« Penser ma mort c’est aussi bien penser moi sans le monde que le monde sans moi, c’est penser à la rupture d’un rapport. Où l’angoisse commence c’est quand, au sentiment du monde comme réalité empirique, nous substituons une présence du monde en nous, qui serait le temps... Je n’étais pas plus satisfait du monde mais du moins je me sentais en sécurité dans un monde qui ne me satisfaisait pas. Ce sont ces deux conditions qui ont pu faire place en moi à l’angoisse de la mort : celle de disparaître non au monde (empiriquement) mais celle de disparaître au sens absolu... ». Par toutes sortes de détours ce texte ramène à un centre, la distinction entre la peur de mourir qui concerne le texte de la vie, et l’angoisse devant la mort, qui elle ne concerne « rien ». L’auteur, à qui le genre même du Journal permet de se contredire et dans ces contradictions mêmes de retrouver toujours les mêmes évidences, s’appuie sur trois refuges, la réflexion bouddhique (et indienne), celle d’Epicure, la pensée christique (le « il faut qu’il vive »). Des analyses particulières s’entremêlent, celle du suicide (« le suicide s’explique parce que l’angoisse de la mort ne peut contrebalancer le dégoût de la vie, sans quoi il n’y aurait pas de suicide »), la peine de mort, le couple... Aux trois points d’appui qui reviennent explicitement — érotisme, travail, art — le quatrième que l’auteur ne nomme pas, l’ami mort, est peut-être le plus présent. Le livre s’achève par un bref rappel de réflexions sur la mort, depuis la philosophie antique et celle de la Renaissance (Montaigne), puis Descartes, Pascal, Schopenhauer, des modernes enfin, de Bergson, Simmel, Heidegger à Jean-Paul Sartre et Paul Ricoeur ; enfin quatre littérateurs, Alain, Paul Valéry, Paul Léautaud et André Malraux.

With high mortality rates, it has been assumed that the poor in Victorian and Edwardian Britain did not mourn their dead. Contesting this approach, Julie-Marie Strange studies the expression of grief among the working class, demonstrating that poverty increased - rather than deadened - it. She illustrates the mourning practices of the working classes through chapters addressing care of the corpse, the funeral, the cemetery, commemoration, and high infant mortality rates. The 2005 book draws on a broad range of sources to analyse the feelings and behaviours of the labouring poor, using not only personal testimony but also fiction, journalism, and official reports. It concludes that poor people did not only use spoken or written words to express their grief, but also complex symbols, actions and, significantly, silence. This book will be an invaluable contribution to an important and neglected area of social and cultural history.

Medieval literature contains many figures caught at the interface between life and death - the dead return to place demands on the living, while the living foresee, organize or desire their own deaths. Jane Gilbert's original study examines the ways in which certain medieval literary texts, both English and French, use these 'living dead' to think about existential, ethical and political issues. In doing so, she shows powerful connections between works otherwise seen as quite disparate, including Chaucer's Book of the Duchess and Legend of Good Women, the Chanson de Roland and the poems of Francois Villon. Written for researchers and advanced students of medieval French and English literature, this book provides original, provocative interpretations of canonical medieval texts in the light of influential modern theories, especially Lacanian psychoanalysis, presented in an accessible and lively way.

The founding of the Roman Principate was a time of great turmoil. This book brings together a set of important Latin inscriptions, including the recently discovered documents concerning the death of Germanicus and trial of Cn. Piso, in order to illustrate the developing sense of dynasty that underpinned the new monarchy of Augustus. Each inscription is supplied with its original text, a new English translation, and a full introduction and historical commentary that will be useful to students and scholars alike. The book also provides important technical help in understanding the production and interpretation of documents and inscriptions, thereby making it an excellent starting point for introducing students to Roman epigraphy.

Utilisant des sources variées (écrites, iconographiques ou archéologiques), l'ouvrage étudie, à travers l'exemple du domaine funéraire, le mouvement d'ensemble qui affecte le christianisme latin entre le début du viie siècle et le début du xie, et qui contribue à la formation de la Chrétienté occidentale. L'épisode carolingien y représente un moment fort, avec l'élaboration d'un véritable modèle chrétien de mort et de sépulture, en liaison avec la tentative ecclésiastique d'encadrer et de contrôler tous les éléments de la vie sociale. L'extension du domaine franc sous Charle-magne et la confrontation avec d'autres ensembles politico-religieux entraînent une structuration idéologique nécessaire à l'unifi cation de l'Empire. Cette dernière s'accom pagne de l'unification et de la romanisation de la liturgie, dont les effets sont sensibles dans la vie intérieure de la Chrétienté. On assiste alors à l'émergence d'une véritable culture liturgique, dans laquelle gestes, actes et lieux de la mort deviennent un enjeu d'autant plus fondamental qu'ils sont au cœur de la représentation sociale.
