Abstract:

Cathedrals today are no longer sites of just religious worship, they must be many things to many people such as tourist attractions, heritage centres, and meeting places. Today, Durham Cathedral in the north-east of England is home to almost 900 people engaged on site, of which almost 700 are volunteers. Add to that number over 700,000 visitors and about 1,700 religious services annually, and a complex image of life within Durham Cathedral begins to take shape. Drawing on 14 months of ethnographic fieldwork between August 2013 and September 2014, this thesis takes a phenomenological approach in exploring the dynamic relationships that exist between a 900-year-old building and those who regularly come into contact with that building. It will consider the complex negotiations that take place between the many parts of the community and the building in a constantly changing environment, and will focus on the role sound, light, time, and space play in the constant challenge of change and negotiation. Finally, it will consider how buildings are not only constructed but are also cultivated through being built and rebuilt, spaces negotiated and improvised, as well as filled with stories and memories. The importance of this research is not just in observing and understanding the types of change and negotiation that occur between a building and those who inhabit it, but also in understanding the altering roles of religious buildings as they cope with the changing demands of running a site of both historical and continuing social, religious, and financial pressures, Durham Cathedral is a place that gives space to differing communities, allowing people to find in the building what they need from the building and as a result of this, Durham Cathedral is not a place in which life happens, it is a place with which life happens.

Abstract:

The thesis is an exploration of discourse on a particular type of familial child homicide referred to as ‘murder-suicide’ and often appearing to occur ‘out of the blue’. The purpose of the research is to contribute to social work understanding of the cultural context of murder-suicide through description and exploration of how murder-suicide is perceived and constructed in five specific cases. The empirical basis includes a narrative analysis of selected newspaper reports, semi-structured interviews with social workers using vignettes and semi-structured interviews with relevant professionals who had post-incident involvement in the cases. The structure of the thesis follows the format of an introductory chapter; a review of the literature relevant to murder-suicide, family ideology, childhood and the role of professional social work and the influence of the media on the creation of discourse; followed by a discussion of the research methods; and three empirical chapters concerned with narrative analysis of newspaper reports and interviews of social workers and relevant professionals. The thesis concludes with a chapter on the relevance to social work. The key theoretical perspectives are a focus on the social construction of social problems and the existence of multiple discourses. The thesis concludes that a single interpretation of murder-suicide is insufficient. Social workers in particular identify a range of social and individual factors, intertwined and difficult to disconnect from each other, that contribute to the actions of the individual in committing murder of their own children. Familiar discourses are identified within which the phenomenon of murder-suicide is described and made sense of, including gender roles, domestic abuse, power and control and mental health. The thesis concludes that for murder-suicide, like other forms of child abuse, social workers must give up ideas of omnipotence and accept the fallibility of social work in protecting all children.

Abstract:

The years between 1660 and 1697 were possibly the most decisive in the history of St Paul's Cathedral. Even the dates themselves are significant - markers for what had been and what would follow. For it was during this time that St Paul's was transformed, outwardly and inwardly -a process that pulled in its wake the music and musicians whilst many of the changes can be understood without reference to the music and musicians, they themselves cannot be understood in isolation. In 1660 the Cathedral stood alone. Its singers and much of its music were heard only there, and it had little contact with the other main choirs in London - of Westminster Abbey and the Chapel Royal. But the destruction of the building, and its replacement by a new, specifically Anglican cathedral brought about a change in its position. This is reflected in its music and musicians, which gradually lose their Cathedral flavour, and, by 1697, have begun to acquire a London, and indeed a national identity. This thesis offers an investigation in to the process of change, as seen through contemporary writings, records and music sources. Such documents are examined and compared with their counterparts from other establishments, in order to define the relationships and assess the process of change. Study of the music sources includes an extensive examination of the two most important from this period, that is the first edition of James Clifford's Divine Services and Anthems (1663), and the seventeenth-century artbooks in the Cathedral (MSS 259-60 and 261 a-263). Their significance as Cathedral sources is examined; and the dating of the partbooks - with its implications for choral services - is evaluated, and current thinking ultimately challenged. It is also suggested that LbI Add. MS 29289 was in use at the Cathedral during the early Restoration and that it provided a model for John Barnard's The First Book of Selected Church Musick (1641). Two other related manuscripts, Mp MS 340 Cr 71 and Lbl Add. MS 29430 are examined and considered as possible Cathedral sources.

