摘要

生命中有一件事是肯定的:死亡。但是我们如何谈论死亡——它的必然性,它的原因和过程,它的结果,或者它的位置——是容易受到文化条件变化的影响的。回顾从史前开始的死亡史,著名的死亡历史学家托马斯·拉克尔(Thomas Laqueur)怀疑是否有可能(从两种意义上)理解这个话题:“我们对死亡和死者的认识站在文化的边缘。”因此,它们可能没有通常意义上的历史,而只有越来越多的迭代,无穷无尽的变化,我们将其塑造成与过去和现在的联系。”

Life Writing and Death: Dialogues of the Dead
One thing in life we can be certain of: death. But how we talk about death—its inevitability, its causes and its course, its effects, or its places—is susceptible to changing cultural conditions. Reviewing a history of death that begins in prehistory, the distinguished historian of death Thomas Laqueur doubts it is possible to comprehend (in both senses) the topic: ‘Our awareness of death and the dead stands at the edge of culture. As such they may not have a history in the usual sense but only more and more iterations, endless and infinitely varied, that we shape into n engagement with the past and the present’.
