Macfarlane, Walter & Ross, 2003. Paperback. Very Good. When her daughter's fiance died suddenly, Katherine Ashenburg was surprised to see how, amid the expected ceremonies of modern mourning, her daughter intuitively re-created the traditional rituals of grief, even those of which she was entirely ignorant. Intrigued, Ashenburg began to explore the rich and endlessly inventive choreographies different cultures have devised to mark a universal and deeply felt condition. Her travels and researches explored familiar customs like the Jewish ritual of sitting shiva and Mexico's Day of the Dead and, further afield, introduced her to Hindu funeral pyres, the "merry wakes" of Newfoundland, and other unexpected customs. She also journeyed back in time to uncover the changing face of mourning from the Roman era to the present, paying particular attention to the hair bracelets, deathbed portraits, and elaborate rites of those mourners par excellence, the Victorians. The Mourner's Dance uncovers the psychological wisdom embedded in these customs ancient and new, and the value of ritual in restoring selves, and communities, unraveled by loss. It is about how, in the wake of death, we go on living.

Contemporary North American culture favors a mourning that is private and virtually invisible. But, as Ashenburg reveals, the grieving customs of the past were so integrated into daily life that ultimately they gave rise to public parks and ready-to-wear clothing. Our keepsakes, prescribed bereavement garb, resting places, mourning etiquette; and ways of commiserating from wakes to Internet support groups remain clues to our most elemental beliefs, and our most effective means of restoring selves, and communities, unraveled by loss.Soort: Met illustraties;Taal: Engels;Afmetingen: 23x203x133 mm;Gewicht: 363,00 gram;Verschijningsdatum: september 2004;Druk: 1;ISBN10: 0865477051;ISBN13: 9780865477056; Engelstalig | Binding Unknown | 2004.
