It explores the emotional relationship between the mental image of death and crying and highlights the transcendental potentialities of ritual funeral crying as a technique, tool, and medium in a boundary-situation. The extensive variety of socio-cultural responses to death as a crisis of continuity and a final catastrophe and the symbolic representations of after-death and nothingness in folk belief and metaphysics are re-examined in the light of phenomenology in order to demonstrate that in face of death human reality discloses only its  self-identity in otherness'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bledar Kondi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 383253220X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783832532208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Logos Verlag Berlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Bledar Kondi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075214110975,"sku":"9783832532208","price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4655f7c5-2be8-4469-9cef-a6a9c6ae2236.jpg?v=1685458261","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/death-and-ritual-crying-bledar-kondi-9783832532208","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
