20.500.12556/RUL-188038 Placemaking by the dead cemeteries as emotional, moral and ritual places Mrtvi kot ustvarjalci prostora This article examines cemeteries in north-eastern Slovenia as deathscapes where the dead act as emotional, moral and ritual agents. Drawing on ten months of ethnographic fieldwork conducted in 2024, the study explores how relationships with the dead are maintained, transformed or disrupted through spatial practices and affective encounters. Everyday acts of care, such as tending graves or communicating with the deceased sustain cemeteries as places of moral continuity and family responsibility. At the same time, some encounters with the dead reveal more unsettling aspects of these relationships, where unresolved ties extend beyond death and require ritual intervention. Approaching continuing bonds from a spatial perspective, the article argues that relationships with the dead persist also through embodied practices tied to place. Članek obravnava pokopališča v severovzhodni Sloveniji kot pokrajine smrti, v katerih umrli delujejo kot čustveni, moralni in ritualni akterji. Na podlagi desetmesečnega etno-grafskega terenskega dela, izvedenega leta 2024, raziskava preučuje, kako se odnosi z umrlimi ohranjajo, preoblikujejo ali prekinjajo skozi prostorske prakse in afektivna srečanja. Vsakdanja dejanja skrbi, kot so urejanje grobov in pogovori z umrlimi, ohranjajo pokopališča kot kraje moralne kontinuitete in družinske odgovornosti. Hkrati pa nekatere izkušnje stika z mrtvimi razkrivajo tudi moteče razsežnosti teh vezi, kjer se nerešeni odnosi raztezajo onkraj smrti in zahtevajo ritualno posredovanje. Na pojmovni ravni članek opredeli model kontinuiranih vezi skozi prostorsko perspektivo ter pokaže, da vezi z umrlimi vztrajajo tudi v utelešenih, krajevno umeščenih praksah. cemetery agency of the dead deathscapes continuing bonds vernacular religion spatial anthropology Slovenia pokopališče delovanje umrlih pokrajine smrti kontinuirane vezi vernakularna religija prostrska antropologija Slovenija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-09-17 16:06:56 2026-09-17 16:07:03 2026-09-18 04:30:48 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 41-69 Letn. 29 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-01-01 133.9:39(497.4) 1408-6271 10.3986/SMS20262904 291506691 _4_Kuntaric+Zupanc.pdf _4_Kuntaric+Zupanc.pdf 1 B221FD7CC4025E34B1DCE6E1EB7FED30 50167df76e045d18770ba56bf3acb9b5b0d4d84e423a04d2cbda83259d1cada4 330617d3-b2a1-11f1-8bc5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=248029 https://ojs.zrc-sazu.si/sms/article/view/14864 1 04ad0aa4-b2a1-11f1-8bc5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=248028 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
