"Death, Death, you are always so carving of lives." Mortality and funeral ritual in Cheb in the second half of 19th century
 KOLOUCHOVÁ, Jana
Presented theses deals with the phenomenon of death in the second half of 19th century on the example of the area around the Cheb town. The source base is made up by information of Christian registers of deaths, by prescriptive regulations and tangible evidences. As a main methodological basis the Historical Demography was chosen,but the other approaches were used as a Historical Anthropology and Art History. The most important emphasis was oriented on getting results from statistical research. The index of death issues was researched from several circumstances. Not only the data of approximate Life expectancy, infant mortality and seasonal movement was reached but also the analysis of the causes of death was made. The attention was oriented on infectious diseases too. The question of spread of epidemics is given into the wider context in the subsequent chapter, which is devoted to influence to prevent the gradual lengthening of life expectancy. The attention was devoted to the analysis of preserved tombstones from the 2nd half of 19th century on the base of fieldwork. The artifacts were assessed from the point of view of artistic representation. The epitaphs were recorded too for the identification of specific persons. The end of this topic was the thought of vandalism of modern time and the importance of preservation of the testimonial of funeral culture. The main aim of presented theses is to find out, what were the mortality situations at the monitored period but also the changes of funeral rite influenced by emancipation of bourgeois society. The connection with early modern period tradition of colossal noble funeral ceremony was pointed out. The complexity was amplified by the analysis of the term ?the Death? presented on the pages of Glossaries from that time and by the excursion into the folk?s habits connected with the end of life journey of rural population. For obtaining the complete view, there was necessary to work not only with results of statistics, but also to consider the interdisciplinary approach.
