Scholars of literature, social sciences, media, and the arts examine death in society, death in literature, death in visual culture, cemeteries and funerals, and personal reflections on death. Among their topics are war and requiem compositions during the 20th century, communally acknowledged "good death" in Ernst Gaine's A Lesson Before Dying, why art by serial killers sells, the ideological function of the Mummies of the World Exhibit, scenarios of death in contexts of mobility among Guineans and Bangladeshis in Lisbon, and intertextuality in active euthanasia practices.
