Abstract

This special issue brings together six ethnographic contributions examining end-of-life care across clinical, visual and methodological registers. Drawing on fieldwork in Britain, France, South Africa, Brazil, Indonesia and India, the articles explore how institutional frameworks – medical, bureaucratic and ethical – encounter the irreducible particularity of dying. The collection emerges from a workshop on Ethnographies of Endings held at Durham University in 2024.
