(Author)Description:The Coming Death Explores The Question Of Death And Mortality In Several Key Texts Of East Asian Literature And Cinema By Exposing The Specific Fields Of Japanology And Sinology To The More General Discourse Of Thanatology, Richard Calichman Aims To Define Death More Expansively On The Basis Of Loss And Disappearance Typically, Death Is Understood To Be Purely Separate From Life: Where Death Is, Life Is Not; And Where Life Is, Death Is Not Yet This View Fails To Account Not Only For The Frequency With Which Living Individuals Encounter The Death Of Others, But Also--And Far More Radically--For The Disturbing Fact That Life In Its Unfolding Remains At Each Moment Open To The Possibility Of Its Own Destruction In This Regard, Calichman Argues, Death Must Be Conceived Not Simply As An Actual Event, But Even More Fundamentally As A General Possibility Without Which Life Itself Could Not Develop At Issue Is How Death Reveals The Emptiness Of All Identity, Which Demands That Life And Death No Longer Be Conceived As Purely Oppositional If Mortal Death Can Appear At The Very Origin Of Life, Then The Fullness Or Presence Of Life Is At Each Instant Threatened By The Possibility Of Its Negation Through A Reading Of The Works Of Such Major Artistic And Intellectual Figures As Kurosawa Akira, Tsai Ming-Liang, Lu Xun, And Takeuchi Yoshimi, The Coming Death Argues For A Fundamental Rethinking Of Mortality Binding:Hardcover, HardcoverPublisher:State University of New York PressPublication Date:2022-02-01Weight:0.5 lbsDimensions:1'' H x 9'' L x 6'' WNumber of Pages:176Language:English
