As he did in Urban Legends and Hollywood Urban Legends, and as he has done in dozens of columns for the Chicago Sun-Times over the last decade and a half, Richard Roeper lays out the basics of the conspiracy theory, quotes some of the true believers?and then tears the theory apart with his bare hands. 9/11 was an inside job. Lady Di and JFK Jr. were murdered. Heathens are winning the war on Christmas. American Idol is rigged. Barack Obama is a radical Muslim. The Secret will make you thin. The Virgin Mary is in the g

This book uses the nineteenth-century legend of Spring-Heeled Jack to analyse and challenge current notions of Victorian popular cultures. Starting as oral rumours, this supposedly supernatural entity moved from rural folklore to metropolitan press sensation, co-existing in literary and theatrical forms before finally degenerating into a nursery lore bogeyman to frighten children. A mercurial and unfixed cultural phenomenon, Spring-Heeled Jack found purchase in both older folkloric traditions and emerging forms of entertainment. Through this intriguing study of a unique and unsettling figure, Karl Bell complicates our appreciation of the differences, interactions and similarities between various types of popular culture between 1837 and 1904. The book draws upon a rich variety of primary source material including folklorist accounts, street ballads, several series of 'penny dreadful' stories (and illustrations), journals, magazines, newspapers, comics, court accounts, autobiographies and published reminiscences. 'The Legend of Spring-Heeled Jack' is impressively researched social history and provides a fascinating insight into Victorian cultures. It will appeal to anyone with an interest in nineteenth-century English social and cultural history, folklore or literature. Karl Bell is Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Portsmouth.

Consacré au très vaste domaine des rituels urbains, ce volume propose une réflexion transversale aux périodes historiques et aux disciplines – de l’histoire à la science politique, de l’anthropologie à la sociologie – sur les processus de construction, désagrégation, manipulation, métamorphose et recomposition auxquels le « faire corps » a été continuellement soumis de l’Antiquité à nos jours. Se concentrant sur trois espaces européens aux traditions historiographiques bien distinctes, les vingt-quatre contributions rassemblées ici tentent d’élucider les dynamiques et le fonctionnement de ces processus « en devenir » marqués par une dialectique qui, à chaque période, entremêle tradition et rupture dans un jeu complexe. Certains rituels sont pluriséculaires et relèvent du champ des cérémonies religieuses et civiques, du monde carnavalesque ou du domaine traditionnel des entrées princières et des funérailles politiques, d’autres se relient aux pratiques en apparence plus modernes du vote, du tourisme, du sport ou des médias. Tous entretiennent cependant une relation subtile avec le temps, l’écriture et l’espace dans lequel ils s’inscrivent, entraînant des remodelages urbanistiques où la dimension spatiale du lieu se double de celle, temporelle, de la mémoire façonnée par l’écrit.
