Beatrice Marovich argues that such understandings of mortality have been deeply influenced by a strain of Christian political theology that has left its mark on both religious and secular narratives. Adapting the figure of \"Sister Death\" from Saint Francis of Assisi, she calls for recognizing that life and death are family. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on a wide range of sources--from Toni Morrison to Jacques Derrida, psychoanalysis to grassroots \"death positive\" movements--Marovich critiques a racialized political theology that pits life and death against each other in a state of endless war. In a time of extinctions, it is necessary to disrupt this dominant story in order to apprehend death as a collective, multispecies event. \u003ci\u003eSister Death\u003c\/i\u003e proposes an alternative view in which life and death are not mortal enemies destined for mutual destruction. Instead, they are engaged in a contested, tense, and sometimes mutually empowering form of connection--a sisterhood. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEloquent and approachable, this book deftly integrates the insights of a number of disciplines to provide a profound reconsideration of the relations between life and death. \u003ci\u003eSister Death\u003c\/i\u003e also features a series of original works by the artist Krista Dragomer that stage an ongoing conceptual conversation with the text.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.4 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 07, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42651008532576,"sku":"9780231208376","price":76.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/QkJWQVByZDhPbksvUE1jNXovUFE5dz09.webp?v=1773805847","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/sister-death-political-theologies-for-living-and-dying-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
