Allvarligt talat: Berättelser om livet utforskar det allvarliga från olika tider och sammanhang. Betydelsen av ordet allvarligt följer tre linjer. En rör människans existens, helt enkelt meningen med livet. I alla tider har denna fråga varit aktuell. En annan klargör hur sjukdom och död har gripit in i och vänt upp och ned på människors liv. Smärtorna inför insikten om livets förgänglighet bär tidlöshetens tecken, om än uttrycken varierar. Allvarets tredje betydelse poängterar orättvisa samhällsvillkor och rädslan inför genomgripande förändringar. Boken är en historisk resa, från antiken till vår tid. Olika tider skapar varierande former av allvar. Resan påminner om att det djupt mänskliga kan kännas igen från en tid till en annan. Författarna är alla verksamma forskare i humaniora. Här samlas historiker, litteraturvetare, religionshistoriker, musikvetare, språkvetare, konstvetare, antikvetare och arkeologer för att utforska livets och samhällets allvar. Forskarna studerar dödens symbolik i skiftande tider och pekar på hur rädsla för sjukdom och död alltid har varit aktuell. De visar hur könsnormer i högre grad begränsat kvinnor än män, hur det förflutna uttolkas genom manliga glasögon och vilka skeva uppfattningar som nutiden därför har. De framhåller också den oro som djupgående samhällsförändringar, krig och andra trauman har fört med sig. Biografiska perspektiv används för att komma nära det allvarliga i livet. Genom bokens alla aspekter på mänskligt allvar kan vi få nya kunskaper om historiens och livets skiftande förutsättningar. Budskapet är tydligt: humaniora är på allvar.
