书目名称 | The Changing Face of Death | 副标题 | Historical Accounts | 编辑 | Peter C. Jupp,Glennys Howarth | 视频video | | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | The taboo on death is at last breaking down. There is far greater receptivity to informed discussion about death and dying. Dying with dignity is one major issue: euthanasia and the ‘natural death movement‘ are the latest stages in a debate first stimulated by the hospice movement. Media treatment of the bereaved, especially after disasters, has attracted some adverse criticism, yet after the decline of traditional customs of mourning, people seek new models of acceptable behaviour at a time of death. The book argues that attitudes to death and to disposal are culturally formed and examines the factors in the formation and decline of such attitudes by analysing specific issues over four centuries of death. | 出版日期 | Book 1997 | 关键词 | euthanasia; media; seventeenth century; Tradition | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-349-25300-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-25302-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-349-25300-5 | copyright | Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited 1997 |
