DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Love-Locks of Diana Mrs. Harding slumbered in her private sitting-room beyond the bar - thank the fairies for that, since her hand was sometimes heavy, and Often uncertain in its direction, after her midday meal, Diana remembered with a little shiver. Up in the shuttered room Of the top storey, cool and whitewashed and bare Of all but the most necessary furniture, the guests in the Cosmopolitan slept pleasantly enough under their mosquito curtains, to wake when the sirocco had died down and the listless air was cooled. The guests had, most of them, come off the big transport lying at anchor In the Quarantine Harbour far up the creek. Something had gone wrong with her machinery, and while the necessary repairs were going on, the home ward bound passengers had escaped from their narrow cabins and stifling berths, to the big room of the Sliema hotel, that had once been a palace when the island was ruled by knights in golden armour.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExplores the worldwide popularity of the love-lock as a ritual token of love and commitment by considering its history, symbolism, and heritage. “[T]his is an eminently enjoyable and thorough investigation of a popular phenomenon through the lens of heritage and folk tradition.”—Sara De Nardi, Western Sydney University A padlock is a mundane object, designed to fulfil a specific – and secular – purpose. A contemporary custom has given padlocks new significance. This custom is ‘love-locking’, where padlocks are engraved with names and attached to bridges in declaration of romantic commitment. This custom became popular in the 2000s, and its dissemination was rapid, geographically unbound, and highly divisive, with love-locks emerging in locations as diverse as Paris and Taiwan; New York and Seoul; Melbourne and Moscow. From the introduction: I was distractedly perusing the photo frame aisle, my eyes skimming the generically sentimental stock pictures of happy families smiling at the camera, pretty landscapes, cute pets and couples walking hand-in-hand, when I came across one that jumped out at me.... I recognised the image instantly as a photograph of love-locks: the padlocks that had been appearing en masse on bridges and other public structures on a global scale since the early 2000s. And, having been researching the custom known as lovelocking for about five years at that point, it was with a peculiar sense of pride that I realised love-locks had accomplished the status of a stock image.
