Reviews / Votes
"This collection reflects the great disciplinary diversity of editors Woodthorpe, Frisby and Michael-Fox whose expertise lies in sociology, history, English and media studies. Drawing on scholarly work from a wide variety of countries and from diverging historical periods, the editors have chosen a fascinating array of selections demonstrating the interplay between cultural institutions and death. Thanatology students will find many stimulating and thought-provoking viewpoints on the interplay between cultural institutions and death in this diverse collection." W. Feigelman, Nassau Community College, CHOICE Reviews "This collection offers clear and perceptive critical lenses to tropes about dying well, the 'pejorative state', necropolitics and the Death Positive Movement to name a few, which are soundly researched, timely and refreshing." Ruth McManus, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New ZealandMore details
