Description

Product Description In Death, Materiality and Mediation, Barbara Graham analyzes a diverse range of objects associated with remembrance in both the public and private arenas through ethnography of communities on both sides of the Irish border. In doing so, she explores the materially mediated interactions between the living and the dead, revealing the physical, cognitive, emotional, and spiritual roles of the dead in contemporary communities. Through this study, Graham expands the concept of materiality to include narrative, song, senses, emotions, ephemera and embodied experience. She also examines how modern practices are informed by older beliefs and folk religion. Review "Graham has succeeded in conveying a rich, complex, dynamic, nuanced, and moving picture of the ways in which individuals and communities engage with death and loss, and how the dead retain a social presence in the lives of the living." - Christine Valentine, University of Bath "Graham has gained unprecedented access to very personal and private situations in Ireland - such as wakes and house clearances after the death of a relative - and this makes for an interesting read, especially given her great narrative skills in describing the settings and scenarios of her ethnography." - Elisabetta Viggiani, Queen's University Belfast About the Author Barbara Graham is an anthropologist with a special research interest in Ireland. She has extensive research experience in the field of material culture studies, death, emotions, aging and care.
