To begin a discussion, was made a contextualized history on socioeconomic issues and a Ukrainian immigration in Brazil, in the state of Paraná, and in Prudentópolis city - PR. For this purpose, the researchers Batista and Martins (2013), Boruszenko (1969), Burko (1963), Menezes (2009), Oliveira (2013), Matilde (2006), Priori (2012), among others. (2010), as well as some studies on this kind of newspaper, based on the works of researchers Conde (2000), Park (2008) and Szeremeta (2014). The newspaper Pracia is a centenary newspaper made in Prudentópolis-PR, and has as employees the descendants of Ukrainians living in the city.In the care of two priests, the newspaper has a fortnightly circulation (2,700 copies), sent by mail to subscribers in several cities in Brazil, with the largest number of readers present in Paraná and Santa Catarina states. For a study of this research, we have found 245 obituaries, published between the years 2001 and 2014. This text was revised for publications in Portuguese, which were incorporated from the year 2001; In view of whole situation, the newspaper was only published in the Ukrainian language since 1911. To organize and systematize the material, was used methodological resources of the Documentary Research (PIMENTEL, 2001; SÁ-SILVA, ALMEIDA e GUINDANI; 2009) and Content Analysis (BARDIN, 1976). The theoretical contribution of this research to understand the process of representation was based on the theory of Social Representations, based on the concepts of anchoring and objectification, by Serge Moscovici (2013). To support this analysis, the theoretical contributions on the studies of social memory, by Celso Pereira de Sá (2015) and also, different visions and understandings about death, were used to provide theoretical background. Among the authors, we can mention Da Matta (1997), Vilar (2001), Elias (2001), Franco, (2007), Combinato and Queiroz, 2011), Atanásio (2010), Patriarca e Lima 2014, Tenchena (2010), Guérios (2007), Costa (2012), Corso and Martenovetko (2011). The data resulting from the analysis showed that death is represented as a divine call to a new life, obtained from merit in fulfilling the earthly mission, that each individual is assigned. The final analyzes also point, theoretically-comparative, the understanding about death from the representation obtained with theoretical conceptions about the phenomenon in contemporary societies. / Esta pesquisa se propõe a caracterizar as representações sobre a morte que estão presentes nos obituários do jornal ucraniano Pracia. Para iniciar a discussão, este estudo apresenta uma contextualização histórica sobre questões socioeconômicas da imigração ucraniana no Brasil, no estado do Paraná e em Prudentópolis-`PR, respectivamente. Para tal finalidade, a pesquisa utilizou-se dos(as) autores(as) Andreazza (1996), Batista e Martins (2013), Boruszenko (1969),Burko (1963), Menezes (2009), Oliveira (2013), Priori (2012), entre outros. Este trabalho também apresenta o jornal Pracia, enquanto veículo de ‘mídia imigrante’, conceito trabalho por Cintra (2010), além de pontuar alguns estudos sobre este tipo de jornal, a partir dos trabalhos de Conde (2000), Park (2008) e Szeremeta (2014). O periódico Pracia é um jornal centenário confeccionado em Prudentópolis-PR, e tem como funcionários descendentes de ucranianos residentes na cidade. Aos cuidados de dois padres, o jornal tem circulação quinzenal (2.700 exemplares), enviado via correio para seus assinantes de diversas cidades do Brasil, com maior número de leitores presentes nos estados do Paraná e Santa Catarina. Para a realização desta pesquisa, foram coletados 245 obituários, publicados entre os anos de 2001 a 2014. Esse recorte temporal se justifica pelo acesso às publicações em língua portuguesa, que foram incorporadas a partir do ano de 2001, visto que o jornal foi editado somente em língua ucraniana, desde 1911. Para organizar e sistematizar o material, foram usados recursos metodológicos da Pesquisa Documental (PIMENTEL, 2001; SÁ-SILVA, ALMEIDA e GUINDANI, 2009) e Análise de Conteúdo (BARDIN, 1976). O aporte teórico utilizado nesta pesquisa para compreender o processo de representação teve como base a grande teoria das Representações Sociais, a partir dos conceitos da ancoragem e objetivação, de Serge Moscovici (2013). Para auxiliar a referida análise, foram utilizadas as contribuições teóricas sobre os estudos de memória social, de Celso Pereira de Sá (2015) e também, diferentes visões e entendimentos sobre a morte, para fornecer embasamento teórico, além de contextualizar a temática. Dentre os autores utilizados, podemos citar Da Matta (1997), Vilar (2001), Elias (2001),Franco, (2007), Combinato e Queiroz, 2011), Atanásio (2010), Patriarca e Lima (2015), Roush, 2014, Tenchena (2010), Guérios (2007), Costa (2012), Corso e Martenovetko (2011). Os dados resultantes da análise apresentaram que a morte é representada como um chamado divino para uma nova vida, obtida a partir do merecimento no cumprimento das premissas e respeito aos dogmas da religião católica, contexto em que estão inseridos os sujeitos desta pesquisa. As análises finais também pontuam, de forma teórico-comparativa, o entendimento sobre morte a partir da representação obtida com concepções teóricas sobre fenômeno nas sociedades contemporâneas.

Showing grief and loss over deceased musicians is something people have been doing on forums and online webshrines since home computers and the internet became part of our daily lives. Studies of this phenomenon have shown that grievers did so as a process of being in a state of disenfranchised grief, meaning that their grief wasn’t seen as legitimate or genuine, since they didn’t have a personal relationship with the deceased musician. Grief on the internet as an unidentifiable avatar on forums and shrines was a possibility many took hold of. Since the entrance of social media however, this notion of keeping grief over famous musicians (or other celebrities) private have changed. Whenever a famous person dies it is hard to miss Facebook statuses and comments written in sorrow and grief. This essay studies grief ridden comments on three different deceased musicians official Facebook profiles, how they are written, how personal they are, and how they relate to the musician. The essay also gets into a discussion how other users in grief effects the expressions of grief and how the medium and infrastructure of Facebook itself is contributing to the expressions.

This thesis looks at occurrences of "living death" – a liminal state that exists between life and death, and which may be approached from either side – in early modern English drama. Today, reference to the living dead brings to mind zombies and their ilk, creatures which entered the English language and imagination centuries after the time of the great early modern playwrights. Yet, I argue, many post-Reformation writers were imagining states between life and death in ways more complex than existing critical discussions of “ghosts” have tended to perceive. My approach to the subject is broadly historicist, but informed throughout by ideas of stagecraft and performance. In addition to presenting fresh interpretations of well-known plays such as Thomas Middleton’s The Maiden’s Tragedy (1611) and John Webster’s The White Devil (1612), I also endeavour to shed new light on various non-canon works such as the anonymous The Tragedy of Locrine (c.1591), John Marston's Antonio's Revenge (c.1602), and Anthony Munday's mayoral pageants Chruso-thriambos (1611) and Chrysanaleia (1616), works which have received little in the way of serious scholarly attention or, in the case of Antonio's Revenge, been much maligned by critics. These dramatic works depict a whole host of the living dead, including not only ghosts and spirits but also resurrected Lord Mayors, corpses which continue to “perform” after death, and characters who anticipate their deaths or define themselves through last dying speeches. By exploring the significance of these characters, I demonstrate that the concept of living death is vital to our understanding of deeper thematic and symbolic meanings in a wide range of dramatic works.
