This Handbook aims to provide a comprehensive, international
cartography of Queer Death Studies, offering broad, in-depth insights
into the field and its emergence through tentacular transdisciplinary
networking. Taking research and art-making on death, dying, mourning,
and afterlife into new directions, it explores the multiple effects of
contemporary necropolitics and the proliferation of death-worlds
during the current period of Earth’s history, ‘The Anthropocene’
or ‘the Age of Man’. Informed by queer, critical posthumanist,
decolonial, and feminist approaches, the Handbook presents a unique
variety of both critical and affirmative reflections upon the
world’s intersecting necropowers, and ethico-political potentials
for social and environmental change. Contributors speculate on ways to
reimagine life/ death-relations as vibrant entanglements. They also
investigate modes of mourning differently, resisting necropolitical
regimes that deem human and non-human individuals and populations to
be disposable and non-grievable when they differ too much from the
normative modern subject, Universal Man, in terms of intersections of
gender, racialisation, class, sexuality, embodiment, embrainment,
geopolitical positioning, or species. A thought provoking read, this
Handbook is intended for broad global audiences of researchers,
artists, teachers, students, death-professionals, (health)careworkers,
activists, and NGOs interested in tools to rethink and reimagine
death, dying, mourning, and afterlife from intersections of queering,
decolonising, posthumanising, and feminist perspectives.
