The Dead

The study of sub-adult remains, either skeletal or mummified, has been always a fairly neglected subject of bioarchaeology. Regarding mummified subadult remains, it mainly seems that fascinating stories (i.e., mountain sacrifice mummies) are usually discussed in detail. However, whilst childhood is a biological stage of human development, it is also a social construct and many past and present societies assign different values and meanings (i.e., cultural beliefs, social tensions) to the dead child. This presentation addresses the biocultural context of children mummies based on a meticulous survey of up-dated published reports. In addition, paleopathological observations are discussed, as well as the future need for systematic studies of subadult mummies (i.e., mortality patterns, maternal mortality).

In his final unfinished book on the writing of history, Siegfried Kracauer wonders about his increasing susceptibility to ‘the speechless plea of the dead’. ‘[T]he older one grows, the more he is bound to realize that his future is the future of the past—history.’ For the children of migrants, the question of how to speak well of the dead is distinguished by complex feelings of attachment and rejection, identification and denial that are expressed in a range of everyday interactions. ‘The Old Greeks’ examines the part played by photographic media in this process of memorialisation. It elaborates a series of propositions about the value of photographic media that are tested through a consideration of the events that surrounded the author’s first years in Australia.

The Art of sarcophagus has been known in Bali since ancient up to now in relationship with a cremation ceremony called “ Ngaben” or “ Pelebon”. Its function is as a plase for the dead body during cremation in order that the dead body is protected and its ash can be easily collected after the cremation Phylosophically, sarco- phagi whith are shape of animals have. a meaning of a pach into the heaven for the soul of the cremated body. Besides, if we view them from the art aspect, they hava special artistic velues and special beauty which become an important cultural asset to attract tourist who want to watch them. Ornaments of the sarcophagi generally used in Bali, are taken from animals such as lion, deer, akin of dragon, gedarba, tiger, and kinds of fish. The shaped sarcophagi are adorned with carved ornaments or with cutouts which are stuck on them and made from paper with various carving motif and coloured-catton thread for example: takep pala, takep piah, pengampad, badong, bottems cover ornament, fire tongue, “ gunala”, “karang guak”, “dure “. Ornaments carved in va- rious motif such as “patra punggel”, “patra sari”, mas-masan, “cra- cap”, patra cina “ and other “ kekarangan “. Comparison elements have important role on the beauty of sarcophagus work such as the comparison between the height and the length of the sarcophagus. Sarcophagi not only have special religious meaning, but olso they have high artistic value which should be developed in the future.

The Way

The sixteen ballads and songs within this section fall into two camps: elegy and remembrance. Whilst a central feature of elegiac poetry is the way in which it remembers or memorialises the dead, the dead a poem which is one of remembrance is not necessarily an elegy. Several of the songs herein use the date of Peterloo as a temporal marker – with an eye both on the contemporaneous reader or audience and the future reader. Included in this section are broadside ballads by Michael Wilson and elegies by Samuel Bamford and Peter Pindar. These songs display a self-awareness in their significance in marking the moment for posterity and in their attempts to reach an audience beyond Manchester and ensure that the public knew what had happened on 16th August as well as preserving the event in English vernacular culture. It is also a quest for ownership of the narrative of the day; the speed with which so many of these songs were written and published not only suggests the ferocity of emotions surrounding events but also the need to exert some control over the way in which they were represented.

We project the future accumulation of profiles belonging to deceased Facebook users. Our analysis suggests that a minimum of 1.4 billion users will pass away before 2100 if Facebook ceases to attract new users as of 2018. If the network continues expanding at current rates, however, this number will exceed 4.9 billion. In both cases, a majority of the profiles will belong to non-Western users. In discussing our findings, we draw on the emerging scholarship on digital preservation and stress the challenges arising from curating the profiles of the deceased. We argue that an exclusively commercial approach to data preservation poses important ethical and political risks that demand urgent consideration. We call for a scalable, sustainable, and dignified curation model that incorporates the interests of multiple stakeholders.

Family House

This paper explores how people within Neolithic villages were connected to co-resident multi-family households, and considers the potential material footprint of multi-family households within Neolithic villages. Drawing upon data from Çatalhöyük, I suggest that Neolithic communities were organized around multiple competing and cooperating Houses, similar to House Societies, where house members resided in clusters of abutting buildings, all largely the same size and with similar internal organization. These space were deeply connected to telling the generative narratives of the House as a historical and genealogical social unit, including the lives and actions of the ancestors, and in some cases embedding them physically within the fabric of the building. Çatalhöyük multi-family House members decorated some important rooms with display elaboration that focused on the past, the future and the family, while the dead from the households, who in many ways were still alive and part of the ancestral House, lived beneath the floor. This study underlines that researchers need to consider social scales beyond the single-family household and consider how the multi-family House existed as an organizational foundation within Neolithic villages.

ABSTRACTRecalling the past, thinking about the future and navigating in the world are linked with a brain structure called the hippocampus. Precisely how the hippocampus enables these critical cognitive functions is still debated. The strategies people use to perform tasks associated with these functions have been under-studied, and yet such information could augment our understanding of the associated cognitive processes and neural substrates. Here, we devised and deployed an in-depth protocol to examine the explicit strategies used by 217 participants to perform four naturalistic tasks widely acknowledged to be hippocampal-dependent, namely, those assessing scene imagination, autobiographical memory recall, future thinking and spatial navigation. In addition, we also investigated strategy use for three laboratory-based memory tasks, one of which is held to be hippocampal-dependent – concrete verbal paired associates – and two tasks which are likely hippocampal-independent – abstract verbal paired associates and the dead or alive semantic memory test. We found that scene visual imagery was the dominant strategy not only when mentally imagining scenes, but also during autobiographical memory recall, when thinking about the future and during navigation. Moreover, scene visual imagery strategies were used most frequently during the concrete verbal paired associates task, whereas verbal strategies were most prevalent for the abstract verbal paired associates task and the dead or alive semantic memory task. The ubiquity of specifically scene visual imagery use across a range of tasks may attest to its, perhaps underappreciated, importance in facilitating cognition, whilst also aligning with perspectives that emphasise a key role for the hippocampus in constructing scene imagery.

Set Up

This paper seeks to explore the meaning of death in two important works by two female Noble Prize winning authors, Toni Morrison and Alice Munro. Hagin’s (2010) theory of role of death in storyline is used to analyze the works. The three deaths found in the story: initial death, intermediary death and story-terminating death all have significant meaningful relation to the past and the future. They have epistemological value of revealing and/or exposing the truth from the past. Death is used as technical instrument to reveal the truth, to transform ignorance into knowledge, dishonesty into accountability, to purify the past from falsehood and lies. Death also inserts its demand in the story by removing obstacle or giving opportunity for the living to set up new goal. The demand of the dead is possible since the deceased is “remembered” by the “cult” who may follow or manipulate their legacy. The two authors articulate “feminist voice” through the struggle of the main female characters. Toni Morrison articulates the dehumanizing consequence of racism, whereas Alice Munro voices her concern on the contradictory nature of orderly neat appearance of the modern people versus scandalous dark secret beneath the surface.Keywords: dehumanization, feminist voice, initial death, intermediary death, story-terminating death, racism.
