How to care for, store, display and interpret human remains, and issues of their ownership, are contentious questions, ones that need to be answered with care and due consideration. This book offers a systematic overview of the responses made by museums and other repositories in the UK, providing a baseline for understanding the scope and nature of human remains collections and the practices related to their care. The introduction sets UK practices within an international context, while subsequent chapters, all written by leading experts, cover a wide range of topics through key case studies: legislation and ethical obligations; issues of both long-term and short-term care; differing perspectives associated with human remains collections in different parts of the UK; a comparison of attitudes and approaches in large institutions and small museums; the creative use of redundant churches; and challenges facing research/teaching laboratories and collections resulting from recent archaeological excavations. Myra Giesen is Lecturer at the International Centre for Cultural and Heritage Studies, Newcastle University.

"Comment le droit, coincé entre les catégories de chose ou de personne, peut-il qualifier la dépouille humaine? Si la dépouille n’est plus une personne, elle devrait nécessairement être une chose. Mais peut-on considérer que les restes humains sont de simples choses, des biens appropriables et vendables? De quels droits la dépouille prend-elle corps juridiquement? L’ouvrage propose de mettre en lumière la nature spéciale des restes humains, marqués par une forme de respect et de dignité, voire de sacralité. De manière prospective, il essaye aussi de situer conceptuellement les restes humains dans un continuum entre chose et personne. Certains restes humains sont en prise avec le patrimoine culturel, étant partie à une collection muséale, universitaire, scientifique ou archéologique. Du corps défunt au corps patrimonialisé, le droit glisse vers de nouvelles questions. De quel droit la dépouille patrimonialisée se trouve-t-elle conservée, étudiée, parfois exposée, dans des collections? Ces restes humains ne devraient-ils pas retourner auprès des leurs, en particulier ceux collectés dans le contexte colonial? Mettant en regard différentes législations et pratiques internationales et nationales (États-Unis, France, Royaume-Uni, Allemagne, Suisse, Pays-Bas et Belgique), l’ouvrage développe un modèle de justice patrimoniale inclusive pour répondre à l’enjeu actuel du rapatriement des restes humains et plus largement de la restitution des collections culturelles." --

'We request an immediate favour of you, to build a shelter for us women and small children, because we have absolutely no place to take refuge and we are terrified!' This French mother's petition sent to her mayor on the eve of Germany's 1940 invasion of France reveals civilians' security concerns unleashed by the Blitzkrieg fighting tactics of World War II. Unprepared for air warfare's assault on civilian psyches, French planners were among the first in history to respond to civilian security challenges posed by aerial bombardment. France under Fire offers a social, political and military examination of the origins of the French refugee crisis of 1940, a mass displacement of eight million civilians fleeing German combatants. Scattered throughout a divided France, refugees turned to German Occupation officials and Vichy administrators for relief and repatriation. Their solutions raised questions about occupying powers' obligations to civilians and elicited new definitions of refugees' rights.
