Bruce,
Thank you for sharing this!
I’d be very interested to read your thesis project, and the two papers at the Design & Emotion conferences. Could you send them to me?
Best regards,
Helena

I began my work in the area with a thesis project completed in Canada in 1997 (Death: Artefact and Process in the Last Rite of Passage), followed by two later papers presented at Design & Emotion Conferences (2004, Death and Catharsis: Redefining Pleasure by Design; and 2006, Digital Death: Tradition and Technology in Design for Human Experience). Happy to share any of these to anyone interested.
