    <ns1:description language="it">Il titolo di questo volume si riferisce ai concetti buddisti di sofferenza, impermanenza e origine dipendente, che collegano le idee di Morte e Desiderio. Questo libro nasce da una ricerca condotta negli ultimi anni all&apos;Università Ca &apos;Foscari di Venezia, sostenuta dalla Japan Foundation. Gran parte del lavoro è stato svolto da studiosi in varie discipline sulla morte in Giappone, ma la ricerca ha teso a concentrarsi sulle pratiche attraverso le quali la morte è stabilita e istituzionalizzata. Eppure, che dire della morte selvaggia e instabile? E i casi in cui la morte non può essere affrontata con successo con mezzi rituali? Cosa succede se istituzioni e discorsi non bastano per domarlo? E i casi in cui la morte irrequieta si intromette improvvisamente nel sociale? Quali sono le forme che assume e le conseguenze che ha sul sociale? Queste sono le domande che il volume affronta, coinvolgendo rappresentazioni, pratiche e arti dello spettacolo, attraverso contributi che si basano su approcci di diverse discipline. Ognuno di loro analizza una delle molteplici e frammentate possibilità in cui la morte selvaggia può domare il sociale.

    <ns1:description language="en">The title of this volume refers to the Buddhist concepts of suffering, impermanence and dependent origination, which link the ideas of Death and Desire. This book stems from a research conducted in the last few years at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, supported by the Japan Foundation. A great deal of work has been done by scholars in various disciplines about dying in Japan, but research has tended to focus on the practices through which death is settled and institutionalised. Yet, what about untamed and unsettled death? What about the cases in which death cannot be successfully coped with by ritual means? What happens if institutions and discourses are not enough to tame it? What about the cases in which unsettled death suddenly intrudes the social? What are the forms it takes and the consequences it has in the social? These are the questions that the volume addresses, by enmeshing representations, practices and performing arts, through contributions that rely on approaches from different disciplines. Each of them analyses one of the multiple and fragmented possibilities in which untamed death can tame the social.
