| book description |

Going beyond the frameworks of the anthropology of death, Articulate Necrographies offers a dramatic new way of studying the dead and their interactions with the living. Traditional anthropology has tended to dichotomize societies where death â€œspeaksâ€ from those where death is â€œsilentâ€ â€“ the latter is deemed â€œscientificâ€ and the former â€œreligiousâ€ or â€œmagicalâ€. The collection introduces the concept of â€œnecrographyâ€ to describe the way death and the dead create their own kinds of biographies in and among the living, and asks what kinds of articulations and silences this in turn produces in the lives of those affected.
