From a lynching to a pistol whipping, this map documents human rights abuse in Dallas.

The publication of Bruce Chatwin’s The Songlines in 1987 transformed English travel writing; it made it cool.
For the previous half century, travel writing seemed to consist either of grim, extended journeys through desolate landscapes or jokes about foreigners. And the leading figures—such as Wilfred Thesiger or Robert Byron—in their tweed suits were celebrated for neither their prose nor their charm. But Chatwin was as attractive as a person as he was as a writer.

Tiny stick figures hung in mid air on both sides. Perhaps this is all depiction can do for history's true traumas, & we should save Art for when artistry does not seem a frivolity or obscene.

Is the story nothing more than an urban legend? Or does it have some basis in fact? Print-friendly Version. Dreamings. In 2002, Jeannie Herbert Nungarrayi, formerly a Warlpiri teacher at the Lajamanu School in the Tanami Desert of the Northern Territory, where I worked for many years first as a linguist and then as school principal, explained the central Warlpiri concept of the Jukurrpa in the following terms: To get an insight into us – [the Warlpiri people of the Tanami Desert] – it is necessary to understand something about our major religious belief, the Jukurrpa.
The Jukurrpa is an all-embracing concept that provides rules for living, a moral code, as well as rules for interacting with the natural environment. The philosophy behind it is holistic – the Jukurrpa provides for a total, integrated way of life. It is important to understand that, for Warlpiri and other Aboriginal people living in remote Aboriginal settlements, The Dreaming isn’t something that has been consigned to the past but is a lived daily reality. The Corner of Lovecraft and Ballard. Place Hacking. I rapped with reformed archaeologist Bradley L.
Garrett regarding his recent visual ethnographic fieldwork about urban exploration. Here’s what we talked about, all images are his. You are making two types of anthropological cinema. The first is what you are calling a video article, such as in Urban Explorers: Quests of Myth, Mystery and Meaning, and the second is a participatory yet observational documentary on urban spelunking. The first are information-dense and interview-based, the second wandering handheld claustrophobia inducing visual documents. Urban Explorers Quests for Myth, Mystery and Meaning was picked up early in its production by the Blackwell journal Geography Compass and was constructed as a sort of experiment in what visual geography could become (maybe in relation to visual anthropology which has been far more successful).
In regard to your second thread there, I realized early on that when I was exploring I had little control over what I was shooting.
Aklo. Requiem for 9 Bleecker Street. Lavender town. Somewhere between "hard to believe" and "of course they do" lurks the music, played over massive PA systems in Pyongyang, by the North Korean regime. Here are two important points of comparison: the unsettling Lavender Town locale in Pokemon, which matches North Korea's oddly melodic eeriness... ... and Chicago's tornado siren, for sheer nightmare terror quotient.

Make board game night a brain buster with this puzzle-based board game. Robert Yarnall Richie Photograph Collection. Three witches. Ladies & Gentlemen, This post is going to be rather long but necessary to pass on the story. I have shared this myth of the famed "witches" with my now college-aged sons, among others, who think this was one of the classiest stories/pranks ever pulled...and pulled it several times on numerous friends over a few years (late 60s through mid 70s). At some point in the late 70s, there was a full-page article on the witches, in either the Dallas Times-Herald or the Dallas Morning News, and the author was careful not to give away the ending.
Of course, over the years the owner(s) of the towers apparently tired of the numerous cars that cruised the towers' parking lots every night of the week, but especially weekends. As the story grew or spread, it got so that there were so many groups playing the prank on their friends, they began running into each other just from the sheer numbers. But I'll readily admit: yes, I took my friends to see the "witches. " Dallas historic photos and postcards. Masquerade. Kit Williams with a hare — but not the famous golden one.

The woofus. The Texas Woofus is a mythological chimera made up of the main staples of Texas livestock. Originally created in 1936 for the Texas Centennial Exposition in Dallas, the Woofus features the mane and neck of a horse, a turkey tail, pig body, duck wings, a sheep’s head, and of course, a pair of Texas longhorns. A decorated strip of blanket hangs over each side of the Texas Woofus, which can be seen spouting water from its nozzle on the side of the Swine Building in Dallas’ Fair Park today. This Woofus is a re-creation, however. When the original statue, created by sculptor Lawrence Tenney Stevens, was damaged in 1941, it was taken away and mysteriously disappeared. Some suspect a local Christian group thought it was too pagan and destroyed it.
