When the field of death studies first emerged in the mid 1970s, the Age of Enlightenment was identified as a major turning point.The pioneers in the field traced back to the late eighteenth century the principal themes characteristic of death in modernity—medicalization, de Christianization, privatization, sentimentality, avoidance, the growing physical separation between the living and the dead and the actual decline in mortality during peace time. Fifty years on, those themes still shape the research agenda, but the direction of historical change seems less clearcut. Reflecting the new perspectives of recent scholarship, this volume explores the ambiguities and contradictions in Enlightenment cultures of death while expanding the focus to include Jewish as well as Christian communities and emphasizing gender as a category of analysis. The topics examined range from attitudes toward death among Enlightenment intellectuals and the placement and design of cemeteries to the origins of demography as a field of study, the practice of autopsying in forensic medicine, the decriminalization of suicide, the role of print in Jewish death culture, the invention of the vampire, and the symbolism of the corpse in the French Revolution. Throughout, the contributors are attentive to the reversibility and mutability of historical trends. Growing repugnance at the odor and sight of decomposing flesh was accompanied by macabre fascination with putridity and mortal remains. The Enlightenment project to liberate humanity from the irrational fear of postmortem punishment produced new fears of
death that were all the more powerful for being grounded in scientific reason. |
