This book investigates death as part of contemporary everyday experience and practices.Through a cultural sociological lens, it studies death as it remains constantly at the edge of ourconsciousness, shaping the ways in which we move through social reality. As such, Death Matters isa significant contribution to death studies, going beyond traditional parameters of the field byaddressing the cultural omnipresence of death. The contributions analyse several death-related meaning-making processes, arguing thatmeanings emerging from culturally shared narratives, social institutions, and materialconditions, are just as important as 'death practices' in understanding the role of death insociety. Drawing on the related themes of places of absence and presence, disease and bodies,and persons and non-persons, the authors explore a variety of areas of social life, from hauntingto celebrity deaths, to move the notion of death from the margins of social reality to ongoingeveryday life. This far-reaching collection will be of use to scholars and students across death studies,sociology, anthropology, philosophy, culture, media and communication studies.
