Tanatyczny tryptyk ponowoczesności: kryzys, pornografia i renesans śmierci
Thanatotic triptych in post-modernity: crisis, pornography, renaissance of death

Summary/Abstract: In every epoch we can notice different attitude towards end of life, which reflects in varied attitude towards death and its representations. The background for my consideration is postmodernity. In this period there is no one representation of death, because contemporary people’s attitude towards topics associated with passing and their images are diversified. In the article I will try to analyse the representations of death shown trough three phenomena-crisis, pornography and renaissance of death, in which light the Thanatotic post-modern triptych can be constructed.
