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. These metaphors of food consumption provide a hermeneutic framing for analysing representations of death across American literature and media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeath is Served\u003c\/i\u003e explores these themes with depth and insight, inviting readers to rethink the ways in which death is portrayed and consumed in cultural contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470391656684,"sku":"9783837665697","price":94.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783837665697-death-is-served.jpg?v=1775218151","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/death-is-served-by-stella-castelli-9783837665697","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
