Zusammenfassung

Eingebettet in einer viktorianischen Gartenanlage regt der berühmte Highgate Friedhof in London seit über 150 Jahren die Imagination der Menschen an. Begleitet von einer Einführung in die Geschichte und Bedeutung des Friedhofs betrachten unterschiedliche Autorinnen und Autoren die mit diesem Ort verbundenen Praktiken und gesellschaftlich-religiösen Vorstellungen. Die 14 Beiträge behandeln sowohl gegenwärtige als auch historische Aspekte: das landschaftliche und architektonische Setting des Friedhofs, die religiösen Zeichen und Symbole der Grabsteine, das Zusammenspiel zwischen der Parkanlage und den Naturdarstellungen in den Monumenten, die unterschiedlichen sozialen und religiösen Bedeutungen von Highgate in Literatur, Film und Friedhofsführungen. „Highgate Cemetery. Image Practices in Past and Present“ bietet neue und überraschende Ansichten eines der faszinierendsten Orte Londons.Mit Beiträgen vonDolores Zoé Bertschinger, Carla Danani, Natalie Fritz, Anna-Katharina Höpflinger, Ann Jeffers, Marie-Therese Mäder, Alexander Darius Ornella, Niels Penke, Daria Pezzoli-Olgiati, Sean Ryan, Alberto Saviello, Baldassare Scolari, Paola von Wyss-Giacosa, Michael Ulrich
