Routledge Death and Events: International Perspectives Book

Death and Events: International Perspectives on Events Marking the End of Life offers a fresh look at death through the lens of socio-cultural events. As part of the Routledge Advances in Event Research Series, this volume is the first of its kind to examine death, dying, and memorialization from an events orientation. By gathering empirical and conceptual work from an international group of researchers, this book facilitates a critical global discussion. It explores the connections between death and events across multiple levels, including individual, local, and communal scales. This collection provides a necessary framework for understanding how death and its mediation are experienced and managed within various societies. It is an essential resource for those studying the sociology and anthropology of life transitions and commemorative practices.
