However, the contents of graves, including the bodies of occupants, also represent one of the most valuable sources of information concerning ancient societies. For most of the time since systematic inquiry into the ancient past began, this potential paradox was solved by denying the ancient dead any of the respect recorded to more recent burials. Since the 1990s, a number of challenges have been mounted to this approach, and a complex debate resulted that provides a window into contemporary attitudes toward death, humanity, the sacred, and the spirit of place. This article is designed to review and analyze that debate in a British context.","PeriodicalId":516659,"journal":{"name":"Preternature: Critical and Historical Studies on the Preternatural","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140510212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, in this time, ritual is imprinted upon entire landscapes with natural objects manipulated to construct ritual spaces. This article considers the nature and purpose of natural objects, specifically plant species, within prehistoric ritual practice in Scotland through consideration of the Traprain Law environs, East Lothian. Within prehistoric contexts, the Traprain Law environs are formed partly through the physical manifestations of ideology in a network of ritual sites. In this context, plants as natural objects are a community integral to ritual networks, whether through ritualized clearance, symbolic usage in cremation, votive offering, or deposition prior to site abandonment. There are many ways in which plant remains occupied space within ritual taskscapes in prehistoric Scotland.","PeriodicalId":516659,"journal":{"name":"Preternature: Critical and Historical Studies on the Preternatural","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140510374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It shows that the world of the Theocritean corpus is complicated and enriched by material agency and the agentic landscape.

More specifically, The Parliament of the Gods, Zeus Catechized, Zeus Rants, On Sacrifices, Dialogues of the Gods, Menippus, Icaromenippus, and the True Story are closely studied to argue that Lucian conceptualizes the quest into life's unknowns by engineering imaginary worlds, estranging the normal, and questioning ground truths about life.

AD 220), Callimachus and Chrysorrhoe (early fourteenth century AD), Konrad's Saga (fourteenth century AD) and The Theodore Tiron Miracle Story (fourteenth century AD)—prove to be underpinned by an ideal story type along the following lines. A dragon lives in a golden, jeweled castle, almost impossible of access. It is surrounded by and infested by lesser serpents. Within it he has a special raised platform, and he is served in it by automatic air-powered trays, tables, and vessels. He conceives a desire for a human girl, steals her and keeps her captive. The castle is penetrated by her lover-to-be, who kills the dragon and saves her, whereupon the marvelous castle melts away. The theme of erotic desire travels with the story type. Further support is provided for the long-held suspicion that the Cupid and Psyche tale builds upon a preexisting traditional dragon narrative.","PeriodicalId":516659,"journal":{"name":"Preternature: Critical and Historical Studies on the Preternatural","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140510182","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comparison between the literary descriptions and the archaeological record reveals numerous anomalies within this landscape's presentation, including an imaginary grove, spring, and impossible localizations. While traditional analyses explain away such matters as the result of poetic license or tradition, this approach cannot account for all identifiable inconsistencies. Thus, the site's identification as a natural deathscape, a place associated with death/the dead and imbued with multifaceted sociocultural meanings, serves as a tertium quid that coalesces the site's real and imagined topographies into a holistic landscape. Within this paradigm of spatial syncretism, particular attention is paid to the interaction of sociocultural functions inherent within the processes of landscape creation and eschatological reflection.","PeriodicalId":516659,"journal":{"name":"Preternature: Critical and Historical Studies on the Preternatural","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140510458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These legends are tied deeply to the landscape in landmarks, rock formations, and placenames. Les Petits Faîtchieaux haunt the dolmens, carry round menhirs, and even relocate churches. Michel Foucault outlined the principle of heterotopias, counter-spaces which are separated, both open and closed, and create a break from everyday time. The supernatural folklore of Jersey helps generate a heterotopia, with the promise of an eerie supernatural threat that is always lurking. An ecoGothic lens can add further dark clarity to heterotopic approaches to the landscape, highlighting the vulnerable island landscape in relation to human activities. This article applies these two lenses to the supernatural folklore of Jersey, viewing the island as a heterotopia, a container for a landscape of folkloric imagination.","PeriodicalId":516659,"journal":{"name":"Preternature: Critical and Historical Studies on the Preternatural","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139640685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