Abstract:

Cathedrals do not really have a role in Britain's secular society, do they? Powerful sociocultural pressures have forced religious suppliers, like Chester Cathedral, to innovate and to develop a tourism offering. Theoretically and empirically, cathedral studies have been dominated by tourism and quantitative strategies. Drawing on marketing scholarship, within the tight parameters of this interdisciplinary study, the thesis aims to challenge the status quo of cathedral studies. In particular, by using relevant branding principles as an illuminating framework, and theoretical tools from the sociology of religion and tourism, the aim is to qualitatively explore how end-users invest meaning in their 'visitor journeys/ Methodologically, the development of a spectrum/continuum of cathedral visitors, which was framed around the visitor journey, contributes to this area. Overall, the research is based upon interview and safari focus-group data. A broad range of actors were interviewed, including cathedral stakeholders, worshipping congregation, tourists and nonusers. The 'sacred brand', as it is developed in this thesis, highlights how visitors, irrespective of their background, creed and purpose of visit, are all able to connect with Chester Cathedral, in some form or another. Although the congregation, tourist and nonusers all use the Cathedral in different ways, the aesthetic value of the space often engendered a powerful emotional response, which was felt to be distinct from the mundane. This underlined the Cathedral's rich emotional economy, in which the sacred space seemed to resonate with visitors allowing them to invest their visitor journey with a deeper meaning than one would normally expect at a heritage site. The power of the sacred brand lies in these sources of significance, whether personal, religious, historical or socio-cultural. The thesis demonstrates the need to protect the Cathedral's legacy, and also, how secular societies still require 'sacred space'—although that space may not always be interested in 'religious' terms. Most broadly, there appears to be a need for an inclusive space that offers even the most ardent atheist sources of significance. As this thesis shows, cathedrals are well placed to provide this space and can be marketed accordingly, in order to meet both the commercial pressures and the need for a spiritual and a liturgical environment. To this end, the thesis also develops a particular method to be used in religious marketing and development of sacred brands.

Abstract:

English Cathedrals have an established and valued place in their respective locations. Their central role is to provide “the seat of the bishop and a centre of worship and mission”. The contention is that whilst there may be clarity about mission in terms of worship, education and interpretation of the building, there is less clarity about where the energy should be focused in terms of a wider missional role. Recent reports have sought to measure the social and economic impact a cathedral has in terms of its local environs and its reach in terms of social and spiritual capital. The cultural context suggests a rapidly changing religious landscape where the movement, in a consumer society, is away from obligation and traditional forms of religiosity towards a more open understanding of spirituality with freedom to explore, to sample and to choose what to consume. This research approaches mission from a spiritual perspective. It creates also an outer/inner approach from which to establish its empirical work. As such it is concerned with the construction of theory; it follows an inductive approach, though is openly disposed to an inductive-deductive interaction where appropriate. It provides an in-depth methodology based on a case study scenario utilising the qualitative techniques of focus groups and semi-structured interviews through which to collect the data. There are four data-sets each presenting an outer/inner perspective. Of unique interest was the appearance of a sizeable Occupy camp, occupying the site outside the case study cathedral for fourteen weeks raising fundamental questions about economic and social inequality at a time when austerity measures were beginning to take effect. This critical incident drew the cathedral into a more public engagement with the big questions that impact upon our daily lives. A key finding from the empirical work in the case study is that alongside its ecclesial focus the perceived core priority must be its mission to the city through its invitation and welcome but also through its outreach. I use social capital theory to engage with aspects of ‘bonding’ and ‘bridging’. Beyond the functionalist approaches, cultural and symbolic capital enables a more reflexive understanding of institution and cathedral habitus. This moves the analysis from the horizontal to the vertical axis by which ‘linkages’ are made with mechanisms of power and issues of justice and care. This facilitates further dialogue with global flows and their impact on daily life which integrates with the critical incident that was Occupy. Further analytical methods were incorporated to engage with these macro themes. The theological investigation emanates from within three spiritualities, ‘ecclesial’, ‘mystical’ and ‘prophetic’. It seeks to focus on the spirituality of the community, the community’s engagement with the consumer-led ‘spiritual turn’ and its bridging/linking role in the wider community. As a theological device I use a typology taken from the reading of the psalms to convey orientation, disorientation and new orientation. It coheres in particular with themes of disenchantment and the search for deeper meaning. This thesis contributes to the field of knowledge and the corpus of literature by proposing a model of cathedral mission that draws upon its spiritual and social capital to engage within the liminal spaces of emergent spiritualities, and the contested spaces of disorientation and disenchantment recasting fresh theological moorings to engage meaningfully with issues of justice and care. The outcome is reflective, dynamic and strategic, “creating new understandings of existing issues” and interacting with “disparate concepts in new ways”.

