- Description
- Analysis of representations of women as linked to death, produced by women writers and artists. Religious rituals, literature, film and war journalism are analysed. A central question is whether female writers and artists have rejected the dominant discourses of sexual fascination around women and death and produced different representations. Attention is paid to the cultural change in the 18th century, whereby death became more pronouncedly gendered than in the early modern period. This was in keeping with the new emphasis on sexual dichotomy in medicine, anthropology and philosophy.
