Alle Exemplare der Ausgabe mit dieser ISBN anzeigen:Traditionally, the Chinese burn joss paper (ghost money) for their ancestors so that they can enjoy their afterlives. Houses, cars, and gold bars made out of paper were burnt in the weeks following a person's death. However, in recent times, as consumer culture takes hold of the Chinese culture, joss paper products have become more elaborate, reflecting the desires of those who are alive. In an increasingly westernized society, designer handbags, laptop computers, iPods, and fast food made out of paper are burnt for the recently deceased.

Buchbeschreibung Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Traditionally the Chinese burn joss paper (ghost money) for their ancestors so that they can enjoy their afterlives. In recent times, consumer culture has taken hold and these offerings have become more elaborate to reflect the desires of those who are still alive. In an increasingly westernised society, designer handbags, laptop computers, iPods and fast food made out of paper are instead burnt for the recently deceased. In Case it Rains in Heaven is a fascinating visual portrait of the modern manifestations of this ancient tradition. 96 pp. Englisch. Artikel-Nr. 9783868281880
