It draws on and expands the ideas of his previous work, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, but with a more critical and polemical approach.

In between the preand post-history, King covers all the bases we expect in a conventional general history: major political and economic developments are noted wars are fought, lost and won. King charts a predictable journey from the prehistory of the land through to an optimistic ‘Posthistory’ conclusion, where he claims that most New Zealanders are ‘commonsensical and tolerant’ (a reading challenged by the aftermath of Don Brash’s recent Orewa speech). There is little in The Penguin History of New Zealand that will surprise the readers of this journal. Not a writer to resort to italics lightly, we should heed his warning. His audience, he tells us, is the ‘curious and intelligent’ general reader, those ‘who are not historians’. IN THE PREFACE of his new general history of New Zealand, Michael King states that ‘this book is not written for other historians’.

But the book is more than the sum of its parts. ![]() The book collects together Ian’s handwritten lyrics, lost songs, and original ideas, with photos of his book collection, artwork from gigs, albums, and singles, and some fascinating fan mail that he kept alongside his notebooks. There’s a new addition to the Joy Division archives this month, with the release of So This is Permanence. Although it is a shame that idiots like The Wombats got on board. Curtis was one of the best songwriters this country has produced, and if fantastic films like Control can bring his music to a wider audience, I’m all for it. As a long term fan, I fall in a different camp. From the 1995 biography Touching From a Distance, to the film biopic Control and the documentary Joy Division, both in 2008, people have questioned whether this kind of scrutiny is really what the reclusive and media shy Ian Curtis would’ve wanted. Certain sections have shown equal disdain towards other recent releases regarding the band. ![]() Many fans were disappointed when Peter Hook and his new band toured the Unknown Pleasures album, seeing it as nothing more than a money making scheme.

Wells![]() ![]() ‘In Christian cemeteries there was a strong tendency for graves to be clustered around the burial place of a particularly holy person, preferably a martyr, but failing that, a Church leader or someone well known for the holiness of his or hers life. ‘We pray not to instruct God but to get our will in line with Heaven’ 1ĭoes the graffiti represent an attempt by the bereaved to attach the name of a deceased person to a particularly ‘notable’ or ‘ennobled’ individual – one whom was possibly regarded as a ‘folk’ saint within the community – or was it simply the desire to be affiliated with the ‘symbolism of the ideal’ in the post-Reformation world? In the Medieval world, intercessors were sought in every avenue of life as a way to ‘fast track’ the soul to heaven. A good body of evidence now exists which supports the theory that such motifs are examples of ‘memorial’ graffiti. ![]() Although a range of apotropaic symbols are often present, the majority of the graffiti seems to consist of names and dates, often within cartouches. ![]() Why have effigies and monuments to the dead historically attracted graffiti ? It is phenomenon that seems to be particularly prevalent during the 16 th and 17th centuries. ![]() |
