Abstract

Antropologija smrti, iako se bavi sličnim pitanjima kao i filozofija, na drugačiji način pristupa temi. Antropologija smrti, osim teorijskog aspekta, kao predmet istraživanja ima i kulturne prakse koje se prakticiraju za vrijeme umiranja i smrti. Tako se bavi procesom žalovanja, brige o truplu i samim pogrebnim ritualima. Pogrebne prakse su u zadnjih nekoliko desetljeća izgubile donedavno dominantno značenje i ulogu, te se u skladu s time njihov prostor izvedbe sveo na prostor groblja. Prakse poput bdijenja i zatvaranja stoke u ovo vrijeme teško gdje u Hrvatskoj još možemo pronaći. Iako danas uz medicinski napredak, pravilnu ishranu i brigu o vlastitom tijelu možemo znatno produljiti naš životni vijek, smrt i dalje ne možemo izbjeći niti znati što ona doista jest i očekuje li nas išta nakon nje. Pitanje smrti i danas je aktualna tema o kojoj se razgovara ne samo u znanostima, već i svakodnevnom životu – ljudi bar ponekad razmišljaju o vlastitoj smrtnosti i onome što misle da ih čeka. U Hrvatskoj je i dalje veliki religijski utjecaj na poimanje smrti te je ideja zagrobnog života uvelike prisutna.

Abstract (english)

Even though anthropology of death shares similar research topics with philosophy, it approaches the subject from a different perspective. Anthropology of death, in addition to its theoretical aspect, studies cultural practices related to death and dying. Thus, it examines the mourning process, corpse care and funeral rites. In the last few decades, funerary practices have lost their dominant significance and role, which reduced their area of performance to cemeteries alone. Practices such as vigil and confinement of livestock are scarce in Croatia in modern times. In today's world, even though medical advancements, proper nutrition and care for our bodies can significantly prolong our lifetime, we still cannot avoid death, nor know what it truly is or whether anything awaits us after it. The question of death is still a relevant topic that is discussed, not only in academia but also in everyday life, as people often reflect on their mortality and their ideas on what awaits them. In Croatia, religion still plays a significant role in the way death, and, consequently, afterlife, is perceived.
