Coffins in Finland : the history of production, design and attitudes

2017

AbstractCoffins as death-related objects have changed in Finland during the past 150 years and the Finnish funeral industry has been created to answer the changing needs of customers. No longer do people build coffins in the household, or only buy a coffin and some other items from the funeral company: now professionals manage entire funerals. Coffin designs have become simpler and less socially discriminating and the colour formerly reserved for children and young people, white, has become the most popular colour for a coffin. Attitudes towards coffins have also changed, from mild dislike of having a coffin in the home to general demand of hiding coffins even in funeral companies’ premises…

Ancient DNA, Strontium isotopes, and osteological analyses shed light on social and kinship organization of the Later Stone Age.

2008

In 2005 four outstanding multiple burials were discovered near Eulau, Germany. The 4,600-year-old graves contained groups of adults and children buried facing each other. Skeletal and artifactual evidence and the simultaneous interment of the individuals suggest the supposed families fell victim to a violent event. In a multidisciplinary approach, archaeological, anthropological, geochemical (radiogenic isotopes), and molecular genetic (ancient DNA) methods were applied to these unique burials. Using autosomal, mitochondrial, and Y-chromosomal markers, we identified genetic kinship among the individuals. A direct child-parent relationship was detected in one burial, providing the oldest mol…

Les différents modes d'évocation des défunts chez Les Eduens, les Lingons et les Séquanes au Haut-Empire (Ier - IIIème siècle) : de l'épigraphie à la…

2018

This new study of funerary monuments in Roman Gaul aims at putting emphasis on the various tools used by the ancient populations to perpetuate the memories of their dead. Thanks to carved images or texts, the mention of the name, of the identity of the deceased and of specific aspects of his everyday life were some of the means used to keep his memory alive in the world of the living. The geographical area chosen corresponds to three ancient territories : thoose of the Aeduens, the Lingons and the Sequans. Geographically and culturally close, these territories show indeed the same funeral traditions in ancient times. As for the chronological frame, it is limited to the Early Roman Empire, f…

La Cappella Reale di Palermo all’incrocio tra fede e potere. Musica, cerimonia e musicisti durante il viceregno spagnolo (secc. XVII-XVIII)

2021

Il contributo intende considerare il rapporto tra musica e potere attraverso una delle più importanti istituzioni del vicereame spagnolo nella penisola italiana, la Cappella Reale di San Pietro, comunemente nota come Cappella Palatina. La partecipazione alle grandi cerimonie di stato di Sei e Settecento, in particolare funerali e autodafé, sottolinea il ruolo dei musicisti della Palatina nel consolidare l’immagine del viceré e dell’identità regia in un contesto geograficamente lontano. Studi recenti hanno peraltro confermato che nelle istituzioni ecclesiastiche erano proprio gli esecutori della Cappella Reale a essere ingaggiati per suonare e cantare. Una più attenta ricostruzione dell’atti…

L’apparato effimero allestito nella cattedrale di Palermo per le cerimonie funebri di Carlo III di Borbone (1789): storia e rappresentazione digitale

2022

The paper focus on the ephemeral apparatus realized by the architect Salvatore Attinelli on the occasion of the funeral of Charles III of Bourbon, to be set up inside the cathedral of Palermo, in those years affected by a total internal modernization based on the project commissioned in 1767 to Ferdinando Fuga. This apparatus, in an article published by the academic Giuseppina Leone in 2001, was considered an alternative project to the proposal of Ferdinando Fuga, considered expensive and with a language not responding to the rules of good and modern architecture. The purpose of this paper is to reinforce the hypothesis of an apparatus having design purposes, and to verify its feasibility t…

Morto il re viva il re: le esequie di Filippo IV e la cerimonialità funeraria nella Sicilia dell'età moderna

2015

Il saggio analizza la cerimonialità con la quale si partecipa al popolo siciliano la morte del sovrano Filippo IV e, contestualmente, si presta giuramento di fedeltà al suo successore. Le motivazioni religiose di queste cerimonialità costituiscono una sorta di trama sulla quale si incardinano i riti per il consolidamento del rapporto di fedeltà tra il sovrano e i suoi sudditi.

Actuaciones procesales de la mujer en Roma. Prohibición edictal y literatura jurídica

2020

[Resumen] La improcedencia moral de que las mujeres usen de la palabra en el ámbito público, que se refiere a los lugares de espacio relevante como es el forum o intervengan en actos jurídicos formales, especialmente los solemnia verba, no impide que pueda intervenir procesalmente en defensa de asuntos propios y ajenos, aunque esta postulatio se traten de virilibus officiis. De esta forma la intervención de la mujer en la defensa de asuntos propios y ajenos aparece como algo poco común pero no prohibido hasta finales de la república. Un edicto de la primera mitad del s. I a. C, introduce el impedimento general de que intervenga la mujer en los procesos ajenos. La contradictoria afirmación q…
