    Through examination of the death penalty in literature, Aaron Aquilina contests Heidegger's concept of 'being-towards-death' and proposes a new understanding of the political and philosophical subject. Dickens, Nabokov, Hugo, Sophocles and many others explore capital punishment in their works, from Antigone to Invitation to a Beheading. Using these varied case studies, Aquilina demonstrates how they all highlight two aspects of the experience. First, they uncover a particular state of being, or more precisely non-being, that comes with a death sentence, and, second, they reveal how this state exists beyond death row, as sovereignty and alterity are by no means confined to a prison cell. In contrast to Heidegger's being-towards-death, which individualizes the subject - only I can die my own death, supposedly - this book argues that, when condemned to death, the self and death collide, putting under erasure the category of subjectivity itself. Be it death row or not, when the supposed futurity of death is brought into the here and now, we encounter what Aquilina calls 'relational death'. Living on with death severs the subject's relation to itself, the other and political sociality as a whole, rendering the human less a named and recognizable 'being' than an anonymous 'living corpse', a human thing. In a sustained engagement with Blanchot, Levinas, Hegel, Agamben and Derrida, The Ontology of Death articulates a new theory of the subject, beyond political subjectivity defined by sovereignty and beyond the Heideggerian notion of ontological selfhood..

    That the Roman republic died is a commonplace often repeated. This volume examines the body-political imagery used by Roman orators and authors of the first century BCE to express this notion, with particular emphasis on such imagery as a tool of persuasion and the impact which it exerted on Roman politics of the period.

    Preliminary Material -- Introduction: As the End Approaches -- 1. Wang Yi on Integrity and Loyalty -- 2. A Young Lady on Yellow Pongee Silk -- 3. Ruan Ji on Apocalypse -- 4. Tao Qian on His Deathbed -- 5. Xie Lingyun on Awakening -- 6. Composed on the Verge of Unnatural Death -- 7. Epilogue: The Fisherman in Reclusion -- Works Cited -- Index. This book focuses on the representation of human mortality in early medieval Chinese literature. This theme is observed and reconstructed through the contextual and intertextual analysis of the work of eminent writers of the period, texts that have never been examined from an eschatological perspective. Through this perspective, and the careful use of research from the fields of religion and anthropology, the book offers a fresh view of commentator Wang Yi (fl. 89–158), well-known poets Ruan Ji (210–63), Tao Qian (365?–427), and Xie Lingyun (385–433), and also brings into the discussion relevant works by several previously neglected authors. The book contributes a new angle from which to appreciate literature of this and other periods in Chinese history

    "Despite all of their extravagant mortuary forms-chantry chapels, mortuary rolls, the daily observance of the Office of the Dead, Purgatory itself-people in medieval England were unable to talk about death. That is, their inability was not exactly religious, but more philosophical: strictly speaking, saying Caesar "is" dead is nonsense, since he no longer "is." This example may seem like a purely academic problem, but it shook the confidence of systems of meaning, reference, and knowledge for more than a thousand years. In "Arts of Dying," D. Vance Smith argues that literature fills the impossible space between two convictions: the faith that language reaches the dead; and the logic that denies that language ever could. As Smith puts it, literature can talk "about" something that is not-strictly speaking-logically possible, and the literature of death, he argues, is neither a prayer nor a proposition, but rather the dream of a possible impossibility. Indeed, the literature of "death" is really the literature of "dying": there is no "debate" between Body and Soul after death; there are only the crucial decisions one can make now, the works we leave behind, before the long process of dying reaches its end. Surveying the philosophical problem of dying in literature in English, Smith identifies three crucial "moments" over the course of 600 years. In the first moment (900- 1300), he compares the principal Body and Soul poems from the period; in the second moment (the fourteenth century), he identifies the emergent metaphor of the crypt, the place or monument of death; and, finally, in the fifteenth century (in the years after Chaucer), he finds the dominant metaphor of dying to be the archive, where the literature of dying is a search for adequate terms and styles or forms that might survive death. The book contributes to medieval and literary studies, and, secondarily, to the adjacent areas of phenomenology and continental philosophy"--

    "In Mourning the Nation to Come, Jillian J. Sayre offers a comparative study of early national literature and culture in the United States, Brazil, and Spanish America that theorizes New World nationalism as grounded in cultures of the dead and commemorative acts of mourning. Sayre argues that popular historical romances unified communities of creole readers by giving them lost love objects they could mourn together, allowing citizens of newly formed nations to feel as one"--

    "The Celebration of Death in Contemporary Culture investigates the emergence and meaning of the cult of death. Over the last three decades, Halloween has grown to rival Christmas in its popularity and profitability; dark tourism has emerged as a rapidly expanding industry; and funerals have become less traditional. "Corpse chic" and "skull style" have entered mainstream fashion, while elements of gothic, horror, torture porn, and slasher movies have streamed into more conventional genres. Monsters have become pop culture heroes: vampires, zombies, and serial killers now appeal broadly to audiences of all ages. This book considers, for the first time, these phenomena as aspects of a single movement, documenting its development in contemporary Western culture. Previous considerations of our fixation on death have not developed a convincing theory linking the mounting demand for images of violent death and the dramatic changes in death-related social rituals and practices. This book offers a conceptual framework that connects the observations of the simulated world of fiction and movies--including The Twilight Saga, The Vampire Diaries, Night Watch, Hannibal, and the Harry Potter series--to social and cultural practices, providing an analysis of the specific aesthetics and the intellectual and historical conditions that triggered the cult of death. It also considers the celebration of death in the context of a longstanding critique of humanism and investigates the role played by 20th-century French theory, as well as by posthumanism, transhumanism, and the animal rights movement, in the formation of the current antihumanist atmosphere. With its critique of movie and book blockbusters and the death-related social rituals, festivals, and fashions that have coalesced into the cult of death, this timely volume will appeal to anyone hoping to better understand a defining phenomenon of our age. Scholars and general readers of cultural studies, film and literary studies, anthropology, and American and Russian studies will find this book thought-provoking"--
