It seems as natural as breathing. This focused area is ancient, broad, and constant. Some of our observances have changed over time, as cultural standards/preferences/tastes have evolved, but regardless everyone honors the dead. @@@@@ Below are just a few examples, some from the text of how we honor them as a community- and how their death is structured for our service of pilgrimage or remembrance. Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), is a Mexican traditional three-day-period of remembrance for the deceased. Scholars trace the origins of the modern Mexican holiday to indigenous observances dating back hundreds of years and to an Aztec festival dedicated to the goddess Mictecacihuatl and eventually it merged with Catholic traditions commemorating "All Saints Day." The holiday has spread throughout the world, being absorbed into other deep traditions in honor of the dead. It has become a national symbol and as such is taught (for educational purposes) in the nation's schools. Reliquaries (artistic Tupperware for relics) have served as points of interest for Christians on Pilgrimages in medieval Europe. Reliquaries are sculptural vessels that commonly contain a small portion of saint or important religious object (finger, toe, wood from the crucifixion, nails, fabric. Etc.). These holy objects are housed in Cathedrals all over Europe and served as destinations for pilgrims. > In the nth cant Wit محمل لحلمصلحميمعمعم نامطمطعمتمملممطعما عجله من- O 2 12:09 W8 Introduction: Mortality and х S Ask a new question - Studypool X S SOLUTION: Answer the following X + х → C https://gcccd instructure.com/courses/19755/pages/w8-introduction-mortality-and-immortality-life-and-death?module_item_id=558048 RI 6 WebAdvisor Main ...

These sites memorialize not just one person's death but also many, sometimes thousands. They focus our memory toward a specific catastrophic even, disease, or war. These memorials honor the sacrifice of the dead, connect with the survivors, and provide historical markers for the generations to come. What is it that compels us to memorialize on grand architectural scale mass deaths, rather than an individual ruler's passing, in 20th and 21st centuries? What changed in western culture that shifted out focus from the individual to the group? Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Washington DC. New World Trade Center (right image), NYC.

These very elaborate tombs are for just ONE person (or one family). There's no denying that the entombed had a healthy sense of self-importance. In some cases, this was just cultural tradition-if you're a pharaoh, king, shaman, pope, emperor, etc., you get the biggest, most elaborate burial site (usually made possible by lots of enslaved labor). The burial site of the Emperor, Qin Shi Huang, at Xian, China enclosed more that 7000 individually carved unique terra cotta soldiers (all facing the direction of likely attack), plus several entertainers, chariots, horses and other goods that a ruler may need in the afterlife. It was common for the great kings and religious elite of the Renaissance era Europe to have chapels built for individual or familial use and later to be buried in, like the elaborate Chapel of Henry VII. Egyptian pyramids are tombs, created for god-kings and their families, filled will all the earthly fineries (including food, pets, and servants) the departed Pharoahs would need in the afterlife. Pyramid burial was eventually phased out since it's a large marker for grave robbers. Less visible, but no less incredible, is the magnificent temple of Hatshepsut, carved directly into the side of mountain. Bernini's Baldacchino is nearly 100 feet tall, guiding your eyes from the massive ceilings of St. Peter's Bascillica, at the Vatican in Rome, to the tomb of the tomb of Saint Peter, the first Pope. > O 2 12:09 W8 Introduction: Mortality and х S Ask a new question - Studypool X S SOLUTION: Answer the following X + х → C https://gcccd instructure.com/courses/19755/pages/w8-introduction-mortality-and-immortality-life-and-death?module_item_id=558048 RI 6 WebAdvisor Main ...

There's nothing subtle about these exits on a grand scale, and yet in some cases the final resting places of these figures may be just as normal as any other. Viking burials were reserved for members of the highest of status in Norse culture. The Vikings were seafaring a people and Viking tombs reflect his tie to the sea. The Vikings buried their dead in (you guessed it) ships. @@@@@ Kana Kwei's biographic coffins, from Ghana, are one of a kind and send off the deceased in sculptural forms unlike any other. Hunter S. Thompson, a 20th century writer, social critic, and historian, instructed, prior to his death, that his ashes were to be loaded into a giant cannon and blasted up into the sky over his land in Colorado. Ed Kienholz, 20th century artist, was buried inside his favorite car with his recently deceased dog, a pack of cigarettes, and pack of playing card cards (in case he needed to gamble his way into heaven). Dogon people of Mali, in West Africa, observe a funeral ceremony that is a two-part process. The first occurs at the time of death, the second occurs a full year later. During the year there are additional ceremonies held for ensuring passage of the departed into the spirit world. > O 12:08 W8 Introduction: Mortality and S Ask a new question - Studypool X S SOLUTION: Answer the following X х → C https://gcccd instructure.com/courses/19755/pages/w8-introduction-mortality-and-immortality-life-and-death?module_item_id=558048 R WebAdvisor Main ...

Quizzes Announcements Humans tend to measure their relative success in life by measuring their accomplishments, but in the end, we will all have to come to terms with our own mortality. Yet the dead metaphorically continue to live on through our memorials and dedications. OE画画 @ Grades Syllabus Student Help Chapter 8 provides us with an array of worldwide cultural practices that all share one goal: honoring and remembering our dead. Art historians call works of this type vanitas (referring to the "vanity" of earthly life and the transient nature of all earthly goods and pursuits), many include momento mori (Latin for a "reminder of death"). Conferences As you're reading Chapter 8, Consider the roots of our traditions that commemorate the departed, how our recent traditions borrow from some ancient memorial practices and your personal relationship with these practices (as an observer of course). Our Discussion this week will explore historical memorial traditions in art and the ways in which we are still tied to them. For this introduction, I have organized the information into four general categories that have rich and varied traditions stretching from the ancient to the contemporary. > GOING OUT BIG O 2 12:08
