Blood Obsession: Vampires, Serial Murder, And The Popular Imagination

2005 y.
Publisher: Peter Lang Publishing
Description: What is it about vampires that fascinates the human imagination? Blood Obsession closely scrutinizes theories of Sigmund Freud and Tzvetan Todorov and arrives at a model of the vampire as the perfect representative of genre for a variety of reasons-the vampire figure appeals to its audience because of an interdependency of looplike mental and narrative structures that lure both reader and writer incessantly back to the genre. At the same time, this book provides the reader with a thorough survey of literary and filmic vampires in both adult and juvenile fictions. Lastly, it blends the realms of legal and literary history by highlighting the changes the image of the serial killer, a close relative of the vampire, underwent at the end of the twentieth century. Blood Obsession is a highly enlightening study for the general reader as well as for students of film, literature, and popular culture. [detailed...]

Blood Passion: The Ludlow Massacre and Class War in the American West

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: By early April 1914, Colorado Governor Elias Ammons thought the violence in his state`s strike-bound southern coal district had eased enough that he could begin withdrawing the Colorado National Guard, deployed six months earlier as military occupiers. But Ammons misread the signals, and on April 20, 1914, a full-scale battle erupted between the remaining militiamen and armed strikers living in a tent colony at the small railroad town of Ludlow. Eight men were killed in the fighting, which culminated in the burning of the colony. The next day, the bodies of two women and eleven children were found suffocated in a below-ground shelter. The `Ludlow Massacre,` as it quickly became known, launched a national call-to-arms for union supporters to join a ten-day guerrilla war along more than two hundred miles of the eastern Rockies. The convulsion of arson and violence killed more than thirty people and didn`t end until President Woodrow Wilson sent in the U.S. Army. Overall at least… [detailed...]

Eric Konigsberg
Blood Relation

2005 y.
Publisher: HarperCollins
Description: Journalist Konigsberg embarks on a lengthy odyssey when he discovers, by chance, a dark secret that has haunted his respectable Midwestern Jewish family: his great-uncle has spent most of the past four decades in jail for a series of brutal crimes. Great-uncle Heshy `Kayo` Konigsberg eventually calls the author from prison (he wants to fictionalize his life) and sets in motion a series of bizarre visits during which the criminal attempts to manipulate the younger man`s sympathies. Despite the author`s clear-eyed awareness of his relative`s misdeeds, which include vicious gangland murders that will remind many of the career of Sammy `The Bull` Gravano, he has a hard time staying away from the prison. Though `nasty, brutish, and short-tempered,` Kayo is also oddly `ingratiating.` But while Konigsberg succeeds at introducing touches of humor and deftly brings his family members to life, too much remains cryptic—particularly what led Kayo to his career path—to make the narrative fully… [detailed...]

Blood Relations: Chosen Families In Buffy The Vampire Slayer And Angel

2005 y.
Publisher: McFarland &, Company
Description: The television series Buffy and Angel revolve around radical conceptions of family. Indeed, their coherence depends on the establishment of nontraditional families that admit vampires, demons, witches, werewolves, and other bizarre characters without censuring them for their peculiarities. This work argues that what makes these characters enduring and engaging is their critical family connections?for their most involved struggles occur not within the graveyard, but around the dinner table, just as the most challenging adversarial forces that they must face are not demons or vampires but the stuff of everyday life. What does `family` encompass within these two series? How does it relate to concepts of gender, sexuality, power and the supernatural as they emerge from the shows? complex narratives? This book explores such questions. It also examines the `chosen family` (an idea marketed specifically by successful programs such as Friends and Sex… [detailed...]

William K. Gilders
Blood Ritual in the Hebrew Bible: Meaning and Power

2004 y.
Publisher: The Johns Hopkins University Press
Description: In ancient Israelite sacrifice as represented in the Hebrew Bible, the handling and use of the blood of sacrificed animals took many forms and served different functions. The Hebrew Bible refers to tossing sacrificial blood onto an altar or an assembly of people, daubing it on the altar`s horns or parts of the human body, and sprinkling it on or in front of sacred objects. William Gilders investigates the significance of these blood rituals. Offering a close reading of Leviticus 17:11, Gilders emphasizes the secondary and innovative character of this biblical text, which has often been treated as a key for understanding biblical blood ritual. Focusing on the analysis of practice, Gilders finds that blood manipulation is regularly marked as elite activity, serving as an index of social relationships and hierarchies. Blood rituals also regulate access to sacred spaces and define the limits of such spaces. Drawing on recent theoretical approaches to ritual practices, this… [detailed...]

