DEATH IS SERVED - STELLA CASTELLI KARTONIERT (TB)

The American cultural imaginary is hungry for death  and thus representations of death are
prominently repeated and serialized in US literature and media. Stella Castelli shows how
American culture fetishizes death as part of a repetition compulsion which stems from the
inability of language to satisfactorily grasp death. Taking an intermedial approach  she
investigates the forms and tropes born from this preoccupation with death and conceptualizes
its imagination alongside an appetite which manifests as repetitive encoding. These metaphors
of food consumption provide a hermeneutic framing for analyzing representations of death across
American literature and media.
