Culture of Death
Search in google:
By culture of death, Noys (English, U. College Chichester) is not referring to the shrill political debates in the US—one side citing war and execution and the other abortion and euthanasia. Rather he looks at the cultural trappings of death, investigating whether there is anything distinctive about it in contemporary Western society. He draws on a range of theorists and writers about modern death, and both high and popular art, literature, and film. His topics include the space of death, politicizing death, bioethics, and transgressive death. Distributed in the US by Palgrave Macmillan. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
