True Crime Stories: Twisted Tales of True Crime: Murders, Disappearances, and Serial Killers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 210min
No one ever truly disappears. In every unsolved case, at least one person knows the truth. True crime is one of the most popular genres on the bookshelves - new docuseries and podcasts entice an audience millions strong. But why are we so drawn to real-life horror? What does it say about us?True crime is about humanity. We are hardwired to pay attention to things that could harm us, and that’s why so many of us are captivated by the genre. It’s not a reflection of something dark within us - it’s a reflection of human nature.True crime has become more than a source of entertainment, and it plays a critical role in giving forgotten victims a voice they never had the chance to share. Indeed, reading and sharing true crime stories is an act of social responsibility.When true crime is done well, it teaches us how to be vigilant. It teaches us compassion, and it keeps the memories of victims alive.True crime writers have the responsibility to provide a balanced narrative and tell the stories of both perpetrator and victim without sensationalism. It is through this careful attention to detail that the victim is honored, and innocent bystanders are protected from the crossfire.Having lived through the traumatic disappearance of a loved one herself, Hannah J. Tidy understands the weight of this responsibility and expertly guides you through some of the most disturbing true crime stories of all time.In True Crime Stories: Murders, Disappearances, and Serial Killers: Twisted Tales of True Crime, you’ll be led through a series of the darkest cases the world has ever seen. You’ll discover:Critical red flags missed by police in a number of chilling cases The horrific story of Jordan Turpin and her 12 siblings A demystification of the vanishing children of Bowraville Why DNA testing was historically underused and how the tables have turned The infamous case of F ungekürzt.

Scapegoat (eBook, ePUB)
Widely regarded as one of the most profound critics of our time, Rene Girard has pursued a powerful line of inquiry across the fields of the humanities and the social sciences. His theories, which the French press has termed "e;l'hypothese girardienne,"e; have sparked interdisciplinary, even international, controversy. In The Scapegoat, Girard applies his approach to "e;texts of persecution,"e; documents that recount phenomena of collective violence from the standpoint of the persecutor-documents such as the medieval poet Guillaume de Machaut's Judgement of the King of Navarre, which blames the Jews for the Black Death and describes their mass murder.Girard compares persecution texts with myths, most notably with the myth of Oedipus, and finds strikingly similar themes and structures. Could myths regularly conceal texts of persecution? Girard's answers lies in a study of the Christian Passion, which represents the same central event, the same collective violence, found in all mythology, but which is read from the point of view of the innocent victim. The Passion text provides the model interpretation that has enabled Western culture to demystify its own violence-a demystification Girard now extends to mythology.Underlying Girard's daring textual hypothesis is a powerful theory of history and culture. Christ's rejection of all guilt breaks the mythic cycle of violence and the sacred. The scapegoat becomes the Lamb of God; "e;the foolish genesis of blood-stained idols and the false gods of superstition, politics, and ideologies"e; are revealed.- Shop: buecher
