Abstract:
The newspaper enables the readers to obtain enlightenment, particularly moral values. Moral values can be obtained through obituary writings. This study was aimed at elaborating the reference, author’s perspective, technique of collecting material, role assertion, contribution to writing biography, and motive in the obituary. The data were obtained through a documentation technique while the data source was attained from the printed version of the called Kompas Indonesia newspapers from 2015 to 2017. The newspaper was the only one in the country giving this special rubric. The study applied the referential identity method, marker reading technique, and pragmatic identity analysis as well as pedagogic and hermeneutic approach. Results show that the obituary texts in the newspaper are potential to become a learning material in Indonesian language education, particularly in the elementary school. The inspirational figures can further impact on students’ character building.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTBackground: Populations worldwide are aging and the overall prevalence of dementia at death is now 30%. Since the contemporary social impact of a disease is indicated by the frequency of its newspaper coverage and since obituary notices illuminate conceptions of death, we hypothesized that obituary notices placed by families would reflect societal attitudes to aging and dementia.Methods: We undertook critical discourse analysis of obituaries in representative national and local newspapers in Canada and the U.K.Results: In the 799 obituaries studied, chronological age, suggested donations in memory of the deceased, and donations to dementia charities were each included in significantly more obituaries in Canadian newspapers than in U.K. ones. Military service was explicit for significantly more men aged ≥ 80 years in Canada compared to the U.K. (41% versus 4%; p < 0.05). Of the donations to medical charities, nearly half (n = 117) were to cancer charities and one-fifth (54) to heart and stroke foundations. In the U.K., obituaries for those aged ≥ 70 years were more likely to recommend donations to children's charities (n = 12) or the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (8) than dementia charities (7).Conclusions: Donations to dementia charities were significantly more common in obituaries in Canada than in the U.K. In both countries, donations to medical charities did not reflect disease prevalence or impact to the individual. Societal attitudes in the U.K. may be impacted by the fragmentation of aging research and antipathy to geriatric medicine in the national medical press.

Abstract:
Newspaper obituaries are important mourning rituals that announce the deaths of individuals and share their life stories with others. Obituaries also provide insight into the societal values and attitudes of the day. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether factors such as gender and age were related to age-inaccuracy in obituary photographs and whether the level of age-inaccurate photographs has increased over time. Obituary photographs were analyzed from The Cleveland Plain Dealer for the years 1967, 1977, 1987, and 1997 ( N = 400). Results indicated that obituary photographs of women ( p < 0.001) and of older adults ( p < 0.001) were much more likely to be age-inaccurate. Analysis also revealed a consistent upward trend in age-inaccurate photographs over time ( p < 0.05). The findings from this study indicate that society's bias toward youthful appearance has persisted and grown over time, particularly in the case of older women.

Abstract:
This research examines the location and timing of deaths among elderly males and females. Data were gathered and analyzed from 913 obituary notices in an upstate New York Metropolitan newspaper. The obituary notices were collected between August 1994 and October 1994. The data reinforce previous research supporting the institutionalization of death among the elderly. That is, the majority of deaths among the elderly occur in hospitals and nursing homes. Although some gender differences are noted, variations between elderly men and women in the location and timing of death are minimal. Marital status and number of surviving children and siblings of the decedent were also examined relative to the location and timing of death. Controlling for marital status and number of surviving family members does not alter the timing or location of death. Social policy implications associated with future aging populations are addressed.

