Hers is, fundamentally, an anti-death book. Wait, don\u0026rsquo;t stop reading \u0026mdash; it\u0026rsquo;s not a live-forever diet, yoga, or genetic engineering manifesto. Rather, it\u0026rsquo;s an attempt to help us save ourselves from a new cultural cult of death. Khapaeva warns that our culture in general, and young people in particular, are succumbing to the temptation to dwell with death rather than in life.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor the full article, visit the \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/lareviewofbooks.org\/article\/nightmare-consumption-on-dina-khapaevas-the-celebration-of-death-in-contemporary-culture\/#!\u0022\u003E\u003Cem\u003ELos Angeles Review of Books\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E website.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"34554","created_gmt":"2017-11-01 14:12:51","changed_gmt":"2017-11-01 14:27:00","author":"ralu3","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","publication":"Station F","field_article_url":"","publication_url":"https:\/\/lareviewofbooks.org\/article\/nightmare-consumption-on-dina-khapaevas-the-celebration-of-death-in-contemporary-culture\/#!","dateline":{"date":"2017-10-31T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2017-10-31T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"441101":{"id":"441101","type":"image","title":"Dina Khapaeva","body":null,"created":"1449256190","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 19:09:50","changed":"1539024312","gmt_changed":"2018-10-08 18:45:12","alt":"Portrait of Dr. Dina Khapaeva","file":{"fid":"203074","name":"dinakhapaevaweb.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/dinakhapaevaweb_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/dinakhapaevaweb_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":34304,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/dinakhapaevaweb_0.jpg?itok=u_scjRVf"}}},"media_ids":["441101"],"groups":[{"id":"1281","name":"Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts"},{"id":"1284","name":"School of Modern Languages"}],"categories":[{"id":"129","name":"Institute and Campus"}],"keywords":[{"id":"13494","name":"Los Angeles"},{"id":"6063","name":"diet"},{"id":"61521","name":"yoga"},{"id":"3031","name":"genetic"},{"id":"2455","name":"Death"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
