State Funerals in Dubrovnik (17th-18th Century)

Nella Lonza

Sažetak

The author examines seventeenth and eighteenth century ceremonial funerals of various officials of the state (rector, state secretary), and the Church (archbishop of Dubrovnik, bishop of Ston). She points to the transformation these funerals experienced in the middle of the eighteenth century, being divided into a private and public ceremony. By examining the role of effigy in the rite, the author highlights the complexity and theatrical aspect of the ceremony. Drawing a parallel with similar practices elsewhere in Europe, the author pinpoints and interprets the particularities of the state funerary ritual of Dubrovnik, emphasizing their significance in creating a genuine picture of the political establishment and social order.
