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.

This article examines the semantic and pragmatic transformations of cognitive linguistic terms influenced by mass media. When introduced into non-specialized discourse, a term can lose its connection with its scientific concept and develop new, common meanings through processes of narrowing, broadening, differentiation, attraction, metaphorical and metonymic transfer, and more. This results in an incorrect representation ...

Сегодня музей рассматривается не только как место сохранения и репрезентации культурных объектов и ценностей, но и во многом как агент социальной инклюзии. Особое внимание при этом в российском контексте уделяется работе с людьми с разными формами инвалидности, в основе которой лежит принцип «ничего о нас без нас», стимулирующий музеи вовлекать людей с различным жизненным опытом не только ...

В конце 1980‑х гг. в Китае начался период реформ, который стимулировал бурную урбанизацию, а также позволил сельскому обществу повысить самостоятельность. В то же время централизованное управление под руководством Коммунистической партии Китая (КПК) по-прежнему играет очень большую роль в развитии села в современном Китае. На сегодняшний день уже нельзя рассматривать китайское сельское общество лишь как платформу ...

The privacy calculus model has been widely applied to examine how social networking site (SNS) users balance perceived risks and benefits in their privacy decisions. However, it remains unclear how this risk–benefit evaluation, after translating into corresponding privacy behaviors, subsequently affects users’ well-being. This study proposes an extended model in which several measures of well-being ...

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 ...
