The art of life and death" explores how the world appears to people who have an acute perspective on it: those who are close to death. Based on extensive ethnographic research, Andrew Irving brings to life the lived experiences, imaginative lifeworlds, and existential concerns of persons confronting their own mortality and non-being. Encompassing twenty years of working alongside persons living with HIV/AIDS in New York, Irving documents the radical but often unspoken and unvoiced transformations in perception, knowledge, and understanding that people experience in the face of death. By bringing an "experience-near" ethnographic focus to the streams of inner dialogue, imagination, and aesthetic expression that are central to the experience of illness and everyday life, this monograph offers a theoretical, ethnographic, and methodological contribution to the anthropology of time, finitude, and the human condition. With relevance well-beyond the disciplinary boundaries of anthropology, this book ultimately highlights the challenge of capturing the inner experience of human suffering and hope that affect us all of the trauma of the threat of death and the surprise of continued lif.

Charting a homeward-bound voyage from Bombay to London aboard a sailing ship, 'The Nigger of the 'Narcissus'' (1897) captured the late-Victorian era's maritime obsession and identified the strikingly original talent of Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) as a sea writer in what has proved to be a landmark of sea literature. The Introduction situates the novel in Conrad's career and traces its origins and reception. Explanatory notes illuminate literary and historical references, identify real-life places and indicate Conrad's sources and influences. The essay on the text and the apparatus lay out the history of the work's composition and publication, and detail interventions by Conrad's typists, compositors and editors. Also included are notes explaining literary and historical references, a glossary of nautical terms, illustrations, including maps and pictures of early drafts, and appendixes. This edition of 'The Nigger of the 'Narcissus'' presents the novel and its preface in forms more authoritative than any so far printed, and restores a text that has circulated in defective forms since its original publication.

Wat als je te horen krijgt dat je niet meer zult genezen?Het zal je maar overkomen. Een arts vertelt je dat je nooit meer beter wordt. Hoe blijf je te midden van de wirwar aan emoties overeind? Hoe kun je leven met de voortdurende dreiging van de dood? En hoe kun je jezelf en je naasten op het afscheid voorbereiden? Goedele Van Edom begeleidt al meer dan vijftien jaar mensen tijdens de laatste maanden van hun leven. In dit boek toont ze wat er gebeurt als je te horen krijgt dat je ongeneeslijk en levensbedreigend ziek bent, hoe je in die tijd samen met je naasten kostbare herinneringen kunt verzamelen, en waarom dit zo belangrijk is in het rouwproces. Want niemand wil vergeten worden. Niemand wil voor niets geleefd hebben. Niemand wil zijn geliefden in leegte achterlaten. Het helpt om herinneringen na te laten. Dat kan op verschillende manieren. Nog uitspreken wat voor jou belangrijk is, een doos met tastbare herinneringen maken, briefjes met leuke boodschappen in huis verstoppen, samen lievelingsplekken bezoeken of praktische maatregelen treffen. Bewust bezig zijn met je afscheid kan helpen in je eigen rouwproces, en zal ook voor je nabestaanden van onschatbare waarde zijn.

Quatrième de couverture : "Soigner, animer au coeur de la souffrance et de la période de la fin de vie, non seulement ne va pas de soi, mais peut se révéler parfois traumatisant. Il y a aujourd'hui une réelle "usure" des soignants et des aidants, pour peu que ces derniers négligent une certaine "distance" et "conscience d'être" dans leurs activités. Ne pourraient-ils pas cultiver une juste distance qui ne s'appuierait ni sur une foi religieuse ni sur une croyance, mais bien plutôt sur une réflexion logique conjuguée à des qualités de coeur ? Accompagner le sujet vers son éternité est relativement simple si nous savons expérimenter notre propre éternité, autrement dit nous rendre éternel. Cette mystique existentielle demande un chavirement dans l'Etre, un contact avec notre "lumineux et profond silence". Il n'y a qu'un seul vide, qu'un seul silence qui enveloppe la totalité du réel. Les mots sont impuissants pour décrire cela, seule une "expérience", souvent induite par une pratique, permet d'appréhender cette impensable réalité. Cet ouvrage, structuré en deux parties, peut être considéré comme un manuel pratique. En effet, il propose à l'aidant comme au soignant une approche concrète sur la juste attitude à adopter face à la difficulté d'accompagner la fin de la vie. Il est également le fruit d'une réflexion sur l'épineuse question de la gestion de l'angoisse existentielle de la mort dans nos sociétés."

For all their reputed and professed preoccupation with the afterlife, the Byzantines had no systematic conception of the fate of the soul between death and the Last Judgement. Death and the Afterlife in Byzantium marries for the first time liturgical, theological, literary, and material evidence to investigate a fundamental question: what did the Byzantines believe happened after death? This interdisciplinary study provides an in-depth analysis and synthesis of hagiography, theological treatises, apocryphal texts and liturgical services, as well as images of the fate of the soul in manuscript and monumental decoration. It also places the imagery of the afterlife, both literary and artistic, within the context of Byzantine culture, spirituality, and soteriology. The book intends to be the definitive study on concepts of the afterlife in Byzantium, and its interdisciplinary structure will appeal to students and specialists from a variety of areas in medieval studies.

In Todesnähe werden Menschen oft mit intensivem Bilderleben konfrontiert. Das Wissen darüber hat in den letzten Jahren stark zugenommen. Dass uns in Todesnähe Bilder entgegen kommen, ist nicht allein für die Betroffenen selbst bedeutsam, sondern ebenso für jene, die sie begleiten. Visionäre Erfahrungen sind Sinnereignisse, die Wirklichkeitssphären miteinander verbinden. Sie halten zusammen, was auseinanderzubrechen droht. Und sie unterstützen die Kommunikation über Dinge, für die einem die Worte fehlen. Auf der Basis des aktuellen Forschungsstandes und Erfahrungsberichten aus einer Umfrage bei Klinikseelsorger(innen) betrachtet die vorliegende Studie die unterschiedlichen Erlebnisformen erstmals in ihrer Zugehörigkeit zu einem einzigen Erlebnisspektrum und fragt nach dem Sinn des Erlebten und den Möglichkeiten spiritueller Begleitung. Das Buch versteht sich als Beitrag zur aktuellen Diskussion um Bedeutung und Aufgabe von Spiritual Care. Es zeigt, weshalb es für eine angemessene spirituelle Begleitung wichtig ist, mit den verschiedenen Formen visionären Erlebens vertraut zu sein, und wie die Begleitpersonen dazu beitragen können, ihr Sinnpotenzial zu erschließen. In the face of death, people often experience intense visual experiences. Our understanding of such phenomena has grown in recent years. For the first time, based on current research and personal reports, this study examines the different forms taken by such imagery in this unique realm of experience. The study illuminates their meaningfulness, and also explores their potential relevance for spiritual guidance.
