An Anthology of Death, Dying, and the Living offers students a
multifaceted, cross-disciplinary, and intellectual exploration of
death, what it means to be human, and what it means to truly live.
Through a historic and anthropological lens, students read articles
that address diverse domestic and international events and convene
a variety of perspectives in terms of culture and identity as they
relate to death, dying, and living. The anthology is divided into
five distinct sections: Should We Fear Death? To Die is to Have
Lived!; Existential Death-Suicide?; Death and the Family; Death and
the Self (Grief, Mourning, and Elegies); and Biomedical Death-What
Does it Mean to Die with Dignity?. Each section features articles
from a variety of sources that draw from the disciplines of
anthropology, philosophy, psychology, sociology, biology, politics,
government and law, and religious studies. Students experience a
holistic and complete examination of various understandings,
interpretations, and viewpoints about life, death, and the
interplay between the two. The revised first edition includes two
new readings. The first is an article by the editor, Atiba Rougier,
that considers the national-and personal-impacts of 9/11 and
COVID-19, and the second is a piece by a gastroenterologist and
chronicles how their role at a hospital changed during the
pandemic. An accessible, emotional, and thought-provoking
collection, An Anthology of Death, Dying, and the Living is well
suited for courses that explore death and dying from a
sociological, psychological, philosophical, or anthropological
perspective.
