Abstract:

This paper discusses the folklore texts of Ossetians with stories that reflect apocalyptic motifs in the predictions. Apocalyptic motives are semantically close to plots with a motive for the inevitability and inevitability of death. Predictions are then perceived as real predictions, when they come true, and in essence the tales of the fulfilled predictions come close to the tales of the inevitability, inevitability of fate.

Abstract:

Abstract Death is an inseparable part of life. This paradoxical statement expresses the inevitability that each individual will encounter death. The demise of human existence is often stereotyped in media, and used in a variety of commercial purposes as away of drawing attention. When death and tragedy are used in marketing communication, it is called necromarketing. There are two approaches to the tool of necromarketing: explicit and implicit. Explicit necromarketing displays catastrophes, misfortunes and deaths in their direct form, while implicit necromarketing indirectly presents of the de

Abstract:

The concept of death is important in Schopenhauer’s philosophy. For him, it is the only certainty. He regards life as a never-ending process of dying. The triumph of death is inevitable and this causes existence to be an absurd tragedy. Influenced in this by Buddhist thinkers, he regards death as the origin of philosophy because it makes us think and search for a solution to counter the futility of existence. This inevitability is discussed in Edgar Allen Poe’s short story The Red Death. The paper examines the concept of death in the story and the futile human struggle to avoid it. Our needs a

The paper argues that Poe’s story and its depictions of death allows for a transtextual analysis as it is based, for a significant extent, on stories from the Qur’an, the holy book of Islam, which informs of the inevitability of death.

Abstract:

The author attempts to answer the question whether it is possible to think about death without fear. On the basis of poems by Wisawa Szymborska, Elbieta Skorupska-Raczyska and Karol Wojtyla, she concludes that the death of the closest people is accompanied by grief and longing and it can be consoled by faith in God. In overcoming the fear of ones own death a few things can be helpful, namely thinking about the inevitability of death, believing in life after death and leading a good life. Yet, mass death and the death of children cannot be tamed.

Abstract:

AbstractLeo Tolstoy's short story, The Death of Ivan Ilyitch, is considered as a case history of a seriously flawed life and a consequently inept coping with death. Never having truly lived fully, never having been committed to passionate love or work, Ilyitch in his dying review finds his experience absurdly empty. His death comes to be seen as superficial and meaningless, like his life. It is suggested that people need to be educated for life's failures and death's inevitability.

Death's inevitability is not in question, but its mystery is one that is equally unavoidable and the questions we are likely to have about what then unanswerable. Traditionally we have tended to be concerned with what – if anything – might happen to us personally after we pass away, but that is not our question here. Rather we wish to contemplate what a knowledge of what will happen to the others in our lives may do to us while we are yet living. If we could know before we die the events that will befall our loved ones and/or our communities how might we react? Would that knowing be a comfort

Abstract:

The text addresses the topic of dying with dignity, referring to the statements of Pope Francis, who considers it obligatory to dispense with disproportionate and useless means of prolonging the agony of the sick. The author emphasises that accepting death in such cases does not mean desiring it, but recognising its inevitability. The problem stems from the multidimensionality of death (biological, psychological and social), which causes imprecision in the discourse on the subject. In the Slavic tradition, death is symbolised by Marzanna, whose destruction in spring rituals signified the victo

Contrary to much literature on death and dying addressing the necessity for people's openness in facing death, an argument is presented in favor of being supportive of a terminally-ill person's choice to deny death's inevitability. After presenting an illustrative case study on the choice of denial, the author draws upon the supportive work of some of the foremost experts in the field of death and dying. Finally, the author addresses the implications for the dying person's counselor and the consequences for the dying person's social milieu.

End-of-life workers, regardless of occupational status, work against a transformed culture of death and dying.

