Stella Castelli shows how American culture fetishizes death as part of a repetition compulsion which stems from language's inability to satisfactorily grasp death. Taking an intermedial approach, she investigates the forms and tropes born from this preoccupation with death and conceptualizes its imagination alongside an appetite which manifests as repetitive encoding. These metaphors of food consumption provide a hermeneutic framing for analyzing representations of death across American literature and media. 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular Culture$2bisacsh 610 $aAmerica. 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aFilm. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aMedia. 610 $aPopular Culture. 610 $aTelevision. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular Culture. 700 $aCastelli$b Stella, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01350508 712 02$aSwiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996517757403316 996 $aDeath is Served$93088656 997 $aUNISA