Abstract:

A Clutch, A Pride, A Murder is a linked collection of seven short fiction pieces and one novella that examine a world much like our own, but with the cover revealed—a world laid bare, exposed by its desires, its emotions, its beauties, and all its machinations. All of the stories involve, either directly or indirectly, the fictional Ohio city of Milton. Some of the stories take place within this seemingly typical American city, while others only involve characters coming from or in some cases returning to this unassuming location. Regardless, the events of these stories either in cause or effect all have their roots in Milton. The world at large also plays a part within these pages. While the stories themselves are completely fictitious, many of the peripheral events that happen beyond the principle storylines are pulled from today's real-world headlines: a series of increasingly devastating tornadoes in the American heartland; a mysterious suicide of a wealthy industrialist; the amazing technological feats of a nation's space program; the heinous crimes of a serial kidnapper. These events, each a worthy story in their own right, filter into the events of this collection, much as they do in our world—through the media. Television, radio, newspapers, social media all are outlets of information and current events making the stories of others part of our lives as we all live out our own personal adventures. I utilize these true-life events to add scope and breadth to the world of my fictions so that these events might at times inform and offer new perspective on the principle narratives. And while these true-life stories unfold in the backgrounds of their fictitious hosts, the hope is that the reader will be able to have a better sense of the timeline as the events unfold over the days, months, and years that these stories inhabit. Humanity in all its wonder and woe is on full display within this collection. From the journey of idyllic love to tragic romance, and the thin line that turns passion to obsession, we will see all the places theses complex emotions lead: a young botanist travels half-way around the world for a chance to reconnect with a lost love; a young girl's love for her family pushes her to extremes to protect her brother; a man's love for his city challenges his morality; the bond between brothers is put to the test; and a young man's reverence for history, and his love of family leads him down a dark path. How far will someone go to protect themselves? Their loved ones? Or even their way of life? The lengths these characters will go, or in some cases will not go, are central to the stories in this collection. I intend to show those lengths and tell my characters' all too human stories.?

