Death, far from becoming a taboo subject in contemporary Western societies, is on the contrary omnipresent in the media. On the other hand, it is true that the concrete reality of the corpse tends to be hidden.
The event of “death” confronts us with three types of phenomena: the presence of the dead body; the emotional reactions of those close to us; the collective representations of loss and death.
By presenting, on the one hand, the Aboriginal case, and on the other, the Western case, two extremes will be identified: one is the subject of a unitary treatment and the other of a treatment which involves distinct processes with third parties intervening, distanced, who are not parents.
