| description | The body is one of the basic media that form and communicate gender. How important gender is for the perception of an individual becomes especially clear by looking at the exhibition of a dead body.

In this article, I will focus on Central Europe, and argue that material presentations are an authoritative means of forming concepts of gender and religion. |
