Death, Dying and Bereavement: New Sociological Perspectives de Sharon Mallon

Death, Dying and Bereavement: New Sociological Perspectives: Sociological Futures

Editat de Sharon Mallon, Laura Towers
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 noi 2024
Whilst death, dying and bereavement are universal life events, the social conditions under which death takes place are fundamental in shaping how it is experienced by the individual and their family and friends. Bringing together contributors from around the world, this collection of essays provides sociological insights into death, dying and bereavement.
Drawing upon a range of sociological theorists including Émile Durkheim, Zygmunt Bauman and C. Wright Mills, the book reviews the historical contribution of sociology to the field of thanatology. In doing so, the book challenges individualistic psychological approaches to death, dying and bereavement and demonstrates how sociological approaches can shape, constrain and empower experiences by imbuing them with both collective and individual meaning. Chapter-length case studies explore a wide range of issues, from digital aspects of remembrance and memorialisation and continued threats to liberties that permit life and death decisions to discussions of the impact and likely legacy of COVID-19 and climate change.
This collection will be of interest to students and researchers in the social sciences with an interest in societal attitudes towards death and bereavement.

Recenzii

“These international authors and editors offer a substantial review of the cutting-edge of sociological insight into contemporary death, dying, and bereavement. The chapters engage with a fascinating span of analyses at the intersections of climate change, intersectionality, professional care, and the sociologies of time, reflexivity, or decoloniality. This book raises the bar for current sociological debates on human mortality.” 
Allan Kellehear, Professor of Health and Social Care, Northumbria University, UK
“A wide-ranging collection of chapters that provide academic and political insight into the contemporary experience of death, of dying and of bereavement.  As a whole, the volume engages with many key concerns and debates, making it invaluable reading for those working or interested in this area of scholarship.”
Gayle Letherby, Visiting Professor of Sociology, University of Plymouth, UK and Visiting Professor, Centre for Death and Society, University of Bath, UK
