Passage and Passing: Movement, boundary and presence in Neolithic mortuary architecture

3 Citationer (Scopus)

Abstract

Across the world, death seems almost always to result in some form of formal disposal of the dead body. The handling of the dead body is in its own right a cultural site for marking or exploring the ethics, politics and aesthetics of death. As such, mortuary practices often seem to be just as much about the living as they are about the dead (e.g. Hertz 1960; Bloch and Parry 1982; Metcalf and Huntingdon 1991; Hallam and Hockey 2001). In this light, the English colloquialism and euphemism ‘passing’ may appear to broadly describe the journey that the living and the dead will have to go through in order to arrive at some ‘other side’ beyond burial or in death.
