  Death under our very eyes Figures of death at the turn of the xxi th century

  Whatever its aspects, be it slow, brutal, random, sensational, barbarous, burlesque, scandalous, painful, or even celebrated, death lies at the heart of life.Yet the singular violence with which it imposed its presence throughout the 20th century, together with the frenzied and twisted character it has come to assume in the firstdecade of the 21st century,  invite us to reassess death, , non longer whatHeidegger called “the place of the irreplaceable uniqueness of the person”. Le Laboratoire CECILLE (Centre d’Études en Civilisations, Langues et Lettres Étrangères /CECILLE, EA 4074) de l’Université des Sciences Humaine et Sociales -Lille3 propose donc, et depuis une perspective interdisciplinaire, de mener une lecture sur « La mort sous les yeux ?
