...The actions of looking and being looked at, according to Nicholas Mirzoeff, allowed varying groups or individuals to find and recognize each other. The abovementioned rhetoric of “not for selves” thus indicated the capacity of the visual experience of funeral processions, a prevalent practice, to create the collectivity of the fellow Shanghai citizens. Throughout the article, I have argued that funeral processions became the very locus where people of differing backgrounds encountered and gained mutual recognition by overcoming the boundaries of gender, race, class, religious orientations and native places. In this sense, the viewers were not just the consumers of Shanghai modernity, but also its active contributors and builders. Here, I argue against Yue Meng, who dismisses the Chinese as mere spectators rather than...

...Nuestro Padre Jesus Nazareno de Quiapo, more popularly called The Black Nazarene. It is a life-sized, dark wooden sculpture of Jesus Christ carrying the cross, while representing his passion and suffering and is believed to be miraculous by many Filipino Catholics. Originally with fair complexion, it is believed to have turned dark after the statue survived a burning galleon ship on its arrival from Mexico. Days before the processions, loads of devotees arrived in Manila to take part in the festive celebration. .

Many carried images of the Nazareno during the procession through the streets of Quiapo. The feast started when the doors of the church are opened and the wooden statue is carried out. The length of the procession is about 4.7 kilometers long. Many accidents had happened during the celebration because of the waves of people trying to touch the image itself. The swelling number of people sometimes extended to hundreds of meters from Quiapo church's doors. Some devotees just wave white handkerchiefs in the air for them to be blessed and provided with a good life. Hundreds of vendors sell oils, handkerchiefs, T-shirts and other goods...

...Know: The Black Nazarene The procession of the Black Nazarene is a commemoration of the wooden statue’s transfer (traslacion) from a Recollect church in Intramuros, Manila, where it was first enshrined, to St. John the Baptist Church in Quiapo, Manila, on Jan. 9, 1787. The original statue, which shows a dark-colored Christ bent under the weight of a heavy cross, was made by an unknown Mexican sculptor. It was brought to the country by Recollect friars in 1607 and was said to have survived a fire while aboard the ship. The image was charred but was preserved, which explains its color. Filipino Catholic devotees have attributed miracles and answered prayers to the Black Nazarene. Among these is the reported cleaning up of a clogged artery of a radio operator in his 60s. This reportedly happened after he prayed to the Black Nazarene on being told he had to undergo a hugely expensive bypass surgery. Devotion to the Black Nazarene was encouraged by Pope Innocent X, who issued a papal bull establishing the Confradia de Jesus Nazareno in 1650. In the 19th century, Pope Pius VII granted indulgence to people who prayed devoutly to the Black Nazarene. There are two images of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, both hybrids of the original and the replica created by Filipino sculptor Gener Manlaqui. The one paraded every Jan. 9 has the head of the replica and the body of the original, encased in stainless steel to protect it from damage. During the procession, the image is placed in a carroza...

Two new bands, Black Gold and Centenary bands were recently added to the train of some other old bands in a bid to add touch, class colour and a general feeling of mass belonging to activities during the Carniriv. The band of our concern here is the Centenary Band which has as its icon, a PEACOCK. BAND NAME The name given to this newly created band is CENTENARY BAND, a name well timed and well chosen to suit the theme of the carnival: Contemplating the Past, Reminiscing the Future. Centenary is an idea that has to do with hundred (100) years of the calendar. It gives the band ample space to reflect back back hundred years and model the bands activities in the procession to suit this period of time and transformation to the present. Activities during the parade is meant to reflect the cutting across in history, hundred (100) years interval to the present which will be depicted by costume, movement and segment formation. ICON The icon of Centenary Band is a PEACOCK, a rear lovely bird that represents beauty, pride, colour , royalty and dignity.

...For this assignment, I chose to focus on Chinese funereal practices for the residents in Chinatown in San Francisco. I chose to examine this culture because the residents of Chinatown exist in a unique community that is a blend of traditional Chinese and Western cultures. As we learned in from Trask and Harmon (2007), we must view cultural practices about death and dying within the context of their individual experiences. Some immigrant cultures can preserve many of their old traditions when assimilating to their new home. For those residents of Chinatown this is exactly the case and when it comes to their funeral practices; there is a beautiful hybrid of traditions where old meets new. In San Francisco’s Chinatown, the funeral is a big...

...against – Papal Supremacy. As Pope, this new point of view was meant to provide enough power to influence the split Christian community and spark the crusade he was so fixed on. His commitment to this promise is apparent in his commentaries on the transfer of the sacred head of St. Andrew to Rome. Pius’s depiction of the pompous procession emphasizes the importance of the Papal position, the apostolic succession of clergy men, and Rome’s history as the center of the world, all of which affirmed the Pope’s supremacy over councils and emperors and had the potential of bringing Christians together against the Turks. In order for his preaching of the crusade to be effective, Pope Pius needed to restore the importance of the papacy position, which had been overshadowed by councils since 1418 when the Council of Constance did away the Great Schism. The news about St. Andrew’s head being rescued from Patras before the enemy got a hold of it presented him with an opportunity to do just that. Pius claimed the sacred head belonged at the St. Peter’s citadel with his brother and planned a magnificent procession for it. In his third person narrative of this procession Pius describes the event in great detail paying special attention to his key Papal role in it. He describes how he was not only able to persuade Thomas to travel to Ancona with the relic, but he was also able to summon thousands of pilgrims from the chief cities of Italy for the event. His validity as Pope is...

