The article is a contribution to the task of developing a cross-cultural model of grief. It shows that grief narratives can be complexly interwoven with the religious and political narratives of the culture. Two political reforms in which religious narratives figured prominently are given as case examples: 19th-century Spiritualism in North America and the Deuteronomic reform in 7th-century BCE Israel. Similarities and differences between the two are discussed. The article concludes that an adequate cross-cultural model of grief must be capable of explaining how a particular grief narrative relates to the politics and religious narratives in which it is set.
本文有助于构建一个跨文化的悲伤模型。它表明，悲伤叙事可能与文化中的宗教和政治叙事复杂地交织在一起。文中给出了两个宗教叙事显著的政治改革案例：19世纪北美唯灵论和公元前7世纪以色列的申命记改革。讨论了两者之间的异同。文章得出结论，一个恰当的跨文化悲伤模型必须能够解释特定的悲伤叙事如何与它所处的政治和宗教叙事相关联。
