Abstract (may include machine translation)
"Death is a private matter, artists should not invade the death of others." But what about historians? Especially when death is no longer a private matter because it is photographed and filmed, and these images are printed, posted and transmitted in different ways. This book aims to revisit history and history writing as they are affected by the boom in media images of death. We aim to explore how images of death have evolved in a European context, interacting with the collective memory and how these images have influenced the way history is written.
