This volume provides a series of illuminating perspectives on the timings of death through in-depth studies of Shakespearean tragedy criminal execution embalming practices fears of premature burial rumours of Adolf Hitler¿s survival and the legal concept of brain death. In doing so it explores a number of questions including: how do we know if someone is dead or not? What do people experience at the moment when they die? Is death simply a biological event that comes about in temporal stages of decomposition or is it a social event defined through cultures practices and commemorations? In other words when exactly is death? Taken together these contributions explore how death emerges in a series of stages that are uncertain paradoxical and socially contested.
