Rituals for the Dead: Religion and Community in the Medieval University of Paris, By William J. CourtenayBeing with the Dead: Burial, Ancestral Politics, and the Roots of Historical Consciousness, By …
Many people today are wondering if the pandemic foretells the death of the university. With COVID-19, people are recognizing the dangers inherent in coming together in groups, and models and scenarios of the ways in which these gatherings might impact death rates on university campuses are running rampant like the virus. It is in this context that I recently read William J. Courtenay’s Rituals for the Dead: Religion and Community in the Medieval …

Funeral companies leading the trend of offering internet memorials have traditionally been large industry franchises, with companie…
Trans-Atlantic death methods: Disciplinarity shared and challenged by a common language
The different countries that death and dying researchers reside within often shape not only research agendas but also research methodologies. The United Kingdom and the United States are two examples of countries that share a common language and intellectual history but their discourses on death have been very different. These differences are partly explained through cultural practices, and also government funding of research, definitions of deat…

Buying an Afterlife: Mapping the Social Impact of Religious Beliefs through Consumer Death Goods
Choosing to have a body embalmed, the choice of interment locations and type, including the selection of a particular casket, are all deeply intertwined with various understandings of the afterlife, and views of the body after death. Consumer choices in these cases are often determined by imagined embodiment, and are determined in part by non-rational consumer choices based on religious upbringing and belief. In turn, diasporic and religious iden…

Offering a brief history of the study of drinking, followed by a short analysis of drinking in European and Chinese cultures, Cann examines two religious texts central to the roles of women and alcohol in Chinese religious thought and Christianity. Finally, Cann utilizes the historical and textual background to contextualize her ethnographic…
