- This monograph is the first extensive study of death and dying in mainstream Western cinema. The breadth and depth of the research is evident in the investigation of multiple genres and historical contexts, the latter spanning early to contemporary film. The theme of death and dying is explored through detailed attention to the construction of social, sexual and racial politics, and the book offers an overarching critique of Western cinema’s constructions of gendered and racialized mortal economies. It won the Kraszna Krausz Best Moving Image award in 2015.
