Alhena Gadotti: Living and Dying in
Mesopotamia

Living and Dying in Mesopotamia

How To Make It To The End With No Regrets

You Only Die Once

Posthumanism in Practice

Traditional Western attitudes towards death deal with it as a painful inevitability, something that has to be navigated as a trauma and a taboo. They focus essentially on the 'management' of death, an anthropocentric practice prioritising the human life above every other type of existence. Patricia MacCormack explores how we can develop a 'death activism' - a variety of tactics and posthuman practices which celebrate death, its inevitability, its forms, from the slow to times of crisis, and how trauma and mourning emerge as their own forms of expression. Crucial to the foundation of death activism is the dissymmetry with which different deaths are met including the mass death of nonhuman animals and ecologies. Death Activism is a feminist, queer, postcolonialist enquiry, that seeks to queer death - making queer our usual familiar death habits and trajectories of thought, toward a jubilant activism that can transform death into a more democratically equal, and a more jubilant force for life.

Queer Death Studies and the Posthuman

Death Activism

'Part of me knew what the hungry ghosts wanted all along, what they still want. It is not vengeance. No, they want something else, but we refuse to listen. They want us to face up to our broken obligations.'Every spring during the Qingming Festival, people return to their home villages in China to sweep the tombs of their ancestors, making offerings of food and incense to prevent them from becoming hungry ghosts that could cause misfortune. Yet for the past century, a time ruptured by war and revolution, many tombs have been left unattended. Following a record year of wildfires, Alice Mah returns to her family's rice village in South China, and discovers that her ancestors are almost forgotten, and there are no tombs left to sweep. Instead, there are incalculable clan debts to be paid. Here Mah chronicles her journey from the rice villages of South China to her home in post-industrial England, through the Chinatowns of Western Canada where she grew up, to the isles and industry of Scotland where she now lives. As years pass and fires rage on, she becomes increasingly troubled by her ancestors' neglected graves. Her research on pollution gives way to growing eco-anxiety, culminating in a crisis of spiritual belief. A haunting blend of memoir, cultural history and environmental exploration, Red Pockets confronts the hungry ghosts of our neglected ancestors, while searching for an acceptable offering. What do we owe to past and future generations? What do we owe to the places that we inhabit?

Considering the potential and perils of Domestic Abuse-Related Death Reviews (DARDRs) in England and Wales as a way of learning from domestic abuse-related deaths, this book examines what DARDRs - first known as Domestic Homicide Reviews (DHRs) - are understood as being for, what is used by and in DARDRs, and how DARDRs are themselves used.

'Evocative' Sarah Perry'Immersive' Katherine May'Profoundly moving' Mark HaddonDiscover Catherine Coldstream's compelling account of life as a nun in the 1990s, and the dramatic events which led to her flight from the monastery. After the shock of her father's death, and with the rest of her family scattered, Catherine was left grieving and alone at twenty-four. A search for meaning led her to the nuns of Akenside Priory. Here she found a tight-knit community of dedicated women and peace in an ancient way of life. But as she surrenders to her final vows, all is not as it seems behind the Priory's closed doors. Catherine comes to realise that divine authority is mediated through flawed and all-too-human channels. She is faced with a dilemma: should she protect the serenity she has found, or speak out?'Gripping... A rich memoir' Daily Telegraph'Absorbing and beautifully written' Financial Times

My Years as a Nun

Cloistered

Making friends with death is the ultimate liberationContemplating death is scary. Most of us prefer not to dwell on the fact that our time here is limited-it's more comforting to imagine we'll all live forever. And yet, death is an integral part of life. Rather than shield you from your mortality, this guided journal gives you the space and tools to explore your own relationship with it. My Death Diary takes you gently by the hand and guides you down a path toward examining your own mortality.Doing this work isn't easy; it requires a great deal of courage and commitment. But it is so worth it. Because nothing brings you more immediately into the present than the realization that life is finite.So what if you used this time-right now-to no longer simply ignore or fear death but to equip yourself for it?My Death Diary will help you embrace the idea that, eventually, this all will end-so you can prioritize what truly matters.
