Description

The Age of Spectacular Death by Routledge explores how contemporary society approaches death in the modern era. Moving past classic studies that focus on death denial or taboos, this work examines how we now "do" death through the lens of a spectacular age. The text examines the mediatisation of dying and the way death has become a marketable commodity used to sell products, drive artistic expression, or trigger curiosity. It provides a deep look into the re-ritualisation of death and the emergence of new ways to experience loss in a media-driven world. This book is a significant resource for those studying the sociology and anthropology of death in a modern context.
