Afterword - Mortuary Dialogues in Pacific Modernities and AnthropologyIndex

Sommario/riassunto

Mortuary Dialogues presents fresh perspectives on death and mourning across the Pacific Islands. Through a set of rich ethnographies, the book examines how funerals and death rituals give rise to discourse and debate about sustaining moral personhood and community amid modernity and its enormous transformations. The book’s key concept, “mortuary dialogue,” describes the different genres of talk and expressive culture through which people struggle to restore individual and collective order in the aftermath of death in the contemporary Pacific.

Sommario/riassunto

The authors consider the ways in which the high degree of ethnic diversity within the region is related to the nature of tropical Asian



environments, on the one hand, and the nature of Southeast Asian political systems and the ways in which they manipulate natural resources, on the other. Rather than focus on defining the phenomenon of ethnicity, this book examines the different social evolutionary contexts in which the phenomenon is manifested.Companion volume to Cultural Values and Human Ecology in Southeast Asia (Michigan Papers no. 27).
