This sub-project of the research group FOR 2828 De/Sacralization of texts, investigates the connections between references to texts and the use of biographical material within funeral speeches. Based on the observation that texts are quoted during funeral speeches in a variety of ways, as a means of interpreting the multifaceted lives of the deceased and the situation of the bereaved, the practice of drawing on texts in funerals will be empirically collected and analyzed. In this context, the use of “text” is understood as being a reference or quotation deriving from religious tradition, popular song lyrics, classical literature or quotations whose origin is not identified. The review of the life of the deceased as well as the effort to understand life in the face of death is often moderated by the reference to one or more texts. Texts are drawn upon as authoritative sources which hold the potential for further interpretation. In this sense, funeral speeches are in many ways characterized by intertextuality: they are to be analyzed as text compositions or bricolages and their functional ritual contexts will be described.In the context of the research group FOR 2828, the relationship between text usage and the interpretation of life will be examined and described as a dynamic of De/Sacralization. The research hypothesis that the reference to texts has a key function for contemporary religious communication can be tested using the concrete example of eulogies. The funeral (with a focus on funeral orations/mourning speeches) is understood as a medium for the public reflection upon of life orientation and the contemplation of the meaning of life on the occasion of a death. Against the background of religious pluralization and transcultural dynamics, the project aims to show how texts are pragmatized for understanding life in the face of death. The sub-project pursues three goals: 1. to name (some of) the texts that are ascribed the potential to interpret an individual life story. This will contribute to the canonization or decanonization of texts; 2. to describe the interactions between texts and life histories in more detail and to determine how the texts function to interpret a life; 3. to analyze the arguments for values and patterns of interpretation in pluralistic religious and cultural contexts.

这是2828文本去神化研究小组的一个子项目，调查了在葬礼演讲中引用文本和使用传记材料之间的联系。根据在葬礼演讲中引用文本的方式多种多样的观察，作为一种解释死者多方面生活和丧失亲人情况的手段，本文将对葬礼中引用文本的做法进行实证收集和分析。在这种情况下，“文本”的使用被理解为来自宗教传统、流行歌曲歌词、古典文学或来源不明的语录的引用或引用。对死者生活的回顾以及在面对死亡时理解生活的努力往往受到引用一本或多本文本的影响。文本被用作具有进一步解释潜力的权威来源。在这个意义上，葬礼演讲在许多方面都具有互文性的特征：它们被分析为文本成分或小标题，其功能仪式语境将被描述。在2828课题组的背景下，文本使用与对生活的解释之间的关系将被描述为一种去神化的动态。引用文本对当代宗教传播具有关键作用的研究假设可以用悼词的具体例子来检验。葬礼(重点是葬礼演讲/悼念演讲)被理解为公众在死亡之际反思生命取向和思考生命意义的一种媒介。在宗教多元化和跨文化动态的背景下，该项目旨在展示文本如何实用化，以便在面对死亡时理解生命。这个子项目追求三个目标：1.列举(一些)被认为具有解释个人生活故事潜力的文本。这将有助于文本的经典化或解神化；2.更详细地描述文本与生活史之间的互动，并确定文本如何解释生活；3.分析多元宗教和文化语境中的价值观和解释模式的争论。
