In most of the world, the transition from life to death is a time
of intense presence of states and other forms of authority.
Focusing on the relationship between bodies and sovereignty,
Governing the dead explores how, by whom and with what effects dead
bodies are governed in conflict and non-conflict contexts across
the world, including an analysis of the struggles over 'proper
burials'; the repatriation of dead migrants; abandoned cemeteries;
exhumations; 'feminicide'; the protection of dead drug-lords; and
the disappeared dead. Mapping theoretical and empirical terrains,
this volume suggests that the management of dead bodies is related
to the constitution and membership of states and non-state entities
that claim autonomy and impunity. This volume is a significant
contribution to studies of death, power and politics. It will be
useful at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in
anthropology, sociology, law, criminology, political science,
international relations, genocide studies, history, cultural
studies and philosophy. The research program leading to publication
has received funding from the European Research Council under the
European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP/2007-2013) / ERC
Grant Agreement n Degrees 283-617. -- .
