After the death of an idol. From thanatic space to media necrography

From thanatic space to media necrography

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to characterize selected issues related to the tourist travels of rockand metal fans to deathspaces. In addition to outlining specific areas of rock thanatourism, thetext discusses some aspects of the media components of necrography. The symbolic elements ofa metal idol’s “posthumous existence” are explored using the example of musician Ian “Lemmy”Kilmister, who passed away in 2015. The study is a preliminary recognition of the complexphenomena that are part of this area, still not thoroughly examined in domestic popular musicstudies; it focuses on the problematic thanatoanthropology of metal music culture.
