While birth and death are often seen as opposites, this edited volume shows that the start and end of life share many ambiguities. They represent a beginning and an end, and lead to ritualizing as well as embodied forms of spirituality. Throughout the book, the authors discuss theoretical and empirical perspectives on rituals at birth and death from multidisciplinary perspectives, such as religious studies, anthropology, philosophy, and sociology. By doing so, they shed light on new forms of ritualizing, as well as on traditional rituals.Birth and DeathReligion & beliefsbicsscpriestArs moriendisharing deathdeath teacherAfrican birth ritualancestor worshipartbirthbirth altarbirthing justiceceremonychildchildbirthChinese birth ritualcontemporary arthumanismindigenous birth ritualmaterial culturemothernonreligionnonreligiouspregnancyreligionre-sacralizationrite of passageritualsacredsecularsecularityspiritualitysymboltraditional birthgriefbereavementdeathpregnancy lossembodimentmetaphorritualscultural practicesAfricamemory makingfunction of ritualized actsritualizationneonatal intensive care unit (NICU)new-bornbereaved parentsnursesparent support groupexistentialinfrastructural breakssociology of repairlife-cycle ritualsfuneral marketmaternity caretattoobody-modificationidentityself-constructionDimasadeath ritualsurbanritual performancepersonhoodmotherhoodmiscarriagestillbirthabortionritualizingqualitative researchThe NetherlandsReligion & beliefsWojtkowiak Joannaedt1315242Mathijssen BrendaedtWojtkowiak JoannaothMathijssen BrendaothBOOK9910619470203321Birth and Death: Studying Ritual, Embodied Practices and Spirituality at the Start and End of Life3032290UNINA
