  • 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.

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.

  • Ossuarius Eva Bujalka
    Ossuarius Eva Bujalka Sedlec, Kutná Hora, the 1870th year of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The Schwarzenberg family—a family of Franconian and Bohemian aristocrats—has commissioned Czech woodcarver František Rint with an intriguing task. See these bones lying here in the Sedlec Ossuary? See these bones, organized by a sixteenth-century, half-blind monk? See these bones? Make something of these bones. Look at the Church of the Assumption of Our Lady and Saint John the Baptist. Look there at the bejeweled and clothed relics of the saints. But do not bejewel or clothe these bones. No. Instead, make something of these bones. And Rint, quite literally, makes something of them. But Rint’s craft leads him to produce something altogether different from the winding walls-of-bones pathways of the Catacombs de Paris, different from the ‘archway- altarpiece’ in Faro’s Capela dos Ossos, different, also, from the circular geometric bone-designs at Lima’s Convento de San Francisco catacombs, different, also, from the ornate bone- adornments of Rome’s Santa Maria della Concenzione dei Cappuccini crypt. It is possible that no one would have ever heard of František Rint or his crafts had he not, rather fortuitously, been commissioned to further elaborate on the work of his predecessors at the Kostnice v Sedleci. There is little remaining documentation of his employment there, and even less about his life and work. When Karl Joseph Adolf von Schwarzenberg hired him for the task, Rint was met with what had already been eight-hundred years of death—a veritable history of decay.

  • Soulsabbath.Pdf
    SOUL SABBATH SYNOPSIS Even as a child, Mieszko’s parents knew there was something not quite right about the boy, and when they saw him drawing a picture of a woman with wolf-like characteristics, they were convinced he was “unsound” and handed him over to the local Benedictine monastery, abandoning him forever. Mieszko would spend the rest of his life in that monastery until one day he simply vanished without a trace. Though he took his vows very seriously, he could no longer maintain his silence when an epiphany came to him that certain scriptures were not gospel at all – an offense that exposed him as a heretic. Mieszko’s revelation concerned the redemption of mankind, and such heresy shook the monastery to its very foundation. Though this was a crime punishable by death, Mieszko was able to bargain for his life, but it could be argued that the punishment delivered was, in fact, worse than death. The bricks were gathered, the mortar poured, and Mieszko was confined in the tiny scriptorium and assigned the task of scribing the greatest book of his time – The Codex Gigas. Even as Mieszko dropped to his knees to enter the tomb, he could not repent of the truth he had been shown, and he began the monumental chore, not to find forgiveness, but to pay homage to his convictions. Although he was writing possessed, Mieszko knew in his heart that he could never complete this impossible task alone – not in his current form. Still, he labored, and with each stroke of the quill, he became more a part of the book, until he was absorbed into the very book itself.

  • 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.
