Confronté au décès d’un être cher, chacun d’entre-nous a appris à se demander s’il effectue correctement son « travail du deuil » et à envisager l’aide d’un psychologue. Cependant, certains morts ne peuvent se transformer en simples souvenirs, comme y invite la norme sociale. En rencontrant des personnes qui avaient envie de témoigner non pas sur leur deuil, mais sur « les relations qu’elles entretiennent avec un défunt », l’auteur s’est intéressé à ces morts qui ne passent pas et qui contraignent les vivants à se demander : « que veut-il ? Que faire pour lui ? ». En expliquant comment le christianisme puis l’idéal laïc ont organisé les relations entre les vivants et les morts au cours de l’histoire, comment est né le concept freudien de travail de deuil, ce que nous apprend l’anthropologie des rites funéraires, l’auteur donne alors un sens nouveau aux réponses rituelles ou profanes que les témoins lui ont racontées.

This bold and wide-ranging study takes a fresh look at a controversial question: what do the acts and shows of grief performed in early modern drama tell us about the religious culture of the world in which they were historically staged? Many rites of mourning shown in the theatre held Catholic resonances, but how did such memories of traditional worship work in post-Reformation England? Drawing on performance studies, this book provides detailed readings of major playtexts, Shakespearean and others, to explore the politics, pathologies, physiologies and parodies of mourning.

Strange Harvest illuminates the wondrous yet disquieting medical realm of organ transplantation by drawing on the voices of those most deeply involved: transplant recipients, clinical specialists, and the surviving kin of deceased organ donors. In this rich and deeply engaging ethnographic study, anthropologist Lesley Sharp explores how these parties think about death, loss, and mourning, especially in light of medical taboos surrounding donor anonymity. As Sharp argues, new forms of embodied intimacy arise in response, and the riveting insights gleaned from her interviews, observations, and descriptions of donor memorials and other transplant events expose how patients and donor families make sense of the transfer of body parts from the dead to the living. For instance, all must grapple with complex yet contradictory clinical assertions of death as easily detectable and absolute; nevertheless, transplants are regularly celebrated as forms of rebirth, and donors as living on in others' bodies. New forms of sociality arise, too: recipients and donors' relatives may defy sanctions against communication, and through personal encounters strangers are transformed into kin. Sharp also considers current experimental research efforts to develop alternative sources for human parts, with prototypes ranging from genetically altered animals to sophisticated mechanical devices. These future trajectories generate intriguing responses among both scientists and transplant recipients as they consider how such alternatives might reshape established-yet unusual-forms of embodied intimacy.