Based on three years of participant observation and interviews with end-of-life laborers, I identify two types of death competence—intimate and contextual—that develop at differ

Abstract:

Rethinking Death Late Medieval Piety after the Plague The essay uses illustrative texts to contribute to research about the religious interpretation of the plague in the late Middle Ages. While the ars moriendi shows a tendency to individualize dying, the Dance of Death, on the contrary, presents deindividualization as a common fate. This kind of ambiguity is reflected in other literary testimonies too, for example in Boccaccio’s “Decamerone”, or on the eve of the Reformation, in Huldrych Zwingli’s “Plague Song”. While these examples show a reflexive engagement with the inevitability of death,

Abstract:

In his most poignant and lyrical play, Come Away, Come Away, Mavor Moore imagined death as a little girl gently leading an old man away in a park. When it played on CBC-TV in 1972, Mavor — it still seems impossible to call him anything else — was at the peak of a brilliant career. That his success should lead to scenarios of imagined death is not surprising because as he later explored in detail in his 1994 autobiography, his many successes were accompanied by depression and self-doubt. Anticipating the inevitability of his own death, he scripted the best possible and lived long enough to prod

Abstract:

The article analyzes how Joseph Brodsky and Olga Sedakova depict the posthumous existence of a human. Brodsky holds an agnostic view on the world, tending to a positivism. The poet concentrates on depicting the Homeric horror of the very fact of death and its inevitability. Olga Sedakova tends to the Christian view of the world, taking into account the experience of the catastrophes of the 20th century, literature after Auschwitz. Unlike the traditionalist image of Paradise, Sedakova sees in it not only ‘incredible happiness’, but also an experience of tragedy and compassion, which leads her t

 It was 1963 when a serious infection forced Ettore Sottsass to a delicate, long stay in a hospital bed. In a period of time poised between "the darkness of death" and the inevitability of hope in life, Sottsass dreams, confides, plans, reflects on the history and potential of the humblest of materials: ceramic. The scattered sheets of a written dream retrace the thousand-year journey of a collective manual making which often resurfaces in contemporary creative aspiration.

Abstract:

It is well known from the history of humanity that religion, tradition, culture, science have not spared the topic of death and immortality. Because death is an existential phenomenon, inseparable from humanity. Man is an intelligent being who can realize that eventually, he dies and falls into the trap of death. However, the vast majority of people want to circumvent this reality. However, death does not depend on us it is a natural pattern. As a person ages, he involuntarily begins to think about the inevitability of death. A person begins to appreciate everything in life. Therefore, a perso

Everything that human beings do from the time of their birth, is a way for them to deny the inevitability of their death. A person adopts a myriad of ways to transcend the fear of death from their life and consciousness. This paper examines how the artistic medium of Bengali cinema provides insights into this existential issue and offers ways to overcome anxieties associated with human decay. Employing the Terror Management Theory (TMT) and film narratology, the study analyses two of Srijit Mukherji’s films, Baishe Srabon (2011) and Hemlock Society (2012), that involve plots where the characte

This paper explores the narrative strategies and symbolic significance of Achilles’ death in Homer’s The Iliad, focusing on how Homer employs visual depictions to enhance the hero’s image and convey the theme of mortality. Through a detailed analysis of textual foreshadowing, character reactions, and symbolic imagery, the study reveals how Achilles’ death serves as a central motif that underscores the epic’s themes of heroism and the inevitability of death. Additionally, the paper examines ancient Greek art, such as vase paintings and sculptures, to provide a visual complement to the literary

Abstract:

Abstract Grief is often described as characterized by a particular emotional response to another person’s death. While this is true of paradigm cases, we argue that a broader notion of grief allows accommodating forms of this emotional experience that deviate from the paradigmatic case. The bulk of the paper explores such a nonparadigmatic form of grief, anticipatory-vicarious grief (AV-grief), which is typically triggered by pondering the inevitability of our own death. We argue that AV-grief is a particular moral emotion that serves a unique function and is indissolubly linked to the practic

In the present paper I aim at exploring Keats’s use of Gothic and grotesque images in his three famous poems: “Isabella, or the Pot of Basil,” “The Eve of Saint Agnes” and the unfinished “The Eve of St. Mark.” I argue that there is a consistent pattern of imagery in Keats’s poetry that combines these two categories, and this imagery revolves around an idea of a spectral presence, or a “life-in-death” existence. The mingling of these two literary and aesthetic modes allows for a powerful articulation of anxieties relating to mortality, a confrontation with the inevitability of death and decay o

A textual analysis of these homilies reveals that man should prepare himself for death in such a way that death arouses not fear, but rather joyful entrustment to God.

The paper further interrogates the African concept of death and the mourning of the dead. It further discusses the semiotic codes of death and mourning in Africa.
