The Matter of Death de J. Hockey

The Matter of Death: Space, Place and Materiality

J. Hockey

C. Komaromy

K. Woodthorpe

This collection opens up spaces where lives end, bodies are disposed of and memories generated: hospitals, hospices, care homes, coroners' courts, funeral premises, cemeteries, roadsides, the spirit world. Using material culture studies it illuminates the ways human beings make meaningful the challenges of death, dying and bereavement.
