[ecrea] Spectacular Death: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Mortality and (Un)Representability

*Spectacular Death: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Mortality and 
(Un)Representability
**Edited By Tristanne Connolly *


*About the book
*Though it touches us all, we can only perceive death in life - with the 
predictable
result that we treat it either as a clinical or social problem or as a
phenomenon to be studied quantitatively. Drawing on the very latest in the
medical humanities, Spectacular Death considers to what extent a subject
as elusive as death can be examined.

An interdisciplinary collection of essays on the medical and social 
articulation
of death, this volume goes beyond previous models to question how
the management of death is organized and motivated and the ways that
death is at once feared and embraced.
