This article examines the role of narrative interviews in bridging intergenerational gaps and challenge narrow perspectives and misconceptions about aging.

Attitudes towards death and representations of the afterlife in contemporary Romania
The dominant popular perception in contemporary Romania is that its people have strong, persistent and genuine Christian beliefs that are the main source of their attitudes towards death and of their representations of the afterlife. Questioning this assumption, this paper is based on two exploratory studies consisting of 80 semi-structured interviews and aims at investigating the features of personal representations related to death in contempor…

Le retour de la mort dans les représentations visuelles américaines du corps féminin. Entre déconstruction sociale et esthétisation thanatique
La société postmoderne occidentale n'est plus aussi réfractaire à permettre à la mort d'entrer dans l'ordre du représentable de sorte qu'on peut parler d'un nouveau paradigme de la mort, le renouveau/retour de la mort (Walter, 1994). Cela ne veut pas dire que la mort interdite (Ariès, 1977) est complètement dépassée mais seulement que nous n'avons plus affaire à un paradigme tout englobant. L'étude vise à examiner, d'une perspective socioculturel…
