Improvised by women on the Mediterranean island of Corsica, the funeral laments called voceri, which means "sing," were traditionally performed over the body of the deceased and accompanied by wailing and other demonstrations of grief. Today, the voceru is no longer performed as a living tradition anywhere on the island, though it is still considered by many Corsican poets and singers to be foundational to Corsican expressive culture. Here, Rosenberg demonstrates the ways in which the Corsican voceru accomplished the cultural work associated with death and mourning in the traditional Corsican society and considers how the voceru has been adapted to accomplish comparable cultural work in the 21st century.
