dc.description.abstractThe practices that are formed around death and dying reflect an identification process. This identification process also refers to the transfer of culture from generation to generation. This study that puts Death in sociological imagination, is pursuing efforts to determine different aspects of death from individual views and to discover how it is re-produced through social practices. For this study, religious, magical, and cultural practices during a death process; practices of enshrouding and purification of the corpse, such as forms of burial and cemeteries; prevention rites and rituals from spirits characterize effects of dying and death practices on cultural identity. The study tries to confirm stable aspects of identity and culture according to changing, perishable and reviewed forms in process of dying and death. Though the study is an attempt of sociology of death, it also analyses meanings of death reality, which meet with concrete practical situations in social life, through two patterns. The sociological views of death, "Dead Day" that applied to the region of the Igdir province of Turkey and "Day of the Dead" in Mexico is considered a comparative analysis. Both of the cases aim at reading the relationship between culture and identity via social implications like similarities and concerns of two ceremonies. The obtained data were analysed around the question of how death shapes communities axis of culture and identity.en_US
