    PLEASE FORWARD

    We are soliciting critical papers to be included in a collection on death
    and the corpse. Essays should investigate events or cultural phenomena
    that focus on the actual display of corpses in public, for example the
    German exhibit "Koerperwelten". Of particular interest are works
    investigating and problematizing the spectacular aspects of such events.

    Topics may include but are not limited to:
    o corpses and freak shows
    o the real corpse as art, art and the corpse
    o the aesthetics of death
    o the corpse as public phenomenon
    o anatomy and the public, public anatomy
    o ethical questions

    Please send abstracts (2 pages) by 09/30/2000 to:
