| Beschreibung | The decades after the Black Death saw a transformation in death practice in Italy. As the experience of the plague prompted renewed anxiety toward the afterlife, a new 'strategy for eternity' marked by a cult of remembrance took shape. This new focus on the individual in death has often been seen in tandem with the purported rise in individualism beginning with the spread of humanism. This paper complicates this narrative through a detailed analysis of contemporary death practice from the perspective of the 'public' and 'private'. It draws primarily from evidence found in Boccaccio’s Decameron and Johann Burchard’s account of Pope Alexander VI’s death. Through careful analysis it is demonstrated that death, while subject to seemingly individualizing forces remained simultaneously a concern of society at large. In a time and place where the ‘public’ and ‘private’ overlapped considerably, it would therefore be hazardous to argue that Renaissance Italians simply rejected the role of the community in something as universal as death. | - |
