This book is the first academic study of the post-mortem practice of gibbeting ('hanging in chains'), since the nineteenth century. Gibbeting involved placing the executed body of a malefactor in an iron cage and suspending it from a tall post. A body might remain in the gibbet for many decades, while it gradually fell to pieces. Hanging in chains was a very different sort of post-mortem punishment from anatomical dissection, although the two were equal alternatives in the eyes of the law. Where dissection obliterated and de-individualised the body, hanging in chains made it monumental and rooted it in the landscape, adding to personal notoriety. Focusing particularly on the period 1752-1832, this book provides a summary of the historical evidence, the factual history of gibbetting which explores the locations of gibbets, the material technologies involved in hanging in chains, and the actual process from erection to eventual collapse. It also considers the meanings, effects and legacy of this gruesome practice."-- The golden and ghoulish age of the gibbet in Britain [نص مطبوع ] / Tarlow, Sarah, مؤلف . - London : Palgrave Macmillan, 2017 . - 155 p. : couv.ill. ; 21 cm.. - (Palgrave historical studies in the criminal corpse and its afterlife) .

عنوان : The Origins of Language : An Introduction to Evolutionary Linguistics نوع الوثيقة : نص مطبوع مؤلفين : Joanna Dornbierer-Stuart ناشر : London : Palgrave Macmillan تاريخ النشر : 2024 مجموعة : Palgrave historical studies in the criminal corpse and its afterlife ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-031-54937-3 اللغة : إنكليزي (eng) لغة اصلية : إنكليزي (eng) ترتيب : [Livres, Books] 400 - Langues تكشيف : 428 Use Language خلاصة : This book offers an introduction to the multidisciplinary subject of evolutionary linguistics, which seeks to explain the biological origins of language and its subsequent development in humans. Roughly six million years ago, a branch of hominids from the forests of East Africa started to thrive in the drier environment created by the East African Rift System. A host of physical developments culminated in the brains of early humans increasing dramatically in size and cognitive power. Influenced by a unique and complex social organisation, communication signals became much more diverse and dependent on memory and learning mechanisms. But language is not only used to interact with our fellow beings. It is also closely connected to our thoughts. This makes language a biological, social, cultural and cognitive phenomenon all at once. What precise role did each of these aspects play in the emergence of language and how were they all coordinated to produce the most sophisticated communication system in the animal kingdom? The book aims to answer these questions and open up the fascinating world of evolutionary linguistics. It is not only aimed at scholars of linguistics, but also students from other disciplines (e.g., psychology, anthropology, evolutionary biology and cognitive science) who have an academic interest in language but may be approaching linguistics for the first time. In addition, the book should appeal to anyone with an interest in the workings of language in general, as well as advanced learners of English The Origins of Language : An Introduction to Evolutionary Linguistics [نص مطبوع ] / Joanna Dornbierer-Stuart . - London : Palgrave Macmillan, 2024. - (Palgrave historical studies in the criminal corpse and its afterlife) .
