| Résumé: | This article situates the corpse as a vital purview for the disciplines of pastoral theology and pastoral care. Contemporary practices of deathcare are examined in relation to their economic and environmental implications and their relation to dominant cultural discourses of consumerism, individualism, and visions of the human in relation to the other-than-human. Arguments are put forward for scholars and practitioners to take seriously the corpse's revelatory potential in aiding students and communities of faith to consider our relationship to our own bodies and those of others, the earth as a cocreated system of aliveness, and to pastoral theological questions of care at the time of death. |
