Médecins et cadavres
Histoire et anthropologie de la mort
Published on Tuesday, March 01, 2022
Abstract
Contemporary transformations in the treatment of the ordinary dead (cemetery management, the rise of cremation or thanatopraxy) and the problems raised by recent mortality crises (migrants, heat waves, epidemics, war, etc.) have prompted a multidisciplinary and international reflection on the mortuary, bringing together anthropologists, archaeologists, historians, art historians, physicians, philosophers, psychologists and sociologists. The March 17, 2022 event will focus on the theme of Physicians and Corpses.

Presentation
With the support of the Mission Interdisciplinarité Aix-Marseille Université, the ADES-TELEMMe inter-laboratory seminar on the History and Anthropology of Death will continue this year.
Contemporary transformations in the treatment of the ordinary dead (cemetery management, the rise of cremation or thanatopraxy) and the problems raised by recent mortality crises (migrants, heat waves, epidemics, war, etc.) have prompted a multidisciplinary and international reflection on the mortuary, bringing together anthropologists, archaeologists, historians, art historians, physicians, philosophers, psychologists and sociologists. Although there are many scattered and more or less institutionalized efforts (research notebooks, short funded programs, institutional arrangements), there is still no scientific and research space in France specifically devoted to death. This research seminar aims to fill this gap by engaging in a truly interdisciplinary reflection on the death fact, its modalities, its evolutions, and its stakes.
Three days have already taken place: Dangerous corpses (March 17, 2021), Unwanted corpses (May 6, 2021), Anonymous corpses (December 3, 2021).
