"Mourning Diana" revisits the remarkable series of public events
that occurred across the world following the tragic death of
Princess Diana, from the spontaneous public gatherings right after
the news broke to the official funeral ceremonies. The book takes
the Diana events as a case study for the examination of a number of
key questions in contemporary culture and within contemporary
cultural and performance studies.
The editors have brought together a distinguished group of
international contributors whom:
*view the Diana events as a case study of wider cultural processes
and questions
*discuss a range of interdisciplinary concerns informed by cultural
studies, performance studies, gender, sexuality, and
sociology
*provide a substantive theory of the power relations of mourning,
social drama, iconicity and cultural narration
*explore how the boundaries of the mainstream seemed to shift in
the wake of Diana events, and how the questions of institutional
privilege, social dispossession and cultural power which Diana
embodied were brought to the forefront in the global reaction to
her death
In a context in which considerable dispute has taken place over the
meanings and seriousness of the Diana events, the publication of
this serious, reflective, and sober critique speaks to and
re-addresses this controversy.
