Once the Chicago funeral home received the body, she made a decision that would create a new pathway for how to think about a lynched body. She requested an open coffin and allowed photographs to be taken and published of her dead son\u2019s disfigured body.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Tired of all your friends talking about the Enlightenment as if it were the very realization of paradise on earth? So is Vincenzo Ferrone, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.prospectmagazine.co.uk\/arts-and-books\/breaking-the-enlightenment-spell-2\" target=\"_blank\">a historian aiming to puncture the era\u2019s inflated reputation<\/a>\u2014and to kill a few centaurs along the way: \u201cEvery attempt to define an epoch\u2014the age of steam, say, or the age of empire, or the age of the internet\u2014involves making a link between two different registers: on the one hand a specific kind of activity, and on the other a stretch of historical time. As far as Ferrone is concerned, however, the idea of the Enlightenment is unique because it yokes a period not with something real but with a set of ideals: philosophical notions of truth, virtue and knowledge \u2026 the Enlightenment is another of [philosophers\u2019] high-flown fictions, and when the historians took it over they had no inkling of the trouble they were getting into. It would prove to be a philosophical Trojan horse, or poisoned chalice, and Ferrone repeatedly denounces it as an <em>ircocervo<\/em>\u2014a monstrous hybrid of goat and stag, or, as his translator would have it, a \u2018centaur.\u2019 He then sets out to \u2018break the spell of the centaur\u2019 by documenting the damage it has done.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cMaybe Oxford is just full of dull old farts who only vote for the obvious. I don\u2019t think they have anything to be proud of here.\u201d Simon Armitage has been voted Oxford\u2019s new Professor of Poetry, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/uknews\/11687586\/simon-armitage-oxford-professor-of-poetry.html\" target=\"_blank\">not everyone is happy about it<\/a>. (Spoiler alert: some people are actively <em>unhappy<\/em> about it.) The post dates to the nineteenth century; professors emeritus include W. H.
