultures of facial injury during the conflict, it is refreshing to see untapped materials subjected to Bate’s careful scrutiny. Photography in the Great War gives an important, alternative perspective on not only the visual recording of these injuries, but also on the work of other clinicians and some of their patients’ stories
