dc.description.abstractDie vorliegende Arbeit basiert auf einer quantitativen Inhaltsanalyse von ca. 2.600 privaten Todesanzeigen in deutschen Tageszeitungen über den Zeitraum von 1820 bis 1979. Das Projekt verfolgte einen doppelten Zweck: (1) Die Einführung von Studenten in die konzeptionelle Entwicklung und Durchführung empirischer Arbeiten und (2) den Wandel des Verhältnisses des modernen Menschen zum Tod aufzuklären. Anhand dieses Themas wurden die folgenden Ziele verfolgt: (1) Darstellung der Inhalte eines bislang eher unbekannten Informationsmediums, das in der sozialwissenschaftlichen Literatur allenfalls in essayistischer Weise behandelt wird und (2) Überprüfung der Relevanz dieses Mediums für sozialwissensschaftliche Problemstellungen, die über eine Deskription von Inhalten hinausreichen. Nach der inhaltlichen und statistischen Beschreibung der (standardisierten) Todesanzeigen wird die sozialwissenschaftliche Relevanz der Todesanzeige als Datengenerator abschließend diskutiert.

dc.description.abstract'The purpose of this article is twofold: first to give a description of the manifest contents of an until now unknown information medium - the privat announcements of death in daily news papers - which has been treated e.g. in the sociological literature of religion or culture in a possibly more essayistic way. And secondly to prove the relevance of this medium for sociological and historical questions e.g. the analysis of social and cultural change. The basis of our data are private announcements of death of Cologne newspaper 'Kölner Stadt Anzeiger', beginning with the early decades of the 19th century till the year 1983. The method used is quantitative content analysis. The results of our analysis show clear changes of the contents of death announcements over a period of 160 years and lead to new insights into the patterns of attitudes and behavior associated with death and dying. For historical analyses they seemed to be the only meaningful data source and in the actual analyses of problems of sociology of religion and culture they are a helpful complement to survey research or other investigations using different interview techniques. But there are two restrictions to make: the contents of death announcements represent only one way of possible reactions of men confronted with death and dying in their families. Our analysis is not able to give a comprehensive description and analysis of attitudes and behavior going beyond our material. And secondly the vast lack of a structural variable like occupation in our data prevents from some socio-structural analyses which could be important investigating the social and cultural change in a historical perspective.'
