Description
Summary:Socio-religious bourgeois representations of mourning reached a climax in the 19th century. The traditions practiced around graves, the mourning attire, and the norms regulating ones behaviourwere highly gendered: Mourningwas-based on the idea of the emotional woman and the rational man - something deemed “naturally” female. However, these mourning practices have changedover the course of the 20th century. A strong stimulus for these changes has been the transformation of gender concepts, especially the collective expectations of the ideal woman. This paper discusses the transformations of socio-religious mourning representations on the basis of the idea of gender-changes.
