What role does capital punishment play in defining our political and cultural identity?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter centuries during which capital punishment was a normal and self-evident part of criminal punishment, it has now taken on a life of its own in various arenas far beyond the limits of the penal sphere.  In this volume, the authors argue that in order to understand the death penalty, we need to know more about the \"cultural lives\"—past and present—of the state’s ultimate sanction. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey undertake this “cultural voyage” comparatively—examining the dynamics of the death penalty in Mexico, the United States, Poland, Kyrgyzstan, India, Israel, Palestine, Japan, China, Singapore, and South Korea—arguing that we need to look beyond the United States to see how capital punishment “lives” or “dies” in the rest of the world, how images of state killing are produced and consumed elsewhere, and how they are reflected, back and forth, in the emerging international judicial and political discourse on the penalty of death and its abolition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContributors: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSangmin Bae \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristian Boulanger \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJulia Eckert \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgata Fijalkowski \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvi Girling\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVirgil K.Y.
