Death as Comedy. 330 $aThe Art of Dying: 21st Century Depictions of Death and Dying examines how contemporary media platforms are used to produce creative accounts, responses and reflections on the course of dying, death and grief. Outside the public performance of grief at funerals, grief can strike in anticipation of a loss, or it can endure, continuing to interject itself and interrupt a permanently changed life. This book examines the particular affordances possessed by various contemporary creative forms and platforms that capture and illuminate different aspects of the phenomenology of dying and grief. It explores the subversive and unguarded nature of stand-up comedy, the temporal and spatial inventiveness of graphic novels, the creative constructions of documentary filmmaking, the narrative voice of young adult literature, the realism of documentary theatre, alongside more ubiquitous media such as social media, television and games. This book is testament to the power of creative expression to elicit vicarious grief and sharpen our awareness of death. Gareth Schott is Professor of Screen and Media Studies at the University of Waikato, New Zealand. He is a media psychologist with broad interests in both the psychological impact of media but also the role of creative media in exploring human psychology and producing psychological knowledge. . 606 $aCulture$xStudy and teaching 606 $aPopular culture 606 $aDigital media 606 $aGames 606 $aComedy 606 $aMotion pictures 606 $aTelevision broadcasting 606 $aVisual Culture 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aDigital and New Media 606 $aGames Studies 606 $aComedy Studies 606 $aFilm and Television Studies 615 0$aCulture$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aPopular culture. 615 0$aDigital media. 615 0$aGames. 615 0$aComedy. 615 0$aMotion pictures. 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting. 615 14$aVisual Culture. 615 24$aPopular Culture. 615 24$aDigital and New Media. 615 24$aGames Studies. 615 24$aComedy Studies. 615 24$aFilm and Television Studies. 676 $a306.9 676 $a306.9 700 $aSchott$b Gareth Richard$01381711 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910736982103321 996 $aThe Art of Dying$93424564 997 $aUNINA
