Corina Bejinariu: Implicaţiile funerare ale corpului uman
316 CORINA BEJINARIU The funeral implications of the human body- Summary -This study proposes the approach of human being modalites of perception and valorification in funeral contexts.The sources that are utilized here concern the narrative nucleuses of death imaginary, as well as ritual practices from traditional structure of funeral ceremonial. The main aspects that are presented refer to the "särutul mortului" secvence, as well as the other alternatives of death watch (WAKE) games, in which the defunct body is also implicated. I also did short references to the body image in decomposition, like euphemistical expression of death, spreaded particularly through the instruments of religious discours. Roughly speaking, it has been established that at the level of collective outlook we are confrontated with a ambivalent atitude given dead body ; on the one hand a behaviour based on respect and devotion for dead body where are included even ludic manifestations, and on the other hand, a restlessness (anxiety) feeling generated by the death vicinity.
