Synopsis

Cursed Objects Explained explores the captivating realm of artifacts believed to carry negative energy. It delves into the history, legends, and potential explanations behind these objects' sinister reputations. The book examines how historical events, psychological suggestibility (like the nocebo effect), and cultural narratives intertwine to instill objects with a reputation for misfortune. Did you know that the belief in animism, where spirits inhabit objects, has significantly shaped our perception of cursed items throughout history?

 
The book begins by defining cursed objects and exploring the psychology of belief. It then presents case studies of objects like ill-fated paintings and jewelry associated with bad luck, dissecting their histories and potential rational explanations. A key chapter examines cultural rituals that contribute to curse perceptions.

 
Ultimately, it discusses how our belief in cursed objects reflects our anxieties and influences our understanding of causality. This approach offers a multidisciplinary lens, combining historical analysis, psychological insights, and cultural perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of these phenomena.

In this collection, three educators draw on their experiences as immigrants and educators to address racial inequity in the classroom and provide a thorough analysis of different strategies that create an inclusive classroom. White educators that serve BIPOC students will benefit from these reflections on incorporating culturally relevant pedagogies that value the diverse experiences of students.

    « Today, in the United States, a new well is drilled every twelve minutes, and that model is what some wish to import to Europe ». 
    Job creation, lower gas bills, renewed competitiveness, geopolitical upheaval, energy independence… such are the arguments used by oil and gas lobby groups to influence public opinion and impose shale gas exploitation throughout Europe. Focused on the American example and oblivious of European economic and legal specificities, lobbies fling counter-truths regarding the economic benefits that their production would generate. However, what they call an energy revolution actually is a dangerous « gold rush » with a single mission, intensive drilling, to satisfy the hunger for profit of a few at the expense of the general interest. 
    Argument after argument, Thomas Porcher challenges information largely controlled by lobby groups and proposes crucial answers in the context of the current debate on shale gas in Europe.
