The book is based on long-term ethnographic research in the Polish-Belarusian borderland. It examines the dynamics of symbolic boundaries between the Catholic and Orthodox believers in their everyday lives. By analyzing the space of local cemeteries, rituals, and attitudes related to death, eating practices, and food sharing, the author points to the changing sense of ethnic identity and the feeling of familiarity and otherness. Confessionally mixed neighborhoods and families enable different forms of religious bivalency and become a crucial factor in bridging and crossing ethnic boundaries. Socio-cultural norms and social relations shape the ethnic identity of the borderland's residents more than the institutional frames of both churches.

Scientemente rimossa dalla cultura oggi dominante, nell'Italia e nell'Europa del tardo medioevo e della prima età moderna la morte era 'vissuta' con maggiore confidenza e consapevolezza; e talvolta con serenità. Nei modi del morire e nel pensare la morte e nella ritualità religiosa e civile, così varia e ricca, che la accompagnavano si rispecchiavano i valori e le scelte di ricchi e poveri, di re e contadini, di mercanti e soldati, di nobili e chierici, di donne e uomini. A distanza di qualche decennio dalle grandi ricerche che hanno aperto anche per l'Italia questa prospettiva di indagine (Ariès, Tenenti), il volume percorre attraverso una serie di approfondimenti, penetranti e suggestivi un tema affascinante e complesso, al quale nessun lettore potrà dirsi estraneo.

"In rural China funerals are conducted locally, on village land by village elders. But in urban areas, people have neither land for burials nor elder relatives to conduct funerals. Chinese urbanization, which has picked up drastically in the past decades, has involved the creation of cemeteries, state-run funeral homes, and small private funerary businesses. The Funeral of Mr. Wang examines social change in urbanizing China through the lens of funerals, the funerary industry, and practices of memorialization. It analyzes changes in family life, patterns of urban sociality, transformations in economic relations, the politics of memorialization, and the echoes of these changes in beliefs about the dead and ghosts"-- Provided by publisher.

Étudier les divers aspects de la relation entre mythe et pensée chez les Grecs, de la période archaïque (Homère et Hésiode) à la période hellénistique, en s'efforçant d'éclairer à la fois les continuités et les ruptures au plan des interprétations et de l' "usage" du mythe, tel est l'objet de cet ouvrage. Les essais qui le composent, extraits des travaux de Louis Gernet, Jean-Pierre Vernant, Pierre Vidal-Naquet et Marcel Detienne (les trois derniers étroitement unis par leur dette commune à l'égard du premier et leurs enseignements parallèles à l'École des Hautes Études depuis plus de dix ans), témoignent tous, à l'exception de celui de Louis Gernet, de la volonté des auteurs de réconcilier les conceptions anciennes, issues pour l'essentiel de Durkheim et de ses élèves, avec le structuralisme tel qu'élaboré par Lévi-Strauss. Vu l'énormité du champ, quatre grands domaines ont été choisis : le mythe comme révélateur de la cohérence interne de l'idée que se faisaient les Grecs du divin ; le mythe comme producteur de sens pour l'ensemble de la culture grecque, pour autant qu'il combine en lui des motifs venus des domaines les plus divers de l'existence ; le rapport entre le mythe et certains secteurs mal assurés de la vie sociale, tels que la valeur de certains objets ou les changements de statut des individus ; enfin, le mythe comme donneur de "formes" dans lesquelles enfreindre les règles, à la fois pour confirmer la norme et pour échapper, symboliquement et réellement, aux lois et aux signifiés sociaux dominants. Ce livre s'adresse à tous ceux qui, quelle que soit leur discipline, s'intéressent au mythe et à la société antique.
