Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Portrayals of death and the dead are everywhere within popular culture revealing much about contemporary society?s engagement with mortality. Drawing upon celebrity posthumous careers, organ transplantation mythology and the fictional dead, this book considers how representations of the dead in popular culture exert powerful agency.
MoreLong description:
Within popular culture, death is not the end, but instead a space where the dead can exert agency whilst entertaining the consumer. Popular culture enables the dead to be consumed by the living on a mass global scale, actively engaging them with issues of mortality.
Arguing that the dead in popular culture have agency, this cross-disciplinary study delves into the dead in popular media, looking at fictional characters and nonfictional dead celebrities. Some subjects addressed are organ transplantation, zombies and vampires, and the posthumous careers of celebrities such as Robin Williams, Elizabeth Taylor, and Marilyn Monroe. More
