История смерти. Как мы боремся и принимаем by Сергей Мохов

Как мы боремся и принимаем

A concise cultural history of how humans confront mortality, tracing the evolution from communal rituals and religious frameworks to today’s medicalized, commercial, and digital approaches. It explores funeral and mourning practices, cemeteries, the rise of the death-care industry, biopolitics, and the shift from public rites to private grief, while examining modern efforts to manage or postpone death—palliative care, intensive care, cryonics, and transhumanist ambitions. Through these lenses, it shows how societies both fight against and learn to accept death, and how memory and meaning are preserved in monuments, museums, and online spaces.
