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 on many levels, including individual, local, communally based, construals of the event landscape; the relationship between death and events into larger socio-cultural frames of reference. Chapteres also consider 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.

pay, and generally retentive labor practices that were a ...

Символические объекты исполняют в застроенном пространстве роль метафоры, погружающей в образ города. Особенно такие объекты важны в столицах, где они должны как репрезентировать всю страну миру, так и выступать представителями регионов, а также подчеркивать временную преемственность текущего состояния с воображаемой непрерывной историей. Повышенная знаковая, сигнификативная функция символических объектов часто вводит их в конфликт с непосредственным ...
