▼ This research explores the new tradition of creating mass murder memorials in the United States at the turn of the twenty-first century. Using written and oral history sources in combination with memorial designs, I explore the planning processes undertaken by five different communities: Virginia Tech, Columbine, University of Texas, Oklahoma City and Edmond, OK. I analyze what these case studies reveal about how changing cultural expectations and political needs transformed commemorative practices concerning violence in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. By exposing how the timely interventions of national figures increasingly shaped local commemorative aspirations, my research illuminates how the brief period of national unity in the immediate aftermath has been discursively and materially foregrounded as the heart of national public memory narratives of mass murder. I argue that at the turn of the twenty-first century the memory of victims of mass murders"assuming something akin to the role that fallen soldiers have played for the bulk of American history"are now viewed by a range of political, religious and cultural actors as a highly effective means of bolstering perceptions of local, organizational and national unity. This project contributes to the interdisciplinary literature on commemoration in three ways. First, I challenge the literature on memorials built in the immediate aftermath of violence and tragedy by illustrating how these memory sites are increasingly but the first stage of the material culture of public memory. Second, my theory of a ritualized assemblage develops the existing literature by forwarding a concept well suited to analyze the relationship of between seemingly disparate memory sites. Lastly, the rhetoric of what I call the Myth of the Slaughtered Citizen contributes to the literature on nationalism and commemoration by explaining how the victims of mass murder were culturally substituted into the commemorative role traditionally held by fallen soldiers to promote a sense of local and national unity.

▼ This study examined the alleged prevalence of Satanism in Zambia, with a particular reference to the Kabwe District during the period 2010-2013. The overall objective was to ascertain the claims and speculations on the alleged prevalence of Satanism in the district of Kabwe. The claims about the alleged prevalence of Satanism and the satanic scare were found by this study to be a reality in Kabwe, with eighty-eight per cent (88%) of the respondents acknowledging the alleged prevalence of the phenomenon. People’s knowledge of Satanism was mainly through rumours, messages from Churches and the electronic media. Studies on rumours (by Stephen Ellis, Gerrie Ter Haar and Jeffrey Victor) have shown that rumours can be investigated in the search for facts, especially rumours that offer plausible explanations for people’s shared anxieties. The above mentioned scholars argue that with efforts at corroboration, such as by interviewing key informants, the researcher can seek credibility on prevailing rumours by verifying or dismissing mere rumours from true stories. The assertions from scholars above justified the use of rumours as a methodological tool in this study. From sources of information the study relied on, claims about the alleged prevalence of Satanism in the district were investigated. The study refuted the satanic claims in a number of cases that were analysed, because they were mostly based on ‘pious legends’ hence lacked objective evidence. From the few incidents that suggested the prevalence of Satanism, there were still two basic problems faced in assessing their credibility: the first being the difficulty in determining the reliability of the confessions from informants who in this case either claimed they were ex-Satanists or served on behalf of Satanists. The second problem consisted in what seemed to be the inconsistency in the explanations of motives behind human killings found in the ritual murders. Some explanations did not suggest satanic motives. One example of refuted claims concerned the two locations within Kabwe district which were highly rumoured to be sites for Satanists, which were found by this study to be Freemasonry Lodges, contrary to what was rumoured.From the findings of this study, it was believed that people joined Satanism either because of the greedy for riches or to avoid poverty. It was also believed that other peoples joined Satanism unconsciously through luring methods used by Satanists. The study also found the satanic scare to have effects on the lives of people in the district. For example, it caused some people to become more committed Christians in their defence against the alleged satanic forces. Because people had associated riches to Satanism, certain individuals avoided getting rich for fear of being labelled ‘Satanists’. Advisors/Committee Members: Lubbe, G. J. A (advisor), Cheyeka, A.

▼ El presente trabajo analiza los tres dramas de la honra conyugal de Calderón de la Barca (a saber, El médico de su honra, A secreto agravio secreta venganza y El pintor de su deshonra) desde los postulados del antropólogo cultural Réné Girard. Las principales teorías de este autor difícilmente clasificable versan sobre el deseo y la violencia pero nacen y han sido aplicadas, básicamente, en el ámbito de los textos literarios canónicos. Consideramos que este punto de vista puede iluminar considerablemente estas crípticas obras sobre las que la crítica ha debatido profusamente sin llegar a consensos claros en lo tocante a su recepción e interpretación. Así, los aspectos más controvertidos de estas piezas (sobre todo la condición de inocencia o culpabilidad de los distintos personajes, la conformación de la violencia como un ritual y, en definitiva, la intención del autor con los incómodos finales de los dramas) cobran una dimensión nueva desde una perspectiva girardiana que podría representar una aportación relevante a la larga tradición de los estudios sobre el honor en el teatro del siglo XVII. Este trabajo presenta la siguiente estructura: se abre con un capítulo que recoge los postulados básicos de Réné Girard que servirán como clave hermenéutica de los dramas de honor a través de una lectura personal de sus obras más relevantes (Mentira romántica, verdad novelesca, La violencia y lo sagrado o Shakespeare y los fuegos de la envidia, principalmente). Proseguimos, en el siguiente capítulo, con una contextualización histórica en torno al concepto de honor y su dramatización en el barroco, así como con un análisis del subgénero del drama de honor conyugal y su marcado corte trágico. El tercer capítulo, elemento central del trabajo, se detiene en los aspectos esenciales y más controvertidos de las piezas de Calderón, combinando un análisis clásico o de carácter más convencional con las teorías girardianas. Así, las tres piezas antes mencionadas se han considerado como un conjunto donde ir trazando progresivamente los caminos que siguen el deseo y la violencia hasta conducir al inexorable ritual sacrificial que cierra estas piezas. Hemos querido hacer especial hincapié en la interpretación de los enigmáticos finales de estas piezas. El cuarto capítulo contrasta este modelo dramatúrgico propio de Calderón con tres piezas de otros autores contemporáneos (a saber, El castigo sin venganza de Lope de Vega, La fuerza de la ley de Moreto y Del rey abajo, ninguno de Rojas Zorrilla) para determinar el alcance e idiosincrasia del modelo de la honra conyugal que fija Calderón. En definitiva, consideramos que estas tres piezas de Calderón (así como el género del honor conyugal del que resulta el máximo exponente) darían cuenta de una estructuración ritual de la violencia encarnada en la honra conyugal dramatizada. Este amplio motivo habría pues servido, sobre las tablas, para revestir de sacralidad los miedos más escondidos y profundos de la escindida subjetividad barroca. Así lo hemos argumentado con un exhaustivo análisis de… Advisors/Committee Members: Rodríguez Cuadros, Evangelina (advisor).