Atkinson, Caroline Sarah. "William Peckitt's Great West Window at Exeter Cathedral." Thesis, University of Plymouth, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10026.1/887.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the Great West Window at Exeter Cathedral designed by William Peckitt of York (1731-95). Peckitt was arguably the most important glass designer of the eighteenth century and undertook prestigious commissions at York, Oxford and elsewhere. In 1764 he was contracted by the Dean of Exeter, Jeremiah Milles, to supply glass to complete the restoration of the Cathedral’s glazing and to make the new window, which has often been considered to be his masterpiece. Peckitt’s Great West Window is no longer extant (although portions of it have been salvaged), having been replaced in 1904 with a window, designed by Messrs Burlison and Grylls, which was itself destroyed by enemy action in 1942. The Burlison and Grylls window was more in keeping with the Gothic revival aesthetic typical of the later nineteenth century and its proponents had argued forcefully that Peckitt’s Great West Window was an aberration that needed to be removed. The thesis provides initially an account of the debate that raged in the national press and beyond about the propriety of replacing Peckitt’s window. This documentary evidence gives a valuable insight into attitudes towards the adornment of churches at the turn of the century: should respect for the extant fabric include Peckitt’s one-hundred-and-fifty year-old contribution or should the building be renovated with a modern medieval-revival window. Until recent times it was largely the case that eighteenth-century glass was regarded as wholly inferior to the medieval glass that preceded it and it is widely accepted that glass making in Britain only recovered with the nineteenth-century Gothic revival and the modern glass that followed it. In this thesis it is suggested that the denigration of eighteenth-century glass and in particular that of William Peckitt at Exeter, ignores its qualities, practical and intellectual, and the Great West Window is used to reveal the seriousness of such endeavours. Peckitt’s work is positioned within the context of the particular circumstances of the restoration of Exeter Cathedral in the mid-eighteenth century under two successive Deans, Charles Lyttelton and the aforementioned Jeremiah Milles, both of whom were nationally significant antiquarian scholars. Peckitt was knowledgeable about medieval glass techniques, worked sensitively in restoring medieval glass and when designing a completely new window for the Cathedral worked closely with Milles to provide an iconographical scheme that was appropriate for the Cathedral, its history and its patrons. The evidence brought forward suggests that it is wrong to presume that glass designers like Peckitt had little understanding of medieval glass manufacture nor any interest in using the medium of glass appropriately in the context of a medieval building.

Abstract:

Reims Cathedral holds a great deal of significance for the history of Gothic architecture, as well as the larger history of France as the coronation church. Given the historic significance of Reims, it is not surprising that much scholarship has been dedicated to the building’s sculpture, glass, and architecture. Most studies dealing with the cathedral’s architecture are based on stylistic and archaeological analysis, augmented by the use of surviving documents related to the construction. Although much fruitful work has been done in this vein, important questions about the building’s chronology and design still remain unresolved. The extent to which the design of the cathedral was established at the start of its construction, for example, continues to be disputed. The most recent monograph on the cathedral, published by Alain Villes in 2009, suggests that dramatic revisions to the overall plan and elevation were introduced during the course of its construction, going beyond the alterations to the façade designs that many previous authors have noted, but his theses remain controversial. Subsequently, Robert Bork has produced geometric models of the cathedral, which suggest that its plan was more coherent and unified. Additionally, French archaeologist Walter Berry has conducted new excavations, which further reveal additional archaeological evidence not yet taken into account by other Reims scholars. My dissertation, “Measuring the Past: The Geometry of Reims Cathedral,” examines the architectural design from a geometric perspective, augmented by archaeological, stylistic, and historic evidence. The primary contribution that my dissertation makes to art history is the development of a new, modern plan of the cathedral. I developed this plan by taking thousands of measurements using handheld devices and laser mapping, which I then incorporated into a single data set. This work allowed Bork and me to further refine the underlying geometry that created the cathedral’s layout and proportions. This new plan indicates that a master plan devised by the first architect governed the whole church, with subsequent modifications affecting its articulation rather than its overall layout. In addition to explaining how this plan was originally conceived, my dissertation also examines the anomalies and mistakes made during construction, which at times forced minor deviations from the plan. Some of these building errors and the obvious attempts to correct them give clues to the order of construction, in addition to supporting the notion that the masons repeatedly returned to the uniform scheme. This allows me to reassess the scholarship written about the cathedral and the complex history of the building project, while resolving some of the disputes over the cathedral’s construction and design.