...Chapter 22, “The Procession” of The Scarlet Letter configures all the components into place to reveal the conclusion of the novel. The entire chapter is committed to the foreshadowing of events that expose the true relationship between Dimmesdale and Hester to the entire Puritan community. Therefore, Hawthorne makes great efforts to depict the atmosphere of the procession. To present the reader with a general comprehension of the era, Hawthorne sets the scene with a thorough analysis of monarchy power. He extensively describes how the of flaunt of strength from the monarchy overpowers almost everything. This exhibits his aversion to those who receive power without working for it. Hawthorne elaborates on how primitive statement were elected by power rather than qualities- “elevated to power by the early choice of the people, seem to...

...precession of the gyroscope system((p). • Using Ws and (p above to calculate Izz (mass moment of inertia of the gyroscope) • Compare this experimental Izz to the theoretical Izz. A gyroscope is a mechanism consisting of a spinning flywheel, mounted on a base so that its axis can turn freely in any direction. The gyroscopic motion occurs whenever the axis about which the body is spinning is itself rotation about another axis. Gyroscope has a wide application in our daily life. The bicycle, for instance, is a good example of gyroscopic motion. The spinning wheel on bicycle act as a gyroscope, when we attempt to rotate the wheel about its axis, due to the procession of a gyroscope, the wheel will attempt to rotate about an axis perpendicular to the wheel axis. This procession keeps the wheel rotating either left or right so that the bicycle can stay upright. A gyrocompass is another example of the application of a gyroscope. The rotation of our earth about its axis gives it the properties of a huge gyroscope. The gyrocompass combines the action of the gyro rotor inside and the earth’s rotation to perform as a direction reference. II. Method 1) Apparatus used: • Gyroscope system(including a flywheel) • Electrical motor • Stroboscope • Stopwatch • Measuring ruler, pencil 2) Measuring angular velocity of the flywheel((s) • Rev up angular velocity of the flywheel with an electrical motor. • Hold...

...Paete is a fourth class municipality in the province of laguna. Holy week in paete Paete's most spectacular celebration takes place during Holy Week. It begins on Palm Sunday with the re-enactment of Christ's triumphant entry into Jerusalam. The short procession starts at the Ermita Chapel where the priest blesses the palaspas (palm branch) of the faithful. The participants then slowly move to the church as manangs (religious women) put their balabal (shawl) on the street for the priest to walk through. This custom is called payapak. A mass is held and afterwards the 16th-century statue of the Dead Body of Christ, or Señor Sepulkro to Paeteños, is brought home to its recamadero (owner and keeper of said image). The images are owned by individual families and are passed down to succeeding generations. For five days leading to Good Friday, the faithful kiss the exposed hands and feet of the Señor Sepulkro. On Holy Wednesday, a procession is held with Paete's 53 images of Christ's Passion and Ministry on display. The procession goes through the town's narrow streets en route to the church. It stops three times to give way to the Salubong (meeting) which depicts three scenes of Jesus' passion and in which Paete's "moving saints" take part. These are: the meeting of Christ and Mary, held at the church patio; the wiping of Jesus' face by Veronica, which takes place at Plaza Edesan; and finally, the encounter between Mary and Veronica where the latter shows the miraculous imprints...

...Virgin of Peñafrancia and South Border claimed that Translacion is a spectacle where in people from the Bicol region led by the church and the government and encouraged further by the media participate with the goal of the formation of a regional unity. In this activity, the image of the Blessed Virgin is carried on their shoulders by a congregation of sunburned and barefooted males known as voyadores from the Basilica to the Naga Cathedral. It is being practiced that those who shall carry the Virgin wear a different color than the other devotees joining the procession. It is also a belief that a woman should not go near the pagoda (where the Virgin stays as it is being carried). In other words, women are not allowed to participate in carrying the image. Also, there is such a belief by the Bicolanos that the presence of a woman near the pagoda indicates a disaster or an accident. The color coding process during the procession is but a screaming evidence of social divisions. Those who are carrying the Virgin on their shoulders wear a different color from the others to show that they are the lucky ones entitled to the privilege of holding the sacred image which many other devotees do not have the benefit to even touch. It also exhibits the idea of a patriarchal society where males dominate the crowd. Moreover, zooming in our gaze to the pagoda only, we already see a clear division. Though males were those privileged to touch and carry the Virgin, not every male devotee experience...
