ISBN: 9780333638637 / Twarda / 1997 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The taboo on death is at last breaking down.

Media treatment of the bereaved, especially after disasters, has attracted some adverse criticism, yet after the decline of traditional customs of mourning, people seek new models of acceptable behaviour at a time of death. The book argues that attitudes to death and to disposal are culturally formed and examines...

Contemporary Issues in the Sociology of Death, Dying and Disposal
ISBN: 9781349243051 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book utilises a dynamic analysis of mortality to acknowledge shifts of emphasis in cultural and religious traditions. A central concern is the diversity of representations of death to be found within the varying cultural, religious, medical and legal systems of contemporary western societies. Since the construction of death mores has social implications, a major element of the book is an examination of the way in which groups and individuals employ specific representations of mortality in order to generate meaning and purpose for life and death.

The Unknown Country: Death in Australia, Britain and the USA
ISBN: 9781349255955 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. In a strategy deliberately counter to many earlier texts which focus on social aspects of death and dying this book will not examine death through the social prism of US or British culture alone. Drawing only on material from a single society gives readers the misleading impression of a universal experience. As a text in the sociology of death and dying this volume examines culture-specific images and experiences of death in three major western societies - Australia, Britain and the USA.

Beyond the Body : Death and Social Identity
ISBN: 9780415182928 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This text provides an approach to death, dying and bereavement, and the sociology of the body. The authors challenge existing theories that put the body at the centre of identity. They go beyond the body to highlight the persistence of self-identity even when the body itself has been disposed of or is missing. Chapters draw together a wide range of empirical data, including cross-cultural case studies and fieldwork to examine both the management of the corpse and the construction of the soul or spirit by focusing on the work of: undertakers; embalmers; coroners; clergy; clairvoyants;...
