They focus essentially on the 'management' of death, an anthropocentric practice prioritising the human life above every other type of existence.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePatricia 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDeath Activism\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46643220676766,"sku":"UBD-9781350376182","price":39.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781350376182.jpg?v=1774484486","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781350376182","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
