Frontière·s 6. La mort et ses frontières

In Antiquity and the Middle Ages, biological death and social death, as well as the way in which the living consider their relationship to the dead (to dead bodies on the one hand and to the dead as beings of memory on the other), or the inscription of the dead in a space, more or less separate from that of the living, are all phenomena which bring into play the notion of border in a plural manner. It is from this observation that the proposal for this thematic issue was born, devoted to "death and its borders", which we wish to question here. In this sixth issue, the authors approach the question of the borders of death from various angles: the question of the separation between burial places and living places, as well as between funerary spaces, the cultural distinction made by the configuration of tombs or the nature of their furniture, but also the question of the crossing of the border between life and death.
