KlappentextDeath happens to us in our physical body, but it bears a gender signature. Did you know that not a single woman in the Bible commits suicide, but that today more women than men engage in assisted suicide? Have you ever thought about whether gender-specific statements can be made about the death of Jesus and whether the ability (not) to mourn has something to do with one's own gender identity? Have you been able to observe whether people with dementia maintain or break through the gender roles of their previous lives? And if you hope beyond death, do you also have hope for your physicality and sexuality? Does death itself have a gender for you? Would you rather choose an undertaker or an undertaker for your funeral? The articles in this volume, which come from all theological disciplines as well as philosophy, religious studies and cultural studies, investigate questions such as these and many others relating to the connection between death and gender in the past and present. They aim at a new perception of gender diversity in dealing with dying and death and at the same time at liberation from normative images of men and women in the horizon of a realistic anthropology.
