Rite, Flesh, and Stone
Vanderbilt University Press (Verlag)
978-0-8265-0218-6 (ISBN)
Materials analyzed here-ranging from cinematic and literary fictions, to historical archives and anthropological and ethnographic sources-make explicit a dynamic scenario where actors embody a variety of positions towards death and dying, the political production of mortality, and the commemoration of the dead. Ultimately, the goal of this volume is to chart the complex network in which the disenchantment of death and its reenchantment coexist, and biopolitical control over secularized bodies overlaps with new avatars of the religious and non-theistic desires for memorialization and transcendence.
Daniel GarcÍa-Donoso is an associate professor of Spanish at Catholic University of America. Antonio CÓrdoba is an associate professor of modern languages and literatures at Manhattan College.