The purpose of this thesis is to address the question: how can memorialization contribute to social transformation? Specifically, in what ways is memorialization activist? To answer this question I worked with St. Georgeâ€™s Cathedralâ€™s Crypt Memory and Witness Centre on their Bearing Witness exhibit, conducted primary and secondary literature surveys (namely academic articles and books, and periodicals from 1980-1986), story-telling focus groups and individual interviews. The exhibit group consisted of 17 former South African squatters who fasted at St. Georgeâ€™s Cathedral in 1982, demanding rights to live and work in Cape Town. Of the group of 17, I conducted personal interviews with seven women and three men.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis places P. D. James's detective novels within the historical and critical framework of the detective genre, and explores her particular contributions to it. James's awareness of the implications of a police investigation, coupled with her strikingly bleak and moralistic representation of our contemporary world are two of the main reasons she has achieved such widespread critical acclaim. Her novels also have a didactic dimension that ranges from an assertion of morally-correct modes of behaviour in an age without religion, to the constant reminder that, although they provide entertainment, murder mysteries must never be taken too lightly. These signature features of James's fiction have become more pronounced over the years, and reached their apotheosis in such novels as Death of an Expert Witness, A Taste for Death, and Devices and Desires. As a result, these texts are the principal analytic focus of this thesis.

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 126-134).
This project is about mass murderers and the motivation for becoming perpetrators of mass murder. The Rwandan genocide is chosen as a case study. The project strives to explain what seems inexplicable; why tens of thousands of Rwandan men and women turned into killers during the hundred days of genocide in 1994, most of them with no history of murderous behaviour. This project is a testimony to the human capacity for evil. The motivations behind the Rwandan perpetrators were probably not umque. Similar motivations were important to different mass murders. Other mass murders, most importantly the Holocaust, serve as a theoretical and empirical backdrop throughout this thesis. This adds a comparative dimension to the study. This thesis is divided into six chapters with the main focus upon three motivational factors behind the perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide: history, ideology and ordinary human traits. The first chapter introduces us to the topic of mass murder and discusses methodological issues in connection with the thesis. A qualitative analysis will be dominant in investigating the data; the data was gathered through interviews undertaken in Rwanda, South Africa and Norway, reports, documentaries, court verdicts and other secondary sources. In the second chapter, perpetrators behind one massacre, the killing of several thousand Tutsis at the Catholic Church in Nyarubuye, speak about their motivations for becoming perpetrators. The third chapter gives an introduction to the history of Rwanda and shows how distinction between Hutus and Tutsis became an ever more important part of Rwandan society from pre colonial times until the 1994 genocide. The fourth chapter builds an understanding of the importance of ideology for the perpetrators involved in the mass murder. The fifth chapter shows that general psychological traits were important for turning tens of thousands of Hutus into mass murderers. As we shall see in the conclusion, a history of distinction, Hutu Power ideology and ordinary psychological traits were all factors motivating the perpetrators of the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

Abstract:

English Cathedral Music has come to be regarded as an integral part of English identity both within the UK and indeed throughout the world. Its role is defined par excellence by the Nine Lessons and Carols Christmas broadcast from King's College, Cambridge. Many imagine this broadcast to be part of an enduring tradition stretching back unbroken to an idealised English past. This thesis examines the way in which the BBC broadcast cathedral music between 1922 and 1939 and assesses the impact that these broadcasts had on the way in which cathedral music was received. The main part of the thesis undertakes a detailed examination of the policies, procedures, personnel and working practices of the BBC departments responsible for the broadcasting of cathedral music. For this, the extensive collection of papers and working documents held at the BBC's Written Archive Centre was the main source. In assessing the impact of programmes on listeners, much use was made of published articles from BBC and non-BBC publications, as well as other accounts by those involved in broadcasting. The study identifies developing trends that can be found in the broadcasting of cathedral music first through the BBC's religious broadcasts and later in the Corporation's music programmes. It charts the rise in popularity of cathedral music as a broadcast genre. It identifies the consequences of the broadcasting of cathedral music for that music's perceived context and focus. The BBC's policy of broadcast excellence is shown to be a key influence in first highlighting and later transfonning the aesthetic context of the music, in particular in its identification with a national cultural life and history. This thesis argues that these policies ultimatcJy furthered the development of a secular narrative for cathedral music in parallel to and in competition with its original liturgical context.

Saint, L. "Choral music in Canterbury Cathedral, 1873-1988 : the role of service settings and anthems in the regeneration, preservation and sustenance of cathedral worship." Thesis, Canterbury Christ Church University, 2011. http://create.canterbury.ac.uk/10812/.

