“…As a traditional death rite, wailing is generally perceived as a direct emotive confrontation with death and loss. It clashes with male-oriented “rational” and religious patterns of suppression, acceptance of divine judgment, and concern about the transmigration of the soul (Das, 1986; Gamliel, 2014). The femininity of wailing is associated with its being viewed as an “affective discourse” (Abu-Lughod, 1993), “wept thoughts” (Feld, 1995), a “symbolic force” (Briggs, 1993), and a creative medium for a subversive female message (Bourke, 1993; Holst-Warhaft, 1995; Raheja & Gold, 1994).…”

“…Until recently, its image as exotic and primitive, partly nurtured by research, abetted the perception of its irrelevance and excluded it from Western psychological discourse (Gamliel, 2007a). In keeping with recent studies that seek to yield an ethno-psychological understanding of the phenomenon (Gamliel, 2007a, 2014; Wilce, 2011), this article investigates Yemenite-Jewish wailing in Israel in relation to terror management theory (TMT), a leading theory in death anxiety research (Iverach, Menzies, & Menzies, 2014). By analyzing similarities and dissimilarities between this traditional practice and TMT, I aim to show how wailing is related to therapeutic perspectives.…”

Although women's wailing at death rites in various cultures typically amplifies mortality salience, this ritual phenomenon is absent in the research literature on terror management theory (TMT). This study explored Yemenite-Jewish wailing in Israel as an example of how a traditional performance manages death anxiety in a community context. Observations of wailing events and interviews with Yemenite-Jewish wailers and mourners in Israel were analyzed to understand respondents' perceptions of the experience of wailing as well as the anxiety-oriented psychotherapeutic expertise involved. The findings are discussed to propose an alternative outlook on the intersubjective adaptive value of death anxiety. After describing TMT's view on the role of culture in coping with death anxiety, I consider the extent to which Yemenite-Jewish wailing is consistent with the premises of TMT.

“…As religious practice was said to move from the orthodox to the unorthodox, so too did women enter the annals of Soviet Islam as religious leaders, using their perceived lower social status to tend to religious traditions when their wage-earning husbands would not risk the reproach of party heads. To be sure, women took on a wide range of roles in the religious life of the eastern Caucasus at this time (Dragadze 1994;Goluboff 2008;Shami 2000;Tohidi 1998). But as Molla Mahir and others noted, men participated just as regularly 16 Despite Sheykh Baba's grandson asserting to his Soviet captors in the wake of the Sheki rebellion of 1930 that he attempted escape via Georgia because "we had Sufi supporters there," not a single resident of the village today appears to self-identify with the Sufi label.…”

Shrines fill the Eurasian land mass. They can be found from Turkey in the west to China in the east, from the Arctic Circle in the north to Afghanistan in the south. Between town and country, they can consist of full-scale architectural complexes, or they may compose no more than an open field, a pile of stones, a tree, or a small mausoleum. They have been at the centers and peripheries of almost every major religious tradition of the region: Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. Yet in the formerly socialist world, these places of pilgrimage have something even more in common: they were often cast as the last bastions of religious observance when churches, mosques, temples, and synagogues were sent crashing to the ground in rapid succession across the twentieth century.

Prispevek z metodama pozornega branja in intertekstualne primerjave med različnimi kulturami in religijami odkriva posebnosti judovskih žalostink za umrlimi in judovskih žalnih obredov, kot so izpričani v žalostinkah Svetega pisma in v posvetopisemskih judovskih virih, na antičnih judovskih nagrobnih napisih, v tradicionalnih judovskih verskih praksah žalovanja, v srednjeveških judovskih literarnih tradicijah spomina na mučence in v komemoracijah za žrtvami holokavsta v moderni judovski poeziji. Raziskuje tudi odnos do trpljenja in smrti Judov, izpričan v slovenskem ljudskem izročilu in v izbranih delih slovenske rokopisne tradicije. Ključne besede: trpljenje, smrt, žalovanje, tolažba, svetopisemske žalostinke, antični judovski nagrobni napisi, obred žalovanja This contribution discloses, by using the methods of close reading and intertextual comparison with various cultures and religions, peculiarities of Jewish laments in honour of the dead and of Jewish mourning rituals, as they are witnessed in laments of the Bible and in post-Biblical Jewish sources, in ancient Jewish epitaphs, in Jewish traditional religious mourning practices, in medieval Jewish literary traditions of commemorating martyrs and in commemorations of holocaust victims in modern Jewish poetry. It deals also with the relationship to suffering and the death of Jews, as they are witnessed in Slovenian literary folklore and in selected works of Slovenian manuscript tradition.UVOD V antiki, prek celotnega srednjega veka pa vse do moderne dobe so Judje svoje doživljanje trpljenja in smrti poetizirali v individualnih ali skupinskih delih. V vseh obdobjih judovske zgodovine od antike do danes so se razvijale različne oblike žalostink (angl. laments, lamentations, nem. Klagelieder), ki so jih avtorji sestavljali v različnih pesniških oblikah. Klasični biblični primeri žalostink so »Davidova žalostinka za Savlom in Jonatanom« (2 Sam 1,19-27), knjiga Žalostink, ki je sestavljena iz petih med seboj povezanih žalostink, Jobova knjiga ter nekateri psalmi iz vrste »žalostink« (Ps 6, 22, 38, 69, 88, 102). Biblični primeri judovskega odgovora na osebne in zgodovinske katastrofe sestavljajo vzorce, ki so jih Judje lahko aktualizirali skozi vsa obdobja, vse do izbruha nacističnega preganjanja in izkušnje katastrofe holokavsta. To zadnje obdobje je zahtevalo največ žrtev v slovanski srednji Evropi, zato je s tega prostora tudi največ pesnikov, ki so z močjo umetniške besede celotni trpeči judovski skupnosti izpovedovali, kar so sami doživljali. V novih okoliščinah so pesniki za sestavljanje žalostink iskali nove oblike.Članek prikazuje zgodovinski razvoj žanra žalostink v dolgi judovski zgodovini. Posebno pozornost posveča njihovi čustveni izrazni globini in religiozni navdahnjenosti pesnikov v izrazih žalovanja za umrlimi. Kot razkrivajo žalne pesmi, so nekateri umrli zaradi bolezni, mnogo pa jih je izgubilo življenje zaradi nasilja preganjalcev. Pogosto so postali žrtve zaradi svoje drugačnosti v kulturi in veri ter zaradi svoje ekonomske dejavnosti, zlasti ban...
