Description

Human bodies in socio-cultural context How societies treat the bodies of their members, including when they are dead, tells us a great deal about them. Stone Age burials, like those of the Egyptian rulers, show respect for the dead and beliefs in an afterlife. In our contemporary global village the patenting of human tissue, and the public display of preserved corpses, reflect ways in which bodies have become yet another commodity in what prominent psychoanalyst Erich Fromm refers to as our 'technicised' society (1,2) (among other things, Fromm (2) looks at the relationship between society and necrophilia).