Full text

Abstract:

'What service settings and anthems were sung in Canterbury Cathedral during 1873- 1988' is a straightforward question to answer. The significance of the practice of choral music making in Canterbury Cathedral in the restoration and growth of Cathedral worship and early music repertoire deserves close examination through the information discovered in that first answer. The implication is that reinstatement of the worship and development of early music, following a period of impoverishment, was necessary. Investigation of the nature of changes made in Canterbury Cathedral, together with the progress of expansion of that worship, through music, becomes a challenging essential. Regeneration describes the breathing of new life, as in recovery from serious illness, which was shown to be necessary in the music and worship of the early 19th century, following the vicissitudes of disagreement, war and apathy regarding style of worship in general and the role and compositional characteristics of music in particular. Preservation implies maintenance and safeguarding something of value, which had been hard won, in the battle for wellcrafted music that conveyed and supported the meaning of the words that the music carried. Sustenance speaks of active feeding and nurture of something that has been made healthy, on a daily basis, so that it will have future life. The churchmanship evident in regular choral services in Canterbury Cathedral is middle to high, as is that of the writer, (akin to the Via Media recommended by John Henry Newman, between 'the superstitions of Rome ... and the errors of Protestantism'). The Cathedral building, its people and its musical life were historically damaged by those of excessive Puritanism. A teenage exposure to The Wilderness: John Goss, made a deep and life-changing impression on the writer; in later years serving as Organist and Choir Master of an Anglo-Catholic church choir, together with singing in a national chamber choir in Cathedral services made a significant contrast to the crushing puritanism experienced in childhood and also to some extent the low Anglican church services of early adulthood. However, a respect for those with different approaches to spirituality and worship remains an essential component of the Cathedral ethos and the views of the writer. The knowledge of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist has given purpose to the writer's life, especially when combined with well-crafted music, and in its original language wherever possible. One of the chief roles of this study is to demonstrate the way in which Canterbury Cathedral's music has been an essential part of the movement towards reconciliation of the differing tenets of Roman Catholicism and Protestantism.

Abstract:

This dissertation focused on examining murder-suicide in the United States through descriptive, time-series and spatiotemporal analyses using a self-created and herein verified national database that spanned the years 1999 through 2009. Chapter 2, "Establishment and validation of a national database for murder-suicide in the United States: 1999-2009," describes the methods and sources used in the creation of a national database of murder-suicide. The database was validated using less geographically and/or temporally expansive databases through the use of capture-recapture methods in two ways: the number of events identified in specified space and time was compared and cases were matched using the perpetrator's name. Victim and perpetrator characteristics were then described as compared to previous studies. Chapter 3, "A time-series analysis of murder, suicide and murder-suicide in the United States, 1999-2007" utilized time-series analysis techniques to investigate the impact of time varying covariates on murder, suicide and murder-suicide. Analyses were conducted in the United States at the national level from January 1999 to December 2007. Johansen's multivariable cointegration analysis showed that two-month time lagged murder was positively associated with murder, suicide and murder-suicide. Two-month time lagged suicide was negatively associated with murder, suicide and murder-suicide. Two-month time lagged murder-suicide was not related to any of the three events. Chapter 4, "Spatiotemporal relationships among murder, suicide and murder-suicide in the United States: 1999-2008" examined space, time, and spatiotemporal relationships among murder, suicide and murder-suicide using a spatiotemporal scan statistic from SaTScanTM. Thirty-five temporal and spatiotemporal clusters of murder, suicide, murder/murder-suicide, suicide/murder-suicide and murder/suicide/murder-suicide were identified. No purely spatial clusters, clusters of murder/suicide without murder-suicide, or purely murder-suicide were identified. The murder-suicide database, that will be made public in 2012, will be a novel source of information for investigators interested in studying murder-suicides with the inclusion of date, place, perpetrator and victim characteristics. Its validation along with the time-series and spatiotemporal analyses provides greater understanding of murder-suicide by itself and compared to murder and suicide.
