Articulate Necrographies

Comparative Perspectives on the Voices and Silences of the Dead

Ebook (EPUB Format)

Going beyond the frameworks of the anthropology of death, Articulate Necrographies offers a dramatic new way of studying the dead and their interactions with the living. Traditional anthropology has tended to dichotomize societies where death speaks from those where death is silent - the latter is deemed scientific and the former religious or magical. The collection introduces the concept of necrography to describe the way death and the dead create their own kinds of biographies in and among the living, and asks what kinds of articulations and silences this in turn produces in the lives of those affected.
