DESCRIPTION:What does one do with the dead? Burial\, entombment\, mummifica
 tion\, or cremation hint at creative ritual possibilities that tell us how
  we care for the dead. In several contexts\, the dead form an unquestionab
 le social good that encompasses a number of tropes\, such as designating a
 ncestors for a family\, configuring the nation-state on memorials and mort
 al remains\, meditating on death as part of ethical self-formation\, and s
 o on. Added to this\, is the whole range of beliefs in souls\, spirits\, g
 hosts\, zombies\, saints\, and shamans that anthropologists routinely enco
 unter\, which testifies to the idea of a vibrant afterlife and puts into s
 erious doubt any conceptualization of death as finitude or cessation. Conv
 ersely\, the dead and especially mortal remains also entail vital register
 s of forgetting\, of ostracism and of obliteration.
