An interdisciplinary collection of essays on the medical and social
articulation of death, this anthology considers to what extent a
subject as elusive as death can be examined. Though it touches us
all, we can perceive it only in life - with the predictable result
that we treat it either as a clinical or social problem to be
managed or as a phenomenon to be studied quantitatively. This
volume goes beyond these models to question self-reflexively how
the management of death is organized and motivated and the ways
that death is at once feared and embraced. Drawing on the very
latest in the medical humanities, Spectacular Death gives us an
enlightening new perspective on death from the classical world to
the twenty-first century.
