Description

This book examines the dialectic between fictional death as depicted in the media and real death as it is experienced in a hospital setting.

Using a Terror Management theoretical lens, Davis and Crane explore the intersections of life and death, experience and fiction, to understand the relationship between them.

The authors use complementary perspectives to examine what it means when we speak and think of death as it is conceived in cultural media and as it is constructed by and circulates between patients, health professionals, and supportive family members and friends. Layering analysis with evocative narrative and an intimate tone, with characters, plot, and action that reflect the voices and experiences of all project participants, including the authors’ own, Davis and Crane reflect on what it means to pass away.

Their medical humanities approach bridges health communication, cultural studies, and the arts to inform medical ethics and care.
