Mortal Remains introduces new methods of analyzing death and its crucial meanings over a 240-year period, from 1620 to 1860, untangling its influence on other forms of cultural expression, from religion and politics to race relations and the nature of war. In this volume historians and literary scholars join forces to explore how, in a medically primitive and politically evolving environment, mortality became an issue that was inseparable from national self-definition.Attempting to make sense of their suffering and loss while imagining a future of cultural permanence and spiritual value, early Americans crafted metaphors of death in particular ways that have shaped the national mythology. As the authors show, the American fascination with murder, dismembered bodies, and scenes of death, the allure of angel sightings, the rural cemetery movement, and the enshrinement of George Washington as a saintly father, constituted a distinct sensibility. Moreover, by exploring the idea of the vanishing Indian and the brutality of slavery, the authors demonstrate how a culture of violence and death had an early effect on the American collective consciousness.Mortal Remains draws on a range of primary sources-from personal diaries and public addresses, satire and accounts of sensational crime-and makes a needed contribution to neglected aspects of cultural history. It illustrates the profound ways in which experiences with death and the imagery associated with it became enmeshed in American society, politics, and culture.

Clothing, jewelry, animal remains, ceramics, coins, and weaponry are among the artifacts that have been discovered in graves in Gaul dating from the fifth to eighth century. Those who have unearthed them, from the middle ages to the present, have speculated widely on their meaning. This authoritative book makes a major contribution to the study of death and burial in late antique and early medieval society with its long overdue systematic discussion of this mortuary evidence. Tracing the history of Merovingian archaeology within its cultural and intellectual context for the first time, Effros exposes biases and prejudices that have colored previous interpretations of these burial sites and assesses what contemporary archaeology can tell us about the Frankish kingdoms. Working at the intersection of history and archaeology, and drawing from anthropology and art history, Effros emphasizes in particular the effects of historical events and intellectual movements on French and German antiquarian and archaeological studies of these grave goods. Her discussion traces the evolution of concepts of nationhood, race, and culture and shows how these concepts helped shape an understanding of the past. Effros then turns to contemporary multidisciplinary methodologies and finds that we are still limited by the types of information that can be readily gleaned from physical and written sources of Merovingian graves. For example, since material evidence found in the graves of elite families and particularly elite men is more plentiful and noteworthy, mortuary goods do not speak as directly to the conditions in which women and the poor lived. The clarity and sophistication with which Effros discusses the methods and results of European archaeology is a compelling demonstration of the impact of nationalist ideologies on a single discipline and of the struggle toward the more pluralistic vision that has developed in the post-war years.

Il peut paraître incongru de parler encore de l'autopsie au XXIe siècle, à l'heure où la puissance de la biotechnologie permet le clonage humain, la reproduction in vitro ou l'analyse du génome. Cette pratique semble désuète : symbole de curiosité et d'audace scientifique à la Renaissance, elle a connu son apogée au XIXe siècle, avec la méthode anatomo-clinique. Au XXe siècle ses usages les plus connus du public et des médecins non-spécialistes ont été d'une part la dissection anatomique, leçon parfois douloureusement perçue comme un rite initiatique, et bien sûr, l'autopsie médico-légale. Mais que sait-on au juste de la place encore indispensable qu'occupent aujourd'hui les prélèvements post-mortem dans la recherche médicale, en particulier dans le domaine des neurosciences ? Juger l'autopsie renvoie à notre imaginaire du corps et de la mort, à de profondes réticences psychologiques, sans doute aussi à des tabous sociaux ou religieux, ainsi qu'à l'image d'un certain pouvoir médical, aujourd'hui discrédité. Au-delà du déni de la mort si marqué dans notre société, une relation de confiance et d'information entre les soignants, les chercheurs, les patients et leur entourage, peut accompagner une démarche de don d'organe pour la recherche. Le point de vue n'est pas ici celui d'un observateur extérieur : cet ouvrage est le témoignage d'un médecin et chercheur confronté quotidiennement à ces questions.
