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.

Het requiem spreekt tot de verbeelding. Ontstaan uit de gregoriaanse dodenmis, heeft het requiem heel wat grote componisten geïnspireerd tot het schrijven van prachtige muziek. In "Dies irae" wordt aan de hand van 25 belangrijke werken een overzicht geboden van de geschiedenis van het westerse requiem. Naast bekende werken van Mozart, Verdi, Brahms, Faure en Britten komen ook de oude muziek van onder meer Orlandus Lassus en meer recente werken van componisten als Kurt Weill en Andrew Lloyd Webber aan bod. Na een toegankelijke inleiding over de opbouw en de theologische betekenis van het requiem als 'genre', wordt elk werk steeds gesitueerd in de (muziek)historische context en het oeuvre van de componist.
