Abstrakt: The book review titled "Death's Social and Material Meaning Beyond the Human" explores the intersection of law, queer theory, and death studies in response to global crises. The collection challenges normative paradigms, particularly human exceptionalism, by examining the necropolitical dimensions of non-human death. Through various chapters, the book delves into the ethical complexities of microbial remediation, seal rehabilitation, and the legal status of the human corpse, ultimately questioning the dichotomies of person/thing and alive/dead. The volume aims to expand the discourse on death studies by considering new forms of deathly concern and advocating for a more inclusive and critical approach to legal subjectivity.
