Description

Parce qu'elle consiste à remplir le cadavre en injectant par voir artérielle une solution conservatrice, la thanatopraxie peut être définie comme une technique d'embaumement tournée exclusivement vers des préoccupations matérielles. Destinée à conserver temporairement le corps des défunts en vue de les rapatrier vers le lieu de sépulture choisi ou de les exposer à visage découvert pour leur rendre un dernier hommage, cette pratique s'inscrit dans une longue tradition funéraire qui s'enracine au Moyen Âge. Pourtant, le recours à l'embaumement pratique reste un usage mal connu du grand public français, y compris comme technique de restauration des cadavres accidentés. La diversité des terminologies usitées, la fluctuation des définitions données comme la rétention d'informations faite sur le mode opératoire font de la thanatopraxie une pratique difficile à cerner. Une pratique de l'ombre derrière laquelle se cache une corporation de professionnels stigmatisés, tenus au secret initiatique du c?ur transpercé et du sang jeté. About the Author Mélanie LEMONNIER mène ses recherches sur la thanatopraxie en France depuis 1994. Ce document est une version allégée de sa thèse de doctorat en ethnologie soutenue en 2006 à l'Université Montpellier III. Aujourd'hui, elle anime des conférences et poursuit ses travaux en collaboration avec d'autres chercheurs.
