On the contingency of death: A discourse-theoretical perspective on the construction of death
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
Death is frequently seen as the ultimate manifestation of materiality. Without denying this materiality, this article will investigate the discursive character of death, and its contingent nature, through the lens of Laclau and Mouffe's (1985) discoursetheory.

The contingency of death is argued further from a more genealogical stance, through the changes over time in the articulation of death and good death. Finally, the political nature of the discourse of death isillustrated by an analysis of end-of-life debates and the struggle between the hospice and the right to die social movements over the exact articulation of a good death. The article concludes by pointing to the necessary and constitutive
