Going beyond the frameworks of the anthropology of death,
Articulate Necrographies offers a dramatic new way of studying the
dead and their interactions with the living. Traditional
anthropology has tended to dichotomize societies where death
"speaks" from those where death is "silent" - the latter is deemed
"scientific" and the former "religious" or "magical". The
collection introduces the concept of "necrography" to describe the
way death and the dead create their own kinds of biographies in and
among the living, and asks what kinds of articulations and silences
this in turn produces in the lives of those affected.
