"L'INVENTION DES MORTS" with Grégory Delaplace
Starting from a questioning of the place of the dead in the daily lives of nomadic shepherds in Mongolia, Grégory Delaplace sought to lay the foundations for an anthropology of the invisible. This has led him to take an interest in subjects as diverse as spirit apparitions, the practice of shamanism, the relationship with history... He takes us into the multiple processes by which the dead are "invented" as partners in formal or intimate relationships, which subvert the institutional frameworks imposed by the state and the clergy.
With Grégory Delaplace, anthropologist and Director of Studies at the École Pratique des Hautes Études. A member of the Groupe Sociétés Religions Laïcités and the Institut Universitaire de France (2017-2022), he was awarded the CNRS bronze medal in 2015.
