What determines how a society manages death and dying? Does it depend on the society's state of economic development: hunter-gatherer, agrarian, industrial, post-industrial? Or does it depend more on national history, laws and culture? How important nowadays are global forces? Or are there distinctive Eastern and Western ways of managing death? This lecture tries to unravel how these different factors interact and shape how people today die, create funeral rites, and mourn.
