Series Statement:
Routledge advances in event research series
Content:
"This unique volume examines death from a socio-cultural events perspective. Drawing on the empirical and conceptual work produced by an international body of researchers, it is the first publication to look at death, dying, memorialization, and their mediation, from an events orientation. By placing the contribution of these scholars together, this book provides a unique opportunity to instigate an international, critical discussion, around the connectivities associated with death and events. Chapters consider connections to death and events at an individual level; localised, communally based, construals of the event landscape; the relationship between death and events into larger socio-cultural frames of reference; and how death and events are manifest through diverse platforms of mediation, with a discussion of the media presentation of end of life events and the articulation of death online. Case studies from a wide-ranging selection of countries, from Moscow to Bangladesh to Cambodia, are examined throughout. This will be of great interest to upper-level students and researchers in event studies as well as a variety of other disciplines such as, sociology and cultural studies"--
