Hi Mark,
Have you seen Julia Lawton's book 'The dying process. Patients' experiences
of palliative care'? Social anthropology rather than sociology but has some
very interesting things to say about embodiment and the 'unbounded body' of
the dying person.
Also Robert Murphy's 'The body silent' - an account of disability by a
person with a malignant spinal cord tumour.
Best wishes,
Gail

Subject: Disability studies and the sociology of death and dying
Apologies for those who may be experiencing a sense of deja vu! I posted
this last year but having deferred for a year and also losing the contents
of my mail box I'm having repeat the posting! So, here we go again...
I am a final year sociology student and for my dissertation am looking to
marry disability studies with the sociology of death & dying (or atleast
introduce the sociology of death & dying to disability studies as I seem to
be having difficulty in finding any suitable literature). While there is
plenty of information and literature on associated topics such as assisted
suicide/euthanasia, eugenics etc., I have found there to be very
little 'social theory' around the topic of death, dying and disabled
people. I was hoping to see if anyone had any ideas or references that may
be of use.
Many thanks (and apologies for all those who replied last year),
Mark Davies
