    Front Matter -- Contents -- Preface -- Introduction -- Memento Mori in Art and Literature -- Charles and Ray Eames’s Powers of Ten as Memento Mori -- Memento Mori as “Consciousness of Mortality” and as a Cultural Phenomenon -- Ethical Memento Mori: Wim Wenders’s Notebook on Cities and Clothes -- Documentaries as Contemporary Memento Mori -- Quintessential Memento Mori Experience: Derek Jarman’s Blue -- Personal Memento Mori: The Iconic 9/11 Footage and the Threat of Death -- Conclusion and Future Prospects. Memento mori is a broad and understudied cultural phenomenon and experience. The term “memento mori” is a Latin injunction that means “remember mortality,” or more directly, “remember that you must die.” In art and cultural history, memento mori appears widely, especially in medieval folk culture and in the well-known Dutch still life vanitas paintings of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Yet memento mori extends well beyond these points in art and cultural history. In Death in Documentaries: The Memento Mori Experience , Benjamin Bennett-Carpenter suggests that documentaries are an especially apt form of contemporary memento mori . Bennett-Carpenter shows that documentaries may offer composed transformative experiences in which a viewer may renew one’s consciousness of mortality – and thus renew one’s life

She ends with a heartrending prayer in the voice of her mother Edwidge Danticat's The Art of Death: Writing the Final Story is at once a personal account of her mother dying from cancer and a deeply considered reckoning with the ways that other writers have approached death in their own work. "Writing has been the primary way I have tried to make sense of my losses," Danticat notes in her introduction. "I have been writing about death for as long as I have been writing." The book moves outward from the shock of her mother's diagnosis and sifts through Danticat's writing life and personal history, all the while shifting fluidly from examples that range from Gabriel García Márquez's one Hundred Years of Solitude to Toni Morrison's Sula. The narrative, which continually circles the many incarnations of death from individual to large-scale catastrophes, culminates in a beautiful, heartrending prayer in the voice of Danticat's mother. A moving tribute and a work of astute criticism, The Art of Death is a book that will profoundly alter all who encounter it -- Provided by publisher Introduction : Writing life -- Living dyingly -- Ars moriendi -- Dying together -- Wanting to die -- Condemned to die -- Close calls -- Circles and circles of sorrow -- Feetfirst
