Acts of estrangement. The post-mortem making of self and other

Abstract:
The histories of post-mortem intervention in 18th- and 19th-century Britain
illustrate
how the relationships within which the dead were located affected their
postmortem
treatment and were reproduced through it. This paper explores how
traditions of marking social distinctions among the dead have been
incorporated
into archaeological practice, tracing some of the ways in which
relationships between
the dead and the living define the nature and tone of post-mortem
interventions.
This history suggests that the conditions within which people are produced
as dead
bodies through archaeological practice are at present poorly understood,
and, as
such, I contribute some notes towards a relational understanding of this
production.
