She noted that, in this period of political transformation, the corpses of political leaders and cultural heroes accrued certain powers leading to a struggle over appropriating those powers, and to the exhumation and displacement of their bodies (Verdery 1999 ). Here I wish to consider the modes of appropriation of the power of corpses and off er an explanation for their widespread movement in postsocialist states. Th is movement, I will argue, is a manic reaction to the death of political regimes and to the sense of abandonment that accompanies this end. Although people may understand this reaction as asserting sovereignty over the dead, it in fact demonstrates the inverse: that the dead govern the living. How and why is it that humans deny being governed by the dead and instead claim victory over their losses? What is the connection between the experience of regime end and the attempts to declare victory through the exhumation and reburial of corpses?","PeriodicalId":288753,"journal":{"name":"Governing the Dead","volume":"68 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121002307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We see sovereignty as an eff ect of practices that are fundamentally related to the body and to issues of life and death, and pertaining to the state as well as other political and moral communities. Th is chapter sets out the theoretical terrain that the authors of the volume navigate in their analyses, a terrain where dead bodies and sovereign practice intersect. More specifi cally it looks at four diff erent approaches, including psychoanalysis (‘fear of death’), critical theory (‘between bioand necropolitics’), the anthropology of rituals (‘sacralisation of authority’) and lastly more recent ideas of materiality and alterity (‘dead agency’).","PeriodicalId":288753,"journal":{"name":"Governing the Dead","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124054973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He was classifi ed as the most violent drug cartel leader on the planet by the American Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), and as an extremely dangerous enemy of the fatherland by the Mexican president, Felipe Calder ó n. For several hours, the marines were engaged in heavy shooting with the end result that Beltr á n Leyva was killed, along with three of his hit men and one marine. Th e Mexican press generally considered this incident a success story of the Mexican government’s harder law-enforcement measures in the current war on organised crime. My approach to this incident, however, is not to analyse the hypercomplex discourse on state, law enforcement and organised crime in Mexico. Rather, I will take this story as a departure point for exploring the governance of dead bodies, which starts where it ends for most scholars of political science and criminology. As the contributions to this volume show, the corpse is not always the end of the story. On the contrary, as we shall see, a corpse still holds the power to stir up more death. Th e overall argument is that the brutal treatment of corpses transgresses the spheres of national security politics and the simple spread of terror. Corpses are instead seen as a social force that enchants politics and socialises religion.

In March 2011, however, this took a decidedly macabre twist when reports, accompanied with graphic photographs and video footage, emerged of massive war veteran-led exhumations taking place at the disused Monkey William mine at Bembera Village in Chibondo in Mount Darwin (northern Zimbabwe), where the remains of hundreds, if not thousands of people apparently killed by the Smith regime during the liberation war of the 1970s, had been (re)‘discovered’. Th ese events attracted enormous media attention and an unprecedented furore of angry responses from diff erent political parties, civil society organisations, human rights groups and public commentators within Zimbabwe. Th e criticisms that these grisly exhumations provoked off er key insight into the topography of Zimbabwe’s complex ‘politics of the dead’, and the diffi cult questions that can arise about who has sovereignty over human remains. But apart from the grotesque displays of human remains involved, and the crude politicking taking place around them by the war veteran group, the Fallen Heroes Trust (FHT), which is closely linked to the ruling party, ZANU-PF (Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front), and which used the exhumations to reinforce its anti-colonialist rhetoric of ‘patriotic history’ (Ranger 2004 ; Tendi","PeriodicalId":288753,"journal":{"name":"Governing the Dead","volume":" 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120832890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
