Abstract:
In this paper I will discuss Tiwi mortuary rites as a transformative, relational process in which the deceased's postself is created. The deceased's self is fashioned and manifested after death through a series of ritual practices performed by specific relatives. This approach allows me not only to stress the concern Tiwi people show about being remembered after death but also how this concern defines each participant's ceremonial role and constitutes one of the mortuary ritual's major aims. The deceased will be remembered as portrayed in the final rites.
