Death, Death, I Know Thee Now!' Mourning Jewelry in England and New Orleans in the Nineteenth CenturyTabony, Joanna 20 May 2011 (has links)
Descriptions of mourning adornments in England and New Orleans in the nineteenth century are used to argue that many of the customs of mourning in England -- the designs, themes, and materials -- also were present in New Orleans. This study draws from these observations and sources to suggest that mourning practices involving jewelry and costume became more functional and less formal in both England and New Orleans as the century progressed, while French customs retained and even grew in complexity. The high level of trade between Britain and New Orleans during the nineteenth century, reflected in the jewelry and costume of Louisiana, supports an argument that this new world city was influenced by, absorbed and incorporated social customs and activities that were useful to them, drawn from a wider range of cultures and peoples than perhaps are usually mentioned in historical accounts.

The gendered construction of mourning and cleansing rites of widowhood amongst the Zulu speaking people of Ndwedwe community, KwaZulu-Natal.Daber, Benedicta N. January 2003 (has links)
The gendered construction of mourning and cleansing rites of widowhood was studied
amongst the Zulu community of Ndwedwe, 70 kilometres north of Durban in the KwaZulu-Natal
province of South Africa. These cultural rites were investigated through in-depth
interviews with six widowers and twelve widows. Respondents were asked about their
experiences and perceptions regarding their compliance to the two rites. An analysis of these
experiences, which were translated and transcribed into English, was carried out, using
studies from other cultures internationally and locally as reference point, for the study. It was
revealed that mourning rites, which follow death of a spouse can be stressful for both genders
and must be observed strictly by the use of black or any mourning dress. The period of
mourning is characterised by isolation and stigmatisation especially for the widows.
Cleansing is a symbolic act that purifies all members of the household from defilement by
death. This is done for all relatives following burial but a widow remains impure not less than
one year of 'successful' mourning in most cases, before she is cleansed and is then absolved
into society's normal life. This study has revealed that mourning and cleansing rites have
psychological and physical health implications for both genders but with more negative
impacts on widows than widowers. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of Natal, 2003.
