Synopsis

This book explores death in contemporary society, unfolding the notion of 'spectacular death' through studies that consider the new mediation or mediatisation of death and dying, the commercialisation of death as a commodity, the re-ritualisation of death, the palliative care revolution and the academic specialisation surrounding death.
