[ecrea] CFP: Death & Culture II Conference

We're pleased to announce that the call for papers deadline for the 
second Death & Culture conference has been extended to 1st May.

Death & Culture II Conference
6-7 September 2018, University of York

Registration and abstract submission are now open for the second 
iteration of the Death and Culture conference taking place in September 
2018. Registration fees include food and drink for the two days and a 
conference meal.
 The human response to mortality is a research theme across the arts, 
humanities and social sciences. As a result, this conference seeks to 
provide a forum for networking and sharing interdisciplinary death 
scholarship. We welcome research rooted in empirical studies as well as 
conceptual and theoretical engagement which focus on cultural responses 
to death and the ways it has shaped understandings and perspectives on 
mortality. The conference, in its second iteration, seeks to continue 
engaging with the study of mortality as an academic enterprise, 
supported by evidence and framed by theoretical engagement. This truly 
interdisciplinary event brings together death scholars, including 
postgraduates, as well as those who might not consider themselves death 
scholars whose work that overlaps with death and the dead.
 2016’s inaugural conference was a roaring success, with papers 
presented from a variety of different disciplines across three days. 
This year, we invite abstracts that contribute (but are not limited) to 
the following themes;
•	Governance of mortality;
•	Death in the popular imagination;
•	Death and the digital realm;
•	Work in the death industry;
•	Mass death in the age of individualism;
•	Artistic death.
