Visualization Of Death Research Articles

УСТАЛОСТЬ БЫТЬ ЧЕЛОВЕКОМ

In recent decades, the idea of «the end of human exclusivity» has become popular in the intellectual en-vironment. Such concepts as the «non-human life», «world-without-us» became widespread. The article shows that the end of human exclusivity has such manifestations in the sociocultural plane as hyper-trophic visualization of death, the pandemic of gerontophobia and thanatophobia, and the emergence of post-human biotechnology. The article substantiates that the appearance of «post» indicates the ethical collapse of a person, which consists in the fact that a person is tired of being himself. It is proposed to designate this existential fatigue by the well-known concept of «taedium vitae», which in the broadest sense means satiety and aversion to life. The idea is expressed that the emergence and widespread dis-semination of post-ideologies is connected with this existential fatigue. The conclusion reveals some «metaphysical flaws» in post-ideologies that give rise to inhuman anthropologies.

Visualization of Death in Armenian Culture

The article examines the interrelation between death, memory and the material in Armenian culture. The image of a dead person can revive after his death turning into a material memory. This memory is usually preserved with the help of cross-stones, gravestones and statues that come to replace a living person. The article makes reference to the attitude of the society to the photos. Samples of written speech on gravestones have also undergone research. The aim of our work is to create a bond between the perished one and the society through language.

Direct visualization of death of neurones projecting to specific targets in the developing rat brain

The fluorescent dye diamidino yellow was injected into parts of the developing visual and auditory systems in the rat. The dye was retrogradely transported by projecting neurones and was found to stain pyknotic profiles within the labelled cell populations. It is thus possible to visualize directly the death of neurones which project axons to specific and identified target regions within the nervous system.

Ars Morienditradition and visualization of death in roman baroque sculpture: Death education in the seventeenth century

Abstract The image of death played an important role in the art of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Italy. This prominence reflects a greater concern with the preparation for death during this period than today. In this article the tradition of the Ars Moriendi (“Art of Dying Well”), which is the term that refers to a collection of devotional books of the fourteenth to the eighteenth centuries that were used to help prepare each individual for a good death, is examined as a contributing factor in the frequent appearance of figures of death in Roman baroque sculpture. Particular attention is given to the attitudes of the living toward death and the salvation of the soul as recorded in written and visual form.
