Fash Molly Fierer-Donaldson To Be Born an Ancestor: Death and the Afterlife Among the Classic Period Royal Tombs of Copán, Honduras Abstract This goal of this dissertation is to participate in the study of funerary ritual for the Classic Maya. My approach evaluates comparatively the seven royal mortuary contexts from the city of Copán, Honduras during the Classic period from the early 5th century to early 9th century CE, in order to draw out the ideas that infused the ritual behavior. It is concerned with analyzing the tomb as a ritual context that is a materialization of a community's ideas about death and the afterlife. The heart is the data gathered from my participation in the excavation of the Classic period royal tomb called the Oropéndola Tomb.

  • Strategies for Encountering the Sacred in Everyday Life for Individuals, Friends, & Families
    St Peter’s Episcopal church Strategies for Encountering the Sacred in Everyday Life for Individuals, Friends, & Families A Note about this Booklet Dear Friends, When we gather for corporate worship on Sundays, we become what we already are: the Body of Christ. In worship, we are brought into communion with God and one another, and sent forth to live his way of love, for the life of the world. Gathering with friend and stranger alike, we remember who and whose we are. We strengthen our connection to God and our neighbor. This is the most central act of Christian worship, and nothing can replace it. In addition to the indispensable ways the community continues to gather virtually, in these days of social distance it is ever more important to rediscover ways to pray and praise in the fle sh. The Acts of the Apostles teaches us that even in the earliest days of the Church, followers of Jesus did two things, they worshiped in the Temple (for us, the Church) and they worshiped at home: And every day in the temple and at home they did not cease to teach and proclaim Jesus as the Messiah (Acts 5:42). Early Christians, drawing on the paerns of Jewish observance, integrated faith into every aspect of daily living. Throughout the ages, Christians have practiced their faith, both by gathering together for the renewal of shared sacramental life and as individuals and in smaller fellowships of friends and family. These twin practices of encountering the Divine strengthen and enrich one another. O ur curr en t moment inv ites us to r ediscover th e p ractice of fa ith in our hom es and t o conside r more int en tionally the da ily rhythm o f our so uls.

  • Governing the Dead
    HUMAN REMAINS AND VIOLENCE Governing the dead Governing the dead Governing ‘This is an important, original, diverse collection of studies that the dead broach the boundaries and intersections between the private and the public, between grieving and governing, and between nature, Sovereignty and the politics humanity and the state.’ Ben Kiernan, Director, Genocide Studies Program, Yale University, and of dead bodies author of Blood and Soil Edited by FINN STEPPUTAT In most of the world, the transition from life to death is a time when states and other forms of authority are intensely present. Focusing on the relationship between bodies and sovereignty, Governing the dead explores how, by whom and with what effects dead bodies are governed in conflict and non-conflict contexts across the world, including an analysis of the struggles over ‘proper burials’; the repatriation of dead migrants; abandoned cemeteries; exhumations; ‘feminicide’; the protection of dead drug-lords; and the disappeared dead. Mapping theoretical and empirical terrains, this volume suggests that the management of dead bodies is related to the constitution and membership of states and non-state entities that claim autonomy and impunity. ST This volume is a significant contribution to studies of death, E PPUTAt ( PPUTAt power and politics. It will be useful at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in anthropology, sociology, law, criminology, political science, international relations, genocide studies, history, cultural studies and philosophy.

  • A Study of Death-Related Practices and Talks in a Chinese Muslim Village
    Space of mortality: a study of death-related practices and talks in a Chinese Muslim village Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Yuanhao Zhao, Ph.D. Graduate Program in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Sabra J. Webber, Advisor Dorothy Noyes Mark Bender Morgan Liu Copyright by Yuanhao Zhao 2017 Abstract Because of the strong emotions and sudden ruptures caused by death in a community, expressive culture relating to death offers special contexts to study ethnic culture, social structures, and inequality. This dissertation analyzes death-related folklore, specifically, talks and practices about death, the deceased, funerals, and lethal supernatural powers in an ethnic Hui (Chinese Muslim) village in China. Analysis is based on my ethnographic fieldwork conducted from Summer 2014 to Summer 2015 in a Hui village located in Shandong Province. Using a folkloristic approach, I conduct qualitative study by analyzing folk narratives and beliefs in their spatiotemporal specificities. I interpret “death” as a power that produces specific social spaces shaping how different social agents interact. I argue that death related genres of expressive culture form social spaces where different social norm and hierarchies are highlighted and become susceptible to challenges. In these spaces, tensions between social groups are more open to discussion, and various social actors are mobilized to interact in order to confirm or contest, stabilize or liquidize certain social structure, be it of a family, a neighborhood, a community, a religious institute, or an ethnic group.
