More about the book

Focusing on the interactions between the living and the dead, this work delves into objects of remembrance within communities on both sides of the Irish border. Barbara Graham employs ethnography to reveal the multifaceted roles the deceased play in contemporary life, encompassing physical, cognitive, emotional, and spiritual dimensions. By broadening the concept of materiality, she incorporates narrative, song, and embodied experiences, while also exploring the influence of ancient beliefs and folk religion on modern practices.