Abstract:
The Ukrainian newspaper «Zolochivske Slovo» issued in Zolochiv in 1918―1919s has yet to be an object of scholarly scrutiny. O. Drozdovska characterized it to some extent in the historical and bibliographical study «Ukraiinski chasopysy povitovykh mist Halychyny (1865―1939)». Concise articles concerning this edition were printed in some Ukrainian encyclopedias as well. In our study, a history of emergence and specificity of the periodical’s functioning has been traced. Due to unfavorable political circumstances, this publication came out only till May 21, 1919. The topics of articles of the newspaper «Zolochivske Slovo» have been analyzed, as well as the problems covered most frequently by journalists, have been determined. Specifically, socio-political topics gaining specific relevance after developments of November 1, 1918, have been accentuated. Thanks to the very November uprising [Lystopadovyi Chyn], the West Ukrainian People’s Republic (ZUNR) was created, and the Ukrainian press’ publishing activated. Particular attention has been paid to obituaries since they aimed not only to preserve memory about perished comrades, Ukrainian Sich Riflemen, but also urged others to struggle for the future of the young Ukrainian state. In the article belle-Lettres publications published in the newspaper during the M. Golubets’ editorship, have been documented. The authorship of the newspaper has been elucidated. In its issuing participated such prominent public figures as Mykola Golubets’ (the cooperation with this newspaper is a little-known fact of creative biography of this renowned Galician figure). Keywords: newspaper «Zolochivske Slovo», editor, publisher, article, topics/thematic, heading, authorship, M. Holubets’, obituary, Sich riflemen, independence.

Abstract:
This research is a content analysis of obituary notices gathered over a one-year period of time from a newspaper in a micropolitan area in northwest Ohio. Obituary collection was limited to those aged 65 and over at the time of death and who resided in the region. The purpose of the research is to examine marital and family patterns such as age at marriage, length of marriage, marital status at time of death, and number of surviving children and their offspring. The data indicate that single women had the highest average age at death while those married at time of death were married earlier, generally died at an older age, and had fewer surviving children and grandchildren when compared with women widowed at time of death. Patterns were less consistent among men. However, men widowed at time of death were generally older at time of death when compared with men married at time of death.

Abstract:
News organisations have traditionally been shy about covering their own affairs. In the nineteenth century, the first mention of the editor of the London Times in the columns of his own newspaper was his obituary – even though the cognoscenti knew he was a significant political force. Early in World War II, The Sydney Morning Herald was outraged by the policies of the Menzies Government in relation to paper rationing and the launching of The Daily Mirror. Its private lobbying and protests were frantic, but the issue was barely canvassed in its own news columns (Souter, 1981: 187ff).

Abstract:
The article compares for the first time the philosophical and aesthetic views on Russian literature and language of two prominent representatives of Russian abroad — the critic Yu.I. Aykhenvald (1872–1928) and the medievalist, interpreter of Russian classics P.M. Bitsilli (1879–1953). A full overview of factual materials identified to date is given, confirming the mutual interest of Yu.I. Aykhenvald and P.M. Bitsilli: documents from P.M. Bitsilli collection at the Institute of Russian literature (Pushkin House) of the RAS, Yu.I.Aykhenvald’s review from the Berlin newspaper “Rul'”on P.M. Bitsilli’s “Studies on Russian Poetry”, obituary of Yu.I. Aykhenvald, which was published by P.M. Bitsilli in the Sofia newspaper “Golos”. Among the issues raised are the impact which Aykhenvald’s immanent method of analyzing a literary text had on P.M. Bitsilli’s aesthetically individualizing method, the approaches of both authors to solving the morphology of Russian culture and philosophy of the nation, the connection of the Pushkin theme with thoughts about the fate of post-revolutionary Russia and Russian language in their works, which they articulated during the discussion of S. and A. Volkonsky’s book “In defense of the Russian language”.

