Despite technological advances that allow for the easy creation and distribution of death footage, digital media often fail to live up to their promise to reveal the world in greater fidelity. Malkowski analyzes a wide range of death footage, from feature films about the terminally ill (Dying, Silverlake Life, Sick), to surreptitiously recorded suicides (The Bridge), to #BlackLivesMatter YouTube videos and their precursors. Contextualizing these recordings in the long history of attempts to capture the moment of death in American culture, Malkowski shows how digital media are unable to deliver death "in full detail," as its metaphysical truth remains beyond representation.Performing Arts / Film / History & CriticismbisacshPerforming artsPerforming Arts / Film / History & CriticismPerforming arts.Malkowski Jennifer1781073ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910831865703321Dying in Full Detail4305786UNINA
