I wasn’t even sure where to start the March Director’s Note since so much of the Death World community spent the last year documenting and writing about the COVID- 19 pandemic. Indeed, many of us will continue to spend time this way and will write about this past year for many decades to come. Books. Ph.D.’s. Seminars. Films. Songs. Arguments over Memorials. Special Edited Collections. University Chairs. Government Reviews. All of it. We will see all of it. So let’s set the last year aside, for a moment, and look towards the near future. Our friends and colleagues at Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) are hosting the 15th International Conference on the Social Context of Death, Dying and Disposal (DDD15) Wednesday 1st September – Saturday 4th September 2021 online and I am genuinely looking forward to it. DDD15’s theme is Diversity and Decolonisation and I strongly suggest checking out the conference website. Even though DDD15 will be online this time, it is still an excellent opportunity for those of us working in death and dying to find a community of friends and colleagues. September will also be an opportunity for many of us to reflect with each other on what happened in 2020 and 2021, which I think is important.

  • Towards the End of Tourism?
    International Journal of Safety and Security in Tourism/Hospitality Towards the end of Tourism? Maximiliano E Korstanje Facultad de Ciencias Económicas Towards the end of Tourism? Maximiliano E Korstanje1 The present issue of the International Journal of Safety and Security in Tourism and Hospitality selects three high quality papers authored by well-versed authors as Cyril Peter –from New Zealand- and Peter Tarlow –the United States-. By this end, it is vital to bring reflection on the dangers tourism is now exposed. John Urry –jointly Scot Lash- argued that the end of tourism was not only a question of time, but also the direct result from the process of decentralization, which is proper of a new reflexibility (Lash & Urry 1993). Tim Gale has adamantly interrogated on the end of tourism as a multiple and complex landscape where the inflation of new risks intersect with the rise of virtual reality (Gale 2008; 2009). I have theorized in earlier works as Terrorism, Tourism and the end of Hospitality in the West (Korstanje, 2017) and Mobilities Paradox, a Critical Analysis (2018) on the grim future of hospitality, as an ancient rite of passage and tourism in the years to come. Per my viewpoint, Western civilization expanded worldwide by subordinated some peripheral cultures, but in so doing, a new emergent archetype of the alterity was created. The other was considered from a paternalist way, emulating the ideal of “noble savage” where Europeaness situated as the top of a civilizatory pyramid. Subordinated to the European culture, natives represented the origins of Europe, which evolved through decades of progress towards more reified forms of life.

  • Centre for Death & Society Newsletter Director's Note
    Centre for Death & Society Newsletter Director's Note - CDAS News - D&D Community News Events - Call for Papers - Jobs&Study - Calendar Director's Note This essay was first published in the November 2016 issue of Bath Magazine and appeared in the December 2016 CDAS newsletter. I continue to receive e-mail messages about it from both members of the general public and former students so I decided to re-run it this year as a means of acknowledging the hard work the students in Sociology of Death 2017 put in. My entire life has been spent around death, dying, and dead bodies. And when I say entire, I mean from before I was born to this very second. I grew up in the American funeral industry, where my father, Ron Troyer, was a funeral director for three decades. Indeed, some of my earliest childhood memories are of bodies in caskets coupled with my parents explaining what ‘dead’ meant. Through a series of intellectual twists during my postgraduate education, my research focused on the relationship between the dead body and technology. In 2008 I accepted a post in the University of Bath’s Centre for Death and Society (CDAS), the world’s first and only interdisciplinary research Centre dedicated to exploring the intersections between death, dying, and the dead body. CDAS was founded in 2005 and in June 2015 celebrated ten years of world-class research, public engagement, and educational work as a death and dying studies hub. What intrigues me most about the Centre for Death and Society’s public engagement work is that right now, in October 2016, death, dying, and dead bodies have never appeared more popular.

  • Keeping the Culture of Death Alive: One Hundred Years of a Japanese American’S Family Mortuary
    genealogy Article Keeping the Culture of Death Alive: One Hundred Years of a Japanese American’s Family Mortuary Precious Yamaguchi Communication Department, Southern Oregon University, Ashland, OR 97520, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-541-552-6241 Received: 4 May 2017; Accepted: 26 June 2017; Published: 29 June 2017 Abstract: This article explores a Japanese American family mortuary and its 100 years of service and involvement with the Japanese American community in Los Angeles through five generations of the Fukui family. The Fukui Mortuary is Los Angeles’s oldest Japanese American family mortuary and has provided the Japanese American community with services relating to death and bereavement for nearly a century. Through autoethnographic and ethnographic methods, this research examines a site within the Japanese American community after World War II where death, ethnicity, nationality and gender intersect. Studying the cultural and traditional options people have to negotiate, participate and engage in one’s cultural practices during a time of death allows us to investigate the structures of power, economics and institutions that are embedded in our histories and societies. Through the mobilization and service of cultural traditions related to death, the Fukui mortuary contributes to the story of Japanese Americans and how ideas of death, religion, gender and ethnicity are situated in community involvement and the genealogy of the Fukui family. Keywords: Japanese American; hybridity; Asian American; death; bereavement; communication; ethnicity; gender; race; ethnography 1. Introduction Two years into my Communication doctoral degree, my father passed away unexpectedly just as the fall semester began. My mother, brother, myself, and all of my family were devastated to say the least.
