Kleine Kreuze am Straßenrand sind in den letzten Jahren zu einem überall zu findenden Symbol dafür geworden, dass an dieser Stelle ein Mensch bei einem Unfall ums Leben gekommen ist. Über viele Jahre gestalten Angehörige und Freunde diese Todesorte auf oft anrührende Weise. Für dieses Buch hat die Autorin eine Vielzahl solcher Todesorte dokumentiert und über Jahre beobachtet. Nicht nur die Kreuze, sondern vielfältige Collagen von Liebes- und Freundschaftsbeweisen, Kerzen und Geschenken machen die Unfallorte zu kleinen individuellen Pilgerstätten. Gespräche mit Angehörigen und Freunden zeigen, wie der Todesort in die Trauerverarbeitung eingebunden ist, wie er Gefühle hervorruft und der Suche nach Trost und Nähe dient. Als Indiz für öffentliche Trauer regen Unfallkreuze damit zum Nachdenken über heutige Formen von sinnstiftenden Ritualen und individueller Spiritualität an. Prof. Dr. Christine Aka studierte Volkskunde/Europäische Ethnologie und Geschichte an der Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität Münster, wo sie 1990 promoviert wurde. Nach einem Volontariat und mehrjähriger Tätigkeit als Wissenschaftlerin in verschiedenen Museen habilitierte sie 2005 mit einer Studie zu Unfallkreuzen an der Universitat Münster und ist seither, abgesehen von Vertretungsprofessuren in Regensburg, Münster, Bonn und Mainz, freiberuflich tätig.

Despite the ubiquity of automobility, the reality of automotive death is hidden from everyday view. There are accident blackspots all over the roads that we use and go past every day but the people that have died there or been injured are not marked, unless by homemade shrines and personal memorialization. Nowhere on the planet is this practice as densely actioned as in the United States. Road Scars is a highly visual scholarly monograph about how roadside car crash shrines place the collective trauma of living in a car culture in the everyday landscapes of automobility. Roadside shrines—or road trauma shrines—are vernacular memorial assemblages built by private individuals at sites where family and friends have died in automobile accidents, either while driving cars or motorcycles or being hit by cars as pedestrians, bicyclists, or motorcyclists. Prevalent for decades in Latin America and in the American Southwest, roadside car crash shrines are now present throughout the U.S. and around the world. Some are simply small white crosses, almost silent markers of places of traumatic death. Others are elaborate collections of objects, texts, and materials from all over the map culturally and physically, all significantly brought together not in the home or in a cemetery but on the roadside, in drivable public space—a space where private individuals perform private identities alongside each other in public, and where these private mobilities sometimes collide with one another in traumatic ways that are negotiated in roadside shrines. This book touches on something many of us have seen, but few have explored intellectually.

With thought provoking images In Memory Of... features key actions from the Australian Transport Council (ATC) that has been proven to save lives. The images giving the work done by the ATC a personal feel with a sense of urgency and hope, it gives the reader a chance to save a life and practice Road Safe Behaviour. Once this book is opened it is difficult to put down visually stimulating and truly informative it is a must read for all.

Ritual deposition is not an activity that many people in the Western world would consider themselves participants of. The enigmatic beliefs and magical thinking that led to the deposition of swords in watery places and votive statuettes in temples, for example, may feel irrelevant to the modern day. However, it could be argued that ritual deposition is a more widespread feature now than in the past, with folk assemblages – from roadside memorials and love-lock bridges, to wishing fountains and coin-trees – emerging prolifically worldwide. Despite these assemblages being as much the result of ritual activity as historically deposited objects, they are rarely given the same academic attention or heritage status. As well as exploring the nature of ritual deposition in the contemporary West, and the beliefs and symbolisms behind various assemblages, this Element explores the heritage of the modern-day deposit, promoting a renegotiation of the pejorative term 'ritual litter'.

Karpaten written by Roman Signer and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2012 with Carpathian Mountains Region categories.
This book presents photos taken by Roman Signer on a 2005 journey through the Carpathian Mountains, which took him to the Ukraine and Romania. The photos evidence brief stops at the side of the road and present subjects that fall into two distinct categories: home-grown fruits, vegetables and other produce for sale, carefully displayed on stools or small tables; and loving memorials of flowers, crosses and wreaths for deceased family members and friends who were road casualties. The similarity between each composition - the landscape format, the colourful centred arrangement, the consistent distance between photographer and subject - belies a deeper message: the produce suggests sustenance, growth and plenty; while the memorials are signs of tragedy and grief. Karpaten / Carpathians is thus not only a collection of travel photos, but a reflection of the human need to shape events, and a succinct story of life and death - both realities along the metaphorical road on which we all travel.
