'Im 20. Jahrhundert haben Säkularisierung und Individualisierung die Inszenierung des Todes und die Repräsentationsformen der Trauer grundlegend verändert. Sterben und Tod wurden zunehmend tabuisiert und in die private Sphäre zurück gedrängt. Der Beitrag untersucht am Beispiel von ausgewählten Erinnerungsorten (Friedhöfe, Straßenkreuze) und Medien des Totengedenkens (Totenzettel, Todesanzeigen, Gedenkseiten im Internet) Wandel der transzendentalen und gesellschaftspolitischen Sinnzuschreibungen hinsichtlich eines vorzeitigen oder als vorzeitig empfundenen Todes. Inszenierung und Repräsentation des vorzeitigen Todes wirken dabei prägend auf die Ausbildung neuer öffentlicher Formen des Gedenkens.' (Autorenreferat)... view less

'Secularization and individualization during the 20th century both significantly changed the ways and forms how death and mourning were 'staged' or rather represented. Dying and Death became more and more tabooed and hence repressed to the private sphere only. This paper will analyze the change of the attempts to give religious or political meaning to premature death focusing on three selected subject areas: places of remembrance, obituaries and virtual commemoration on the internet. Premature death in its representations and stagings is highly productive in coining new forms of public commemoration.' (author's abstract)... view less
