The contributors examine innovative and enduring ideas and practices of death, which reflect and constitute changing patterns of social relationships, memorialisation, and the afterlife. This cross-cultural study examines the lived experiences of men and women from societies across the globe with diverse religious heritages and secular value systems. The book demonstrates that mortuary practices are not fixed forms, but rather dynamic processes negotiated by the dying, the bereaved, funeral experts, and public institutions. In addition to offering a new theoretical perspective on the anthropology of death, this work provides a rich resource for readers interested in human responses to mortality: the one certainty of human existence. | | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | | 关键词 | Death and societal relationships; mortuary rites; Death customs; History of death; Bereavement; funerals; | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-52365-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-84886-0 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-52365-1 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2017 |