Abstract:
Australian newspapers in recent years have increased significantly the column space devoted to obituaries. The Sydney Morning Herald, the Australian, the Age, the West Australian, the Herald Sun, the Canberra Times, the Advertiser, and the Courier-Mail now publish them in dedicated sections, often allocating an entire page to the obituary art. Their popularity in Australia follows a pattern established during the 1980s in Britain and the United States. Australian practice has been influenced in particular by developments in British journalism, which has seen a phenomenon described by the Wall Street Journal as ‘an odd revival…the rebirth of long newspaper obituaries’.† In its first incarnation, the obituary can be traced to the newsbooks of England which appeared in the 1660s, during the Restoration. It flowered in the 18th century, in the first daily newspapers and magazines; it grew luxuriant, and sometimes ornate, in the 19th century; it became unfashionable and fell into some general neglect in the 20th. Then, with the appointment of reformist editors and, particularly in Britain, the publication of bigger newspapers by an industry no longer subjected to labour restraint, the obituary itself experienced restoration. Though the momentum of renewed practice has been of mutual rapidity on three continents, there are some significant variations in its application. The American product generally favours a style faithful to news-writing principles so far as timing and content are concerned and is frequently expansive when relating the details of surviving family and funeral arrangements. In Britain, the emphasis is more on creative composition and a recitation of anecdotes, with less of a sense of urgency about news value and a consequent accent on character sketch. Both models, in recent years, have displayed a propensity for explicit appraisal and an increasing willingness to publish obituaries of those who have undermined, rather than adorned, society. Newspapers in Australia, while adopting the obituary with apparent fervour, have found their delivery of the product restrained by a lack of resources. Obituary desks in this country are staffed by a solitary journalist-editor. This has resulted in a reliance, often to an unhealthy degree, on contributions by readers. The tone of this material, with its intimacy of address and excess in sentiment, sits uneasily when appearing on the same page as obituaries syndicated from overseas sources. Contemporary obituary publication in the United States has been subjected to some scholarly analysis in terms of gender balance, identification of cause of death, and the demographic mix of its subject selection. This thesis, by means of a six-month content analysis, addresses such questions for the first time in an Australian context. In addition, it examines issues of style, origin and authorship. It finds that cause of death is identified much less than is the case in American obituary practice, that women are significantly under-represented, and that editing is sometimes haphazard. Nevertheless, the accumulated body of evidence points resolutely to a remarkable reinvigoration of practice in Australia’s daily newspapers. The thesis, by discussing the views of specialists in the field of obituary publication, pursues mechanisms for sustaining the momentum and for improving the product.

Abstract:
This thesis reviews the background, influences, and evolution of three works that form Posthumous, an exhibit by the thesis candidate. The thesis begins with a series of vignettes that relate a number of personal experiences involving death, and photography, which have influenced the conceptual development of the work. Chapters devoted to each piece follow the vignettes. These chapters refer to the various influences that have led to the development of the following works: Obit to Self: April 10, 2005, Posthumous, and Jay. These influences range from the movie Hotel Rwanda, to handbills for punk-rock shows. The thesis ends with a description of the exhibition at the Anderson Gallery.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses William Faulkner's influence and popularity, especially among reporters. It suggests that the true test of the influence and genuine popularity of an American writer is whether a newspaper can publish his obituary and offer a literary assessment without hiring a literary expert. Faulkner, it claims, was one of those writers. He commanded the loyalty of a large body of working reporters. Long before he won the Nobel Prize there were newspapermen in Charlotte, North Carolina who considered every book of his an event. There are Southern school boys who write they wished they had died at Gettysburg just as there are Northerners who believe the South is composed of decaying mansions populated by decadent families. The chapter argues that Faulkner played an important role in bridging these conceptions and in a large sense, he can be compared to Charles Dickens.

Abstract:
This chapter presents an obituary of Andrzej Szczypiorski (1924–2000). Szczypiorski was born in Warsaw the son of an eminent Polish Socialist Party activist. He saw the outbreak of war and the German invasion through the eyes of a 15 year old, then the destruction of the Warsaw ghetto from the ‘Aryan’ side. He took part in the Warsaw uprising, which landed him in the concentration camp in Sachsenhausen. After the war, the new regime in Poland found in him a keen supporter, but his independent spirit soon led him into opposition. In his books and newspaper columns, the chapter reveals how the events of that era find a true and full reflection of contemporary Polish history. It also discusses some of his books from the last decade: The Mass for the Town of Arras, Night, Day and Night, American Whisky, To Catch the Shadow, and Selfportrait with Woman.
