UndergraduateRecenzii
'By raising questions about the analytical adequacy of current approaches, the authors develop innovative answers to our sociological understanding of the relationships between the social self, the sequestration of the dead body and the social presence of the dead ... This study is an important contribution to social theory and demonstrates the value of adopting the sociology of the body as a perspective on death and sequestration in contemporary society. It is an imaginative contribution to the cluster of disciplines that are situated around the dying body including palliative care, the social psychology of bereavement and the sociology of death and dying.' - -Brian Turner, University of Cambridge
