| The
Doreen B. Townsend Center for the Humanities at the University of California,
Berkeley hosted this highly successful two-day institute June 1-2, 2000.
Clinicians joined artists and humanists in an interdisciplinary discussion
of what it means to die in America in the twenty-first century.
The Institute aimed to faciliate active involvement on the part of all attendees and, as far as possible, to achieve an even distribution of participation across the fields of medicine (clinicians and other health care providers including students, residents, nursing professionals, research fellows etc), the arts, and the humanities. |

"Just
in case you thought there was no distinction between representation and
reality there is death. Just in case you thought experience and the representation
of experience melted into one another, death provides a structural principle
separating the two. . . . See the difference." |
