The only certainty in life is death. Even the most powerful leaders throughout history were unable to cheat the Grim Reaper. World leaders, whether revered or reviled, are rarely allowed to exit gracefully from life but instead receive a state funeral, a major international event incorporating splendid symbols and messages, religious faith, and tradition. The body of Tsar Alexander III was carried across half of Russia before finally being buried in St. Petersburg. People paid obscene amounts of money for a room that gave a glimpse of Queen Victoria’s fascinating State funeral. The cortège for China’s Empress-Dowager Cixi was not to be photographed – nevertheless photos showed up a century later. For political reasons Generalissimo Franco’s body was exhumed decades after his death. The world became acquainted with a rather unusual ancient Roman Catholic ritual, when Pope John Paul I died. The body of India’s Indira Gandhi was confined to sacred flames. The last journey of Marshal Tito turned into an event of “Funeral Diplomacy”, whilst Khomeini’s funeral ended in frenzy and tumult. In 2021 the massive restrictions imposed due to the Covid-19 pandemic meant a rigid downsizing of Prince Philip’s funeral, hardly any guests were allowed to attend. This revealing and entertaining book provides an insight into unique obsequies from across the world, seen as both a celebration of life and the honouring of death.
With this volume of three essays, the authors want to create an opportunity for dialogue between different disciplines by taking a closer look at three cardio-physiological examples. In the essays presented, we will look at the exploration of different cardiological topics from the 20th century, all of which have contributed to a better understanding of certain aspects of cardiac activity. Not only do these insights provide a more complete picture of these cardiac phenomena, but it is also within this context that we can look for and into the patterns of regularities which govern this living organism. Our goal is to stimulate a dialogue on the philosophy of science in the spirit of Hans Reichenbach.

Object of fascination and fantasy, the female body can be idealized, reified or shrouded. “It is we who make women what they are worth and that is why they are worthless”, proclaimed Mirabeau in the days of the Enlightenment, to which Aragon later replied: “Woman is the future of Man”. The ambiguities of the female body are therein exposed. This work examines the relationship between the female body and biomedicine. Many possibilities are offered to women through biomedical techniques: from assistance to procreate (with assisted reproduction) to refusal to do so (contraception, voluntary sterilization, termination of pregnancy); to be informed of genetic predispositions (through the use of available genetic tests); or to improve their physical appearance with cosmetic surgery. But a recurrent question arises: with its rapid progress and its extreme medicalization of the body, can biomedicine liberate women? Or rather, given the risks of the commodification of the body or its parts, is it not a source of exploitation ? The authors of this work, jurists, anthropologists, philosophers, sociologists and doctors, have explored these questions. The contributions from nineteen countries in this international multidisciplinary study analyse the reality of the amazing developments of biomedicine on the female body. Numerous systems are compared for the first time; European, African, North and South American, but also Chinese and Japanese. Beyond highlighting differences, and identifying similarities in the development of “enhancement medicine”, the objective of this work is ultimately to show the complexity surrounding the question of a woman’s freedom over her body and the extent to which this is limited by the State.

« Une drôle de bonne femme » pour Gauguin, son petit-fils ; « la cousine de Marx et la grand-mère du MLF » pour ses admirateurs de 68 ; une héroïne romantique pour André Breton : tout au long de sa courte vie, Flora Tristan (1803-1844) n’a cessé de brouiller les représentations convenues. Elle qui se voyait comme « un être à part » anticipe les sensibilités de notre époque. Née aux marges de la société, elle refuse très jeune de confiner son existence ; de cette marginalité même elle fera un étendard : la Paria, une « indignée » avant l’heure. Cette biographie recompose l’itinéraire d’une femme intempestive qui bouscule ses contemporains en se risquant dans cette chasse gardée masculine qu’est l’espace public. Constituer la classe ouvrière, proclamer l’égalité des sexes, redéfinir le code amoureux en consacrant le principe du consentement explicite des femmes : voilà la mission qu’elle se donne. Inlassablement, elle prend la plume, s’aventure sur le terrain pour affronter le spectacle de la misère, au Pérou, en Angleterre et à travers la France, à la rencontre des prolétaires – compagnons du Tour de France, associations ouvrières, vétérans des insurrections de canuts... Flora Tristan, enfant du siècle des prophètes et des mages romantiques, transfère sur le peuple une sacralité créée par la Révolution. L’originalité de celle qui se voyait en apôtre de l’égalité est d’avoir placé l’identité sexuelle au cœur de la question sociale, avec une netteté et une radicalité inédites. Elle se sentait appelée à « faire sonner le 89 des femmes » pour enfin pouvoir réaliser le 89 des ouvriers, et ainsi l’émancipation du genre humain.
