Full Description

Is it still impolite in our culture to talk about death?

We think not! In fact Death and Mortality don't gate-crash Culture's party they're definitely invited.?

Unearthing themes which are ever present but not always explicitly acknowledged, these studies bring together research from across the arts, humanities and social sciences, exploring aspects of death and mortality and their representation and influence across popular culture and the society in which we live.

Highly readable and relevant for a broad spectrum of scholars and researches working across multiple disciplines from sociology and criminology to art history and film studies.
