From the design of tombs and depictions of the Madonna grieving for her Son to the composition of Requiems and memorialization in grief memoirs and elegies: death and grief have often elicited the response of creativity. These expressions have, in turn, become important topics for investigation in the humanities. Nonetheless, this research often remains within the confines of single disciplines.
While tackling specific questions and cases, we seek to open up interdisciplinary and diachronic reflections and capture the dynamic history of grief in the arts. In particular, we aim to ask how cultural expressions represent grief and become sites of reflection on the very phenomenon of mourning, both in the social and cultural context of their creation and in later use; how artistic artefacts functioned and still function as integral parts of funerary rituals and individual processes of mourning; and how rituals and processes themselves engage in a delicate dance with cultural trends.
