Description

Explore how contemporary society engages with death in this academic study from Routledge. Moving past traditional theories of death denial and the death taboo, this book examines how we now 'do' death in a modern context. This work introduces the concept of 'spectacular death' to explain our current approach to dying. It examines the mediatisation of death and how it is presented through various media. Readers will learn about the commercialisation of death, where it becomes a marketable commodity used to sell products, drive artistic expression, or spark curiosity. By looking at the re-ritualisation of death, this book provides a deep look into the social and cultural shifts occurring in the modern age. It is an essential resource for those studying the sociology and anthropology of death and dying in a media-saturated world.
