Slumming It! Interpreting Child Poverty in Victorian Scotland
มุมมอง 99หลายเดือนก่อน
Ideas about children changed dramatically over the nineteenth century, with historians arguing that the concept of childhood was 'invented' by the Victorians. The urban street child - characterised by independence and apparent self-sufficiency - was at odds with the broader depictions of a protected and innocent childhood that are now so familiar. This talk by Dr Laura Mair focuses on both the ...

    Has there been any research on the men with whom Hitler served in WWI? Do the records survive? Also: 12:36 , wrt to coherence, I’m not sure I agree. If the last decade has shown us anything, it’s that the human mind has a “wonderful” ability to take disparate and even contradictory conspiracy theories, and invent the connective tissue that turns them into a grand theory that resists reason. “The Jews are using alien space lasers to start wildfires in California” is a union of three different (maybe three and a half) conspiracy theories that sounds plausible to conspiracy theorists. It connects garden variety anti-Semitic conspiracies, alien conspiracies (the government is hiding the existence of aliens), and secret technology hidden from the public, possibly of alien origin. It is exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to poke holes in the any particular theory that would bring the conspiracy theory believer “back to earth” because they have the ability to generate new theories or new connections to older “established” conspiracy theories. If you point out that the presence of aliens is exceedingly improbable due to the laws of physics and the vast distances of space, as well as many other factors (the dearth of planets that could support life for example), they will attack the science community for being in league with the Deep State. At the very least they will attack the scientific consensus as being an orthodoxy that suppresses non-orthodox ideas.

    To continue where I lost my thread. My eyes are blurry and t sent my comment below by accident but I have not finished my point. Bare with me my vision is not great.. When I was listening to your description of neo shamanic practices in Scotland it struck me that some ceremonies are appropriated from some aboriginal traditions. While this may seem to flatter aboriginal people it looks like this is mimicing indigenous people and that is insulting. Chanting s an aboriginal tradition that is quite different from Gaelic singing and certain cleansing ceremonies are used by particular aboriginal people. When used be neo shamans this is taken out of context. Cultural appropriation on a larger scale is doing real damage to indigenous people around the world who are doing their best to preserve the indigenous cultures that have survived. Taking traditions from First Nations here without permission and commodifying those traditions is just a continuation of the colonization practices that have gone on for hundreds of years. I understand that people from Celtic traditions are returning to animism and reclaiming their versions of spiritual traditions connecting them to nature. I am doing that myself. Just stop copying aboriginal practices and pretending that they are your own ancient traditions. Authenticity and honesty do matter in the world of spirit. Don' take concepts like walking the Red Road and call it the green road. Come up with your own damn allegory. Use all the Celtic gods you can find, use animal guides too. Raising consciousness, healing the planet , and having direct connection with nature are what matters. Create an authentic spiritual system of your own.

    I am a Canadian of Scottish and Irish descent who grew up in an indigenous community of hunters and gatherers in the Arctic. I have been interested in folklore and ancient history all my life. I am of course interested in Celtic history although I am fully aware of the fact that so much of what is considered Celtic is a romanticized distortion of Northwestern Europeans. My came from an Irish family and he tols us every Irish story he could find. Growing up in an Inuit and First Nations community I absorbed an indigenous value system and a non European concept of the connection between humans and the greater environment. While you have described a lot of the practices and creative interpretations of neo shamanism, especially in the British Isles, you have not fully addressed the history and ethical considerations related to neo shamanism. Many of the practices of neo shamans you describe are very imaginative and entertaining, but to me it sounds like a lot of cultural appropriation is also taking place. Interest in our pagan and animistic past is very appealing. I have rejected Christianity and embraced Animism myself. Not surprising, considering the abuse of aboriginal people here by various Christian churches that is still ongoing. Are you aware that most indigenous people in North America are concerned and angry about the damage done by the exploitation and cultural appropriation of neo shamanism. Misinformation about aboriginal spirituality has done a lot of damage. New Age or Neo "shamanism" was founded by Michael Harner who was a colleague of Carlos Castaneda who wrote The Teachings of Don Juan. They were anthropologists who studied at Berkeley in California in the 1960s. Michael Harner claimed that his information on so called shamanism came directly from his aboriginal informants was a white American who did not grow up in a native community. That is important because most First Nations people say that unless you grow up in indigenous tradition you cannot fully understand that tradition. My sister was married to an Inuit man and lived in Nunavut for more than 50 years, and she is fluent in Inuktitut. Her husband practiced shamanism. In spite of spending most of her life in an Inuit community, she does not claim to understand the cosmology and world view of the Inuit people. Michael Harner taught so called core shamanism, which does not exist because the traditions of most First Nations people are incomprehensible to other First Nations. Because Harner did not fully understand the spiritual and healing practices of many aboriginal people , he had no real context for what he was teaching about so called shamanism. I have talked to some of the Inuit people who taught Harner and they say he got a lot wrong. This has led to a lot of problems for I indigenous people here. Cultural appropriation of aboriginal traditions of spiritual and shamanistic ceremonies has spread a lot of misinformation about indigenous culture, and a lot of exploitation of what ancient aboriginal wisdom non natives can glean. To add insult to injury, fundamentalist Christian's are still attacking indigenous culture by calling it demonic. Neo shamans, including some "healers" that you described in Scotland, are tak

    When Sue talks about being with her father as he took his last breath and he was then gone, what was left wasn't her dad, that resonated with me so much. I was a nurse for 25 years, mostly working with elderly/hospice care and sat with many people as they passed, usually because their family couldn't get there in time or didn't want to be bothered if their relative passed at night. It's such a strange experience, the thing that makes that person who they are just goes 🤷‍♀️ I can't explain it, it was a humbling experience
