When death occurs, the focus is on how communities determine the destiny of the corpse. It is rarer for the mobility of the dead to be a concern; this includes not only the movement from where they died to their burial place, but also when they pass from one cemetery to another, when they are exposed in public places or when they cross borders. Based on documentary and field research conducted with migrant families who repatriated a deceased close relative, I seek to provide insight into the question of the forms of mobility of human remains and their anchorings, during short as well as long temporalities, so as to re-examine certain conceptions of death and mourning.

This paper deals with the spiritualistic convictions of two authors, Victor Hugo and Arthur Conan Doyle, two fathers who became fascinated with other-wordly communications after having lost one of their children. Their faith in spiritualism is interpreted as a modern actualisation of Blaise Pascal's famous spiritual bet: I shall do as if there were a life after death, and as if it were possible to communicate with the souls of the dead; if I am wrong, I have lost nothing; if I am right, I am reunited with my lost ones. After all, is not survival in the consciousness of our loved ones a form of existence?

The oppositional notions of centre and periphery, mainstream and margin, and universal and local have long been important criteria for the scholarly study of Western music. Indeed they are often taken for granted. This paper will take a critical look at the relationship obtaining between art music the notion of a national music. The object of study is taken from among the works of the Canadian composer (of Czech origin) Oskar Morawetz. The point is not to deny that music can be legitimately associated with a given place but rather to examine how these complex, problematic relationships are created and how they evolve and/or dissolve over time.

How can we identify, where does the difference lie between a film and the text from which it was adapted ? Is it the code, the language, or the creative act of repetition ? From André Bazin to André Gaudreault, film theory seems to have reduced the discourse on “ adaptation ” to a shift of power and to a kind of technological determinism. This paper questions the validity of current theories and raises the relevance of repetition and poetics, which are trans-generic and trans-codal.
