Sinopsis

This book explores death in contemporary society - or more precisely, in the âÇÖspectacular ageâÇÖ - by moving beyond classic studies of death that emphasised the importance of the death taboo and death denial to examine how we now âÇÖdoâÇÖ death. Unfolding the notion of âÇÖspectacular deathâÇÖ as characteristic of our modern approach to death and dying, it considers the new mediation or mediatisation of death and dying, the commercialisation of death as a âÇÖmarketable commodityâÇÖ used to sell products, advance artistic expression or provoke curiosity, the re-ritualisation of death and the growth of new ways of finding meaning through commemorating the dead, the revolution of palliative care, and the specialisation surrounding death, particularly in relation to scholarship. Presenting a range of case studies that shed light on this new understanding of death in contemporary culture, The Age of Spectacular Death will appeal to scholars of sociology, cultural and media studies, psychology and anthropology with interests in death and dying.á
