Abstract

This study explores how Mayan people from Guatemala and Swedes view and behave toward death. Using an interpretative phenomenological analysis, 10 participants from each culture were interviewed to elucidate the most relevant and important emerging themes. The Mayan approach to death is based on a collective perspective in which consultations with Elders, ancient traditions, and rituals help provide answer to most existential inquiries surrounding death. In contrast, the Swedish approach is based on an individualistic, rational analysis with a focus on life instead of death, but also showing openness to new perspectives on death.

玛雅人和瑞典人对死亡的态度和做法

摘要

这项研究探索了来自危地马拉和瑞典人的玛雅人如何看待和对待死亡。使用解释性现象学分析,对每种文化的10名参与者进行了采访,以阐明最相关和最重要的新兴主题。玛雅人的死亡方法基于一种集体观点,在这种观点中,与长老,古老的传统和仪式的协商有助于对围绕死亡的大多数存在的询问提供答案。相比之下,瑞典的方法是基于个人主义的理性分析,侧重于生命而不是死亡,但也显示了对死亡的新观点的开放性。
