Heritage Ethics and Human Rights of the Dead
genealogy Article Heritage Ethics and Human Rights of the Dead Kelsey Perreault ID The Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art, and Culture, Carleton University, Ottawa, ON K1S 5B6, Canada; [email protected] Received: 1 May 2018; Accepted: 13 July 2018; Published: 17 July 2018 Abstract: Thomas Laqueur argues that the work of the dead is carried out through the living and through those who remember, honour, and mourn. Further, he maintains that the brutal or careless disposal of the corpse “is an attack of extreme violence”. To treat the dead body as if it does not matter or as if it were ordinary organic matter would be to deny its humanity. From Laqueur’s point of view, it is inferred that the dead are believed to have rights and dignities that are upheld through the rituals, practices, and beliefs of the living. The dead have always held a place in the space of the living, whether that space has been material and visible, or intangible and out of sight. This paper considers ossuaries as a key site for investigating the relationships between the living and dead. Holding the bones of hundreds or even thousands of bodies, ossuaries represent an important tradition in the cultural history of the dead. Ossuaries are culturally constituted and have taken many forms across the globe, although this research focuses predominantly on Western European ossuary practices and North American Indigenous ossuaries. This paper will examine two case studies, the Sedlec Ossuary (Kutna Hora, Czech Republic) and Taber Hill Ossuary (Toronto, ON, Canada), to think through the rights of the dead at heritage sites. -

Printed commentary – RETURN please! Cemetery Church of All Saints with the OSSUARY Dear visitors, you are at a memorial site, a final resting place of 60,000 people. On behalf of the Roman Catholic parish - an administrator of the site, we thank you for keeping the reverence and respect in the area of the cemetery. Cemetery Church was a part of the oldest Cistercian monastery in Bohemia founded in 1142. Also a unique Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady and St. John the Baptist near by (a UNESCO-listed site since 1995) and a former baroque convent (a seat of a tobacco factory since 1812) were preserved. Church of All Saints was built in the late 14th century and is an important monument of the High Gothic style. Architecturally it is a Gothic charnel house with an upper chapel and an underground Ossuary. According to the legend, one of the local abbots was sent by the Czech king to Jerusalem around the year 1278. The Abbot brought a handful of soil from Golgotha and scattered it over the Sedlec cemetery. The soil from the Holy Land was used for consecrating and healing. Also people from Europe desired to be buried in Sedlec. (Similar Holy fields were also in e. g. Rome, Pisa or Paris). The cemetery was considerably extended during great epidemics in 14th century - 30,000 deceased were buried there. In the spring of 1421 the Hussite troops captured Kutná Hora. They also attacked Sedlec, plundered and burnt the cathedral and the monastery. The cemetery Church of All Saints was also devastated. -

Rainer Maria Rilke described his birthplace, as “a vast and rich of epic of architecture”, and Goethe labeled it “the most beautiful jewel in the Bohemian crown”. The 19th-century Czech writer and journalist Jan Neruda, whose characteristically humorous literary depictions of Prague are still popular with readers today, claimed that “there is no other town to rival Prague in beauty”. The city of 100 spires, “Golden Prague” a jewel in the heart of the new Europe.
