It provides models for a number of interrelated approaches--including psychoanalytic, feminist, and historical--with essays by prominent and promising scholars. All the contirbutions combine theory with textual readings, whether of literature, paintings, historical sources, or--in one case--a passage from Freud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays in \u003ci\u003eDeath and Representation\u003c\/i\u003e trace the multifarious ways in which death in both unknowable and repeatably constructed. In so doing, the colection shows how thematics--as an issue in scholarly research--can servce as a platform for interdisciplinary discussions. Essays are organized in three sections: \"REading Death: Sign, Psyche, Text\"; \"Death and Gender\"; and \"History, Power, Ideology.\" Contributors are Ernst van Alphen, Mieke Bal, Regina Barreca, Elisabeth Bronfen, Carol Christ, Sander Gilman, Sarah Webster Goodwin, Margaret Higonnet, Regina Janes, Ellie Ragland-Sullivan, Rajeswari Sunder Rajan, Ronald Schleifer, Charles Segal, and Garrett Stewart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Webster Goodwin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801846277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801846274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.15w x 0.79d","brand":"Sarah Webster Goodwin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965153689855,"sku":"9780801846274","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_62ac1124-fe14-4976-8f27-82cb8ef3dfc4.jpg?v=1767278837","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/death-and-representation-sarah-webster-goodwin-9780801846274","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