Curious about the old homestead where she now lives, Jerry finds an ancient trunk in the basement thatcontains, among other things, an old piece of bloodstained lace, some letters, and a battered doll. The objects in the trunk have stories to tell -- stories about the Spanish Inquisition spanning nearly five hundred years and stories of secrets locked deep in the bloodlines of Jerry`s ancestors.

Blood Sport: Hunting in Britain since 1066

2007 y.
Publisher: Yale University Press
Description: Hunting offers excitement, exhilaration and entertainment, but brings deep social unrest in its wake. The recent battle over the future of hunting was simply the latest such skirmish in a very long line. From the time of the Norman Conquest, when William trampled over common law and landlord`s crops alike by declaring that wild animals were royal property, hunting of all kinds has been a source of conflict. It was a driving concern in medieval forest laws, in Magna Carta, in the Puritans` moral crusade and in Charles I`s wars with parliaments, as well as in the modern Labour Party. `Blood Sport: Hunting in Britain since 1066`recounts the long and colourful history of hunting in Britain, presenting a fresh perspective on today`s issues. At every stage in Britain`s history, hunting has been entwined with land and power struggles, class divisions and social mores. `Blood Sport: Hunting in Britain since 1066` explores these large themes, bringing them alive with revelatory… [detailed...]

Blood Talk: American Race Melodrama and the Culture of the Occult

2003 y.
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Description: The United States has seldom known a period of greater social and cultural volatility, especially in terms of race relations, than the years from the end of Reconstruction to the First World War. In this highly original study, Susan Gillman explores the rise during this period of a remarkable genre--the race melodrama--and the way in which it converged with literary trends, popular history, fringe movements, and mainstream interest in supernatural phenomena. Blood Talk shows how race melodrama emerged from abolitionist works such as Uncle Tom`s Cabin and surprisingly manifested itself in a set of more aesthetically and politically varied works, such as historical romances, sentimental novels, the travel literature of Mark Twain, the regional fiction of Kate Chopin and George Washington Cable, and the work of W. E. B. Du Bois. Gillman then uses the race melodrama to show how racial discourses in the United States have been entangled with occultist phenomena, from the… [detailed...]

Blood That Cries Out From the Earth: The Psychology of Religious Terrorism

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Religious terrorism has become the scourge of the modern world. What causes a person to kill innocent strangers in the name of religion? As both a clinical psychologist and an authority on comparative religion, James W. Jones is uniquely qualified to address this increasingly urgent question. Research on the psychology of violence shows that several factors work to make ordinary people turn `evil.` These include feelings of humiliation or shame, a tendency to see the world in black and white, and demonization or dehumanization of other people. Authoritarian religion or `fundamentalism,` Jones shows, is a particularly rich source of such ideas and feelings, which he finds throughout the writings of Islamic jihadists, such as the 9/11 conspirators. Jones goes on to apply this model to two very different religious groups that have engaged in violence: Aum Shinrikyo, the Buddhist splinter group behind the sarin gas attacks in the Tokyo subway system, and members of the extreme… [detailed...]

Blood and Belief: The PKK and the Kurdish Fight for Independence

2007 y.
Publisher: NYU Press
Description: The Kurds, who number some 25 million people in the Middle East, have no country they can call their own. Long ignored by the West, Kurds are now highly visible actors on the world`s political stage. More than half of them live in Turkey, where the Kurdish struggle has gained new strength and attention since the U.S. overthrow of Saddam Hussein in neighboring Iraq. Essential to understanding modern-day Kurds-and their continuing demands for an independent state-is understanding the PKK, the Kurdistan Workers Party. A guerilla force that was founded in 1978 by a small group of ex-Turkish university students, the PKK radicalized the Kurdish national movement in Turkey, becoming a tightly-organized, well-armed fighting force of some 15,000, with a 50,000-member civilian militia in Turkey and tens of thousands of active backers in Europe. The war they waged in Turkey through 1999 left nearly 40,000 people dead and drew in the neighboring states Iran, Iraq and Syria, which all… [detailed...]
