History

• Presenting: Alan & James
• Alan: I missed his presentation. Although I did speak with him after class and borrowed the presentation disc to view later.

James: Presentation on 'Burnett Dream'. Drawing on his childhood background with Catholicism and his historical interest in the early church and Gnostacism, referencing the back-story of christianity, "the story behind the story" and his personal dreams.

Elevating the dream to scripture, by placing the dream description in the format of illuminated manuscripts, with glossia -actually hyper text.

James writes that_reliquaries are a type of shrine developed in the early church to absorb the sympathetic magic rituals of pre-Christian paganism._
