Reviews

A solid and necessary volume that opens up new perspectives in the field of Iberian studies by focusing on a central issue for a society, such as death and its cultures, regarding contemporary Spain. The subject is presented in a complex, collective, and panoramic way, focused on its political, social, philosophical, and cultural dimensions. --German Labrador Mendez, author of Libidinal Economy in the Spanish Transition to Democracy The essays in this volume move swiftly and deftly across different aspects of culture--fiction and film, but also exhumations, funerals, processions, and inorganic objects. In ways that are at once surprising and innovative, this volume investigates some of the flash points of contemporary Spain. --Becquer Seguin, Johns Hopkins University, and writer for The Nation, Slate, Dissent, The Awl, and Public Books
