Abstract

The first-ever critical anthology of the death arts in Renaissance England, this book draws together over 60 extracts and 20 illustrations to establish and analyse how people grappled with mortality in the 16th and 17th centuries. As well as providing a comprehensive resource of annotated and modernized excerpts, this engaging study includes commentary on authors and overall texts, discussions of how each excerpt is constitutive and expressive of the death arts, and suggestions for further reading. The extended Introduction takes into account death's intersections with print, gender, sex, and race, surveying the period's far-reaching preoccupation with, and anticipatory reflection upon, the cessation of life. For researchers, instructors, and students interested in medieval and early modern history and literature, the Reformation, memory studies, book history, and print culture, this indispensable resource provides at once an entry point into the field of early modern death studies and a springboard for further research.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

Dans cet ouvrage, les architectes du bureau belge a2o mettent en lumière leur approche de l'architecture axée sur la recherche et la mise en relation à travers une lecture évocatrice de leur dernier projet, le complexe de crématorium baptisé "Statie Stuifduin", situé à Lommel, en Belgique. La maîtrise de l'ouvrage s'illustre dans la combinaison d'une architecture sobre et d'un paysage recréé au sein d'une successivité d'espaces. L'harmonie ainsi composée invite à une déambulation processionnaire, propice à la réflexion et à la relecture des codes intemporels et des attitudes mouvantes vis-à-vis de la mort, des rites d'adieu et de la traversée de l'existence. En l'absence de symboles religieux explicites, la puissance universelle de la nature remplace le sacré et l'esprit se plonge dans la thématique romantique de la quête de sens au sein d'une nature redécouverte. Ce faisant, Stadie Stuifduin transcende les particularités d'un édifice avec un fil conducteur : qu'est-ce que l'architecture funéraire contemporaine ? In this book, Belgian architecture office a2o presents an investigative and connecting approach to architecture through an evocative reading of their latest project, crematorium Statie Stuifduin in Lommel, Belgium. This thoughtful yet radical design blends architecture and landscape in a succession of spaces that reveals a deep understanding of both the fundamental aspects of and changing attitudes towards death, burial and the journey of life. Rather than through explicit religious symbols, the sacral is represented by the universal power of nature and by Romantic notions of finding meaning in rediscovered nature. In doing so, Statie Stuifduin goes beyond the specifics of the building to explore new visions of what contemporary funeral architecture can be.
