This Handbook traces the history of the changing notion of what it
means to die and examines the many constructions of afterlife in
literature, text, ritual, and material culture throughout time. The
Routledge Handbook of Death and the Afterlife is an outstanding
reference source to the key topics, problems, and debates in this
exciting subject. Comprising twenty-nine chapters by a team of
international contributors, the Handbook is divided into three
parts and covers the following important themes: The study of
dying, death, and grief Disposal of the dead: past, present, and
future Representations of death: narratives and rhetoric Youth
meets death: a juxtaposition Questionable deaths and afterlives:
suicide, ghosts, and avatars Material corpses and imagined
afterlives around the world Within these sections, central issues,
debates, and problems are examined, including: the world of death
and dying from various cultural viewpoints and timeframes, cultural
and social constructions of the definition of death, disposal
practices, and views of the afterlife. The Routledge Handbook of
Death and the Afterlife is essential reading for students and
researchers in religious studies, philosophy, anthropology, and
sociology.
