Abstract

On ne peut remonter à une origine unique du tatouage, pratiqué dans le monde entier, mais l’origine du mot lui-même est polynésienne. En Polynésie, il est pratiqué depuis plus de 3000 ans, et revêt une dimension symbolique forte. Il y est omniprésent, sur les corps comme dans les discours. Aux îles Samoa, il consiste en un agencement iconographique prédéfini sur des parties invariables du corps, du milieu du dos aux genoux pour les hommes, sur le tour de cuisses pour les femmes. Il n’est pas un acte narcissique, un geste individuel, mais s’inscrit toujours dans un environnement social et dans un contexte ritualisé. C’est sur ce rituel d’initiation que l’auteur centre ses travaux, mettant en lumière les phénomènes de continuité, de changement, de transmission et de globalisation du métier. Alors que les motifs du tatouage polynésien ont essaimé dans le monde entier, cet ouvrage analyse les données historiques et ethnographiques dans une approche inédite

Abstract

Onderzoek naar de tatoeagecultuur die door de eeuwen heen in verband wordt gebracht met sociale en culturele ontwikkelingen. De eeuwenoude tattoo is bezig aan een ware triomftocht door de westerse wereld. Vroeger het handelsmerk van de zeeman of de rebel en sporadisch zichtbaar, nu mateloos populair in alle lagen van de bevolking. Henri Beunders geeft zijn visie op de explosieve groei van de tattoo in de afgelopen halve eeuw. Hij duikt in de wereld van de "getekende mens', onderzoekt motieven en duidt ontwikkelingen. Van beginnerstattoo tot extreme lichaamsversiering: tattoos weerspiegelen de behoefte aan bevestiging van de identiteit. Ze drukken het verlangen uit om het eigen verhaal te vertellen. Het verhaal van bevrijding en vreugde, rouw, trauma's, blijvende herinneringen. Maar ook van spijt en verslaving.

Abstract

In response to increased academic interest in the fields of death studies, memorial studies, and human and animal studies, Skin, Meaning and Symbolism in Pet Memorials examines the mourning rituals which exist between people and their domestic pets.Paying close attention to the changing role and increased prominence of the companion animal in the domestic setting, each chapter considers a different form of companion animal memorialization, linking modern practices such as tattooing to historical examples of animal focused memento mori, particularly taxidermy. The final chapter adopts a forward focus in its provision of a framework for future studies related to how death and memorialization rituals are increasingly coming to occupy the digital space. While skin and touch are the focal points of many encounters explored in the text, what becomes evident is how the virtual realm is increasingly intruding into the touch experience. As a result, the posthumous, online afterlives of pets are set to become a social issue of increasing significance to the death and mourning experience. This work meets the needs of academics, post-graduate students and general readers alike, appealing to anyone with an interest in death studies, popular culture, tattooing and human and animal studies.
