Stella Castelli shows how American culture fetishises death as part of a repetition compulsion which stems from the inability of language to satisfactorily grasp death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTaking an intermedial approach, she investigates the forms and tropes born from this preoccupation with death and conceptualises its imagination alongside an appetite which manifests as repetitive encoding.
