“坟墓”通常被视为死亡本身的象征性代表——不为人知的秘密通常被带到“坟墓”——而且对于尸体放置腐烂的地面上的洞来说,几乎没有什么含糊之处。对于罗马天主教徒来说,坟墓空间的奉献仍然是灵魂最终命运的重要决定因素,尽管对于新教文化来说,坟墓本身的性质并不那么重要。然而,在十八世纪和十九世纪期间,科学认识开始应用于定义理想卫生坟墓的规格。由于人们相信腐烂遗骸产生的散发物或瘴气对人类有有害影响,而且令人沮丧的是越来越多的城市死者被证明无法控制,因此增加了这项任务的重要性。先前的学术研究描述了这一困难的后果之一:即建立新的墓地,将死者从市中心转移到外围。
‘The grave’is often taken as a symbolic representation of mortality itself–untold secrets are generally taken ‘to the grave’–and there can be little ambiguity with regard to the hole in the ground where the dead body is placed to decompose. For Roman Catholics, consecration of the grave space remained an important determinant of the eventual fate of the soul, although for Protestant cultures the nature of the grave itself carried no such importance. However, during the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, scientific understanding began to be applied to the task of defining the specifications of an ideal sanitary grave. The importance of this task had been increased by both a belief that emanations or miasmas from decomposing remains had deleterious effects on the human subject, and dismay that the increasing mass of urban dead were proving impossible to contain. Previous academic studies have described one consequence of the difficulty: that is, the creation of new cemeteries, which relocated the dead from the city centre to its periphery.
