Présentation

This workshop aims at questioning the relationship between death and mobility in situations of mass violence and international migration. It tackles both the treatment of corpses and the fate of dead people in the beyond. Tracing the parallel geographies of the living and the dead, this workshop will shed light on the ways in which the journeys of the dead inflect those of the living, and vice versa. 

This event is organised within the framework of the ANR-FRSCQ project entitled Morts en contexte de migration (MECMI); it is convened by Gregory Delaplace & Carolina Kobelinsky and will be held at the Laboratoire d’ethnologie et de sociologie comparative (LESC).
