[Commlist] Call for Papers: Death & Culture III

Death & Culture III

York St John University, 3-4 September 2020

The Death & Culture Network (DaCNet) based at the University of York is 
pleased to invite abstracts for Death & Culture III, the third iteration 
of its biennial conference.
Founded in 2016, DaCNet seeks to explore and understand cultural 
responses to mortality. It focuses on the impact of death and the dead 
on culture, and the way in which they have shaped human behaviour, 
evidenced through thought, action, production and expression. The 
network is committed to promoting and producing an inter-disciplinary 
study of mortality supported by evidence and framed by theoretical 
engagement.
Death & Culture III promotes the continuing engagement with the study of 
death, and acts as a forum for networking and the sharing of 
multidisciplinary death scholarship. We welcome contributions on topics 
including, but not limited to:
•	Death and the popular imagination
•	Work in death and death-adjacent industries
•	Governance of mortality
•	Death in the digital age
•	Mass death in the age of individualism
•	Artistic approaches to mortality
This internationally reaching conference will bring together death 
scholars, including postgraduate students, artists, the charity sector, 
the professional environment, as well as those who might not consider 
themselves death scholars whose work overlaps with thanatological enquiry.
