Edited by Maurice Bloch and Jonathan Parry, the collection examines diverse cultural treatments of death while keeping a central focus on death-related symbols connected to regeneration. The opening chapters frame the seminar origins of the volume and introduce the anthropological concern with fertility, sexuality, and mortuary symbolism, setting up comparative analyses across societies.","","cbCainnCrGksamkq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainnCrGksamkq","pdf",7038500,2,1,75,"English","en",105,"# Preface\n# Notes on contributors\n# Introduction: death and the regeneration of life\n## Introduction\n## Chapter 2\n## Chapter 3\n## Chapter 4\n## Chapter 5\n## Chapter 6\n## Chapter 7\n## Chapter 8\n# Index","[{\"question\":\"What is the central focus of the book?\",\"answer\":\"The volume focuses on the significance of symbols of fertility and rebirth in funeral rituals, while also considering other aspects of how death is treated that relate to this theme.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the chapters in the book originally developed?\",\"answer\":\"Apart from the Introduction, the chapters were first presented as papers at an intercollegiate seminar at the London School of Economics in the summer of 1980, and were later revised through continued collaboration and discussion.\"},{\"question\":\"Which topics are highlighted in the introductory discussion?\",\"answer\":\"The introduction highlights how notions of fertility and sexuality often play a prominent role in funeral practices and explains the volume’s relation to earlier anthropological work on mortuary symbolism.\"}]",1782210653,189,{"code":4,"msg":31,"data":32},"ok",{"site_id":25,"language":24,"slug":33,"title":13,"keywords":15,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":28},"death-and-the-regeneration-of-life",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,52,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,46,49],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":21},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",{"item":47,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":48},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":50,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":51},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/death-and-the-regeneration-of-life/33473/",4,{"url":50,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":24,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":40,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-04","2026-06-23",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What is the central focus of the book?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"The volume focuses on the significance of symbols of fertility and rebirth in funeral rituals, while also considering other aspects of how death is treated that relate to this theme.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"How were the chapters in the book originally developed?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"Apart from the Introduction, the chapters were first presented as papers at an intercollegiate seminar at the London School of Economics in the summer of 1980, and were later revised through continued collaboration and discussion.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"Which topics are highlighted in the introductory discussion?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"The introduction highlights how notions of fertility and sexuality often play a prominent role in funeral practices and explains the volume’s relation to earlier anthropological work on mortuary symbolism.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":50,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":50},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":25}]
