With intense and violent portrayals of death becoming ever more
common on television and in cinema and the growth of death-centric
movies, series, texts, songs, and video clips attracting a wide and
enthusiastic global reception, we might well ask whether death has
ceased to be a taboo. What makes thanatic themes so desirable in
popular culture? Do representations of the macabre and gore
perpetuate or sublimate violent desires? Has contemporary popular
culture removed our unease with death? Can social media help us
cope with our mortality, or can music and art present death as an
aesthetic phenomenon? This volume adopts an interdisciplinary
approach to the discussion of the social, cultural, aesthetic, and
theoretical aspects of the ways in which popular culture
understands, represents, and manages death, bringing together
contributions from around the world focused on television, cinema,
popular literature, social media and the internet, art, music, and
advertising.
