The human body is the locus of meaning, personhood, and our sense of the possibility of sanctity. The desecration of the human corpse is a matter of universal revulsion, taboo in virtually all human cultures. Not least for this reason, the unburied corpse quickly becomes a focal point of political salience, on the one hand seeming to express the contempt of state power toward the basic claims of human dignity--while on the other hand simultaneously bringing into question the very legitimacy of that power. In Unburied Bodies: Subversive Corpses and the Authority of the Dead, James Martel surveys the power of the body left unburied to motivate resistance, to bring forth a radically new form of agency, and to undercut the authority claims made by state power. Ranging across time and space from the battlefields of ancient Thebes to the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, and taking in perspectives from such writers as Sophocles, Machiavelli, Walter Benjamin, Hannah Arendt, James Baldwin, Judith Butler, Thomas Lacqueur, and Bonnie Honig, Martel asks why the presence of the abandoned corpse can be seen by both authorities and protesters as a source of power, and how those who have been abandoned or marginalized by structures of authority can find in a lifeless body fellow accomplices in their aspirations for dignity and humanity.

Historical burial grounds are an enormous archaeological resource and have the potential to inform studies not only of demography or the history of disease and mortality, but also histories of the body, of religious and other beliefs about death, of changing social relationships, values and aspirations. In the last decades, the intensive urban development and a widespread legal requirement to undertake archaeological excavation of historical sites has led to a massive increase in the number of post-medieval graveyards and burial places that have been subjected to archaeological investigation. The archaeology of the more recent periods, which are comparatively well documented, is no less interesting and important an area of study than prehistoric periods. This volume offers a range of case studies and reflections on aspects of death and burial in post-medieval Europe. Looking at burial goods, the spatial aspects of cemetery organisation and the way that the living interact with the dead, contributors who have worked on sites from Central, North and West Europe present some of their evidence and ideas. The coherence of the volume is maintained by a substantial integrative introduction by the editor, Professor Sarah Tarlow. "This book is a 'first' and a necessary one. It is an exciting and far-ranging collection of studies on post-medieval burial practice across Europe that will most certainly be used extensively" Professor Howard Williams

Le cimetière, tel nous les connaissons aujourd’hui, n’a pas toujours existé : il est apparu au tournant des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles dans l’Europe méridionale. Sa création et son organisation répondaient aux impératifs hygiénistes portés par les Lumières, et que le décret du 23 prairial an XII (1804) a érigés comme normes d’abord en France, puis dans l’Europe napoléonienne. Ce livre retrace pour la première fois la genèse et l’évolution du cimetière contemporain et de la législation funéraire en France du XVIIIe siècle à nos jours. Il restitue les enjeux politiques, religieux et sanitaires de son « invention » et de sa gestion, les transformations de son usage, reflet des sensibilités nouvelles à l’égard de la mort et du développement du « culte » du souvenir des morts. Il établit aussi un panorama de ses avatars en Europe (Italie, Espagne, Portugal, Belgique, Angleterre…), offrant ainsi une chronologie fine des réformes funéraires et du rôle qu’y joue le modèle français. A ce titre, et par la reproduction en annexe des principaux textes de loi français sur les cimetières entre 1776 et 1904, il devrait constituer une référence pour l’histoire des pratiques mortuaires et mémorielles modernes.

Hacia finales del siglo XVIII, un selecto grupo de acaudalados se interesó por conseguir algún título de nobleza con el fin de aumentar su honor y prestigio, valores de una alta estima en aquélla época. De esta forma, la sociedad novohispana quedó coronada con condes y marqueses que impusieron un código de comportamiento que fue imitado y reproducido por el resto de los grupos sociales. Esta es una historia que se basa, principalmente, en las últimas voluntades de estos hombres y mujeres: los testamentos. Su rigor científico llamará la atención entre los lectores por su novedad, por la ambición de su planteamiento, por su acertado enfoque crítico, por su estilo narrativo y por sus valiosos aportes a la historia social y de las mentalidades en México. El interés de esta historia reside principalmente en que tiende un puente entre la formación de la nobleza y el ritual que rodeaba a la muerte.

Whether reburied, concealed, stored, abandoned or publicly displayed, human remains raise a vast number of questions regarding social, legal and ethical uses by communities, public institutions and civil society organisations. This work presents a ground-breaking account of the treatment and commemoration of dead bodies resulting from incidents of genocide and mass violence. Through a range of international case studies across multiple continents, it explores the effect of dead bodies or body parts on various political, cultural and religious practices. Multidisciplinary in scope, it will appeal to readers interested in this crucial phase of post-conflict reconciliation, including students and researchers of history, anthropology, sociology, archaeology, law, politics and modern warfare.

Rainer Hugener Books of Life. Commemorating the Dead in Medieval SwitzerlandHow were religious practices of remembering the deceased connected to the admin-istration of landholdings and the writing of history in the Middle Ages? Based on intertextual relations between necrologies, rent-rolls, and chronicles from Swiss regions, this study shows how commemorating the dead required new techniques of writing that were not only meant to promote salvation, but also helped enforce local lordship. By celebrating the anniversaries of battles and other crucial events, the authorities of the Swiss cantons propagated a historical concept of identity which continues to influence Switzerland's self-perception even today. Rainer Hugener emphasizes the role of religious commemoration for the development of "modern" bureaucracy and offers a new perspective on the founding myths of the Swiss Con-federacy. The book is completed by an exhaustive catalogue of more than 1000 pre-modern necrologies from Swiss monasteries, cathedrals, collegiate and parish churches.
