title = "Shocked in more ways than one.: Media (re)presentation of improvised funerary activities after the 2015 earthquake in Nepal",
abstract = "When Nepal was shaken by a severe earthquake on 25 April 2015, global media tended to report on it in the usual way: a quick visit to one of the demolished sites, a few quotes, a single miraculous rescue operation, and a horrified photograph of 'mass cremations'. Considering that open cremation fires are traditional in Nepal, one could wonder what such news reports really disclose: deeply felt transcultural sympathy or a cross-cultural faux-pas?",
