Periods of transition are often symbolically associated with death,
making the latter the paradigm of liminality. Yet, many volumes on
death in the social sciences and humanities do not specifically
address liminality. This book investigates these "ultimate
ambiguities," assuming they can pose a threat to social
relationships because of the disintegrating forces of death, but
they are also crucial periods of creativity, change, and emergent
aspects of social and religious life. Contributors explore death
and liminality from an interdisciplinary perspective and present a
global range of historical and contemporary case studies outlining
emotional, cognitive, artistic, social, and political implications.
