# Prophecy of Melkin

The Prophecy of Melkin is a medieval text about an alleged hidden grave of Joseph of Arimathea at Glastonbury in England, containing the Holy Grail. It is contained in a local chronicle (Cronica sive antiquitates Glastoniensis ecclesiae) written by John of Glastonbury in the mid-14th century, who attributes it to an alleged Celtic bard named Melkin, said to have lived "before Merlin". It is thought to have been created in the context of legends that linked Joseph of Arimathea with the mythical Avalon, Glastonbury and the court of King Arthur, which had arisen in England in the mid-13th century.

## Extant sources

The legend may have been partly based on an older narrative of how the discovery of the alleged grave of King Arthur at Glastonbury, in c. 1191, had been foretold by an ancient Welsh bard, mentioned by Gerald of Wales around 1193.
Later references to Melkin are found in a chronicle of John Hardyng in the mid-15th century, and in writings of John Leland in the 16th century. Leland claimed that Melkin was a famous and erudite ancient British writer and a bard, of Welsh origin, and that he was the author of a "History of Britain" (Historiola de Rebus Britannicis), of which Leland had seen ancient fragments in Glastonbury. Other 16th- und 17th-century writers such as John Bale and John Pitts placed Melkin in the mid-6th century, the time associated with King Arthur.
It has been conjectured that the name of Melkin may have been based on that of the 6th-century Welsh king Maelgwn of Gwynedd, who also had a reputation as a bard and prophet.

## Text

A modern English translation of the Latin text of the prophecy, by J. A. Robinson, runs as follows:
Amid these Joseph in marble Of Arimathea by name Hath found perpetual sleep And he lies on a two-forked line Next the south corner of an oratory Fashioned of wattles For the adoring of a mighty Virgin
In his sarcophagus Two cruets, white and silver Filled with blood and sweat Of the Prophet Jesus When his sarcophagus
Shall be found entire, intact In time to come, it shall be seen
And shall be open unto all the world Thenceforth nor water nor the dew of heaven Shall fail the dwellers in that ancient isle For a long while before The day of judgment in Josaphat Open shall these things be And declared to living men.
# Effect of reality

The effect of reality (French: effet de réel) is a textual device identified by Roland Barthes, the purpose of which was to establish literary texts as realistic.

## History

Barthes first suggested this concept in his 1968 essay "The Reality Effect," in which he argues that untheorized descriptive "residues" of the text produce effects of reality through their dissembling of the tripartite sign. In the absence of any signified, Barthes argues, the textual signifiers for "real" objects had for their actual signifieds only the concept of realism itself; further, Barthes suggested that the origins of this textual device came through the development of an "aesthetic finality of language" present in the use of the rhetorical device of ecphrasis in "Alexandrian neo-rhetoric of the second century".
Barthes also showed that this effect of reality was a key problem of historical analysis and writing in that historical writing proclaimed an unproblematic realism that was in fact just this textual device in action. It was this aspect of the effect of reality that Ankersmit showed helped to explain both the evolution of historical enquiry and the problematic textual nature of history.
The concern with realism and the constructed nature of historical and literary facts that both Barthes and Ankersmit expressed is also to be found in the field of Discursive psychology; and Jonathan Potter has analysed similar problems and issues in his "Representing Reality".

# National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance

Founded in 2002, the National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance (NCNR) is a network of individuals and organizations in the United States committed to ending the war in Iraq, using the nonviolent practices and disciplines of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. through nonviolent resistance.
According to its Website, the coalition failed to prevent the start of the Iraq War in March 2003, but it continues "to engage in nonviolent direct action to end the war and the occupation. The group was founded as the Iraq Pledge of Resistance, and in expanding its focus, became the National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance.
"As a group with lots of direct action experience, NCNR has consistently encouraged organizations and individuals to recognize the difference between civil disobedience and civil resistance. We see the difference as being important in the struggle for nonviolent, positive social change."
Instead of breaking unjust laws in order to bring attention to injustice, actions organized and initiated by NCNR focus on highlighting the illegal policies and practices of the government and elected and appointed decision makers. Typically NCNR participants go to court in order to continue to speak out against the unlawful conduct of government officials in pursuing aggressive wars.
Among the largest and most significant of NCNR's acts of civil resistance was the September 26, 2005 action at the White House sidewalk, with Cindy Sheehan, following a major anti-war mobilization. Although United for Peace and Justice joined and promoted this action, it was mostly organized by NCNR.
Other NCNR nonviolent civil resistance actions have included acting with Christian Peace Witness - Iraq in September 2006, and a campaign around funding for the Iraq war with Kathy Kelly's Voices for Creative Nonviolence dubbed the Occupation Project in 2007.
NCNR has a close-knit organizing committee, and typically one convener to help facilitate organizing calls and speak for the network. NCNR's first convener was Gordon Clark. Other peace activists associated with NCNR are Eve Tetaz, Malachy Kilbride and Pete Perry.
