This volume explores current images of afterlife/afterdeath and the presence of the dead in the imaginations of the living in Indian and Western traditions. Specifically, it focuses on the deepest and most fundamental uncertainty of human existence---the awareness of human mortality, on which depends any assignment of meaning to earthly existence as also to notions of worldly and otherworldly salvation. This central idea is addressed in the literature, arts, audiovisual media and other cultural artefacts of the two traditions. The chapters are based on two main assumptions: First, that one cannot report on the direct experience of death; so it is only possible to speak allegorically of it. Second, in contemporary Western societies, marked by structural atheism, people look at literature, the arts and mass media to study their depiction and reading of traditionally religious questions of disease, death and the Beyond. This is in contrast to Asian civilizations whose preoccupation with death and Beyond is persistent and perhaps central to the civilizations’ highest thought. The chapters cover a wide spectrum of disciplinary approaches, from psychoanalysis to religious, anthropological, literary and film studies, from sociology and philosophy to art history, and address issues of unsettling power: comforting illusions of afterlife; the relations between afterlife and fertility; visions of technological immortalization of mankind; the problem of thinking about death after the “death of God”; socialist utopias of bodily immortality; fear of Hell and punishment; different concepts in relating the living and the dead; near-death experiences; and cultural practices of spiritualism, occultism and suicide.

Les incertitudes de notre temps bousculent les horizons de l'attente, tels qu'une modernité conquérante et qu'un régime classique de la croyance chrétienne les avaient structurés, pour longtemps et dans la polémique. Nous assistons en effet à des ré-âménagements des manières de concevoir et de vivre les rapports entre vie et mort, corps et esprit, temps et éternité, histoire et cosmos, espoir individuel et eschatologie collective qui opèrent des synthèses inédites - des syncrétismes ? - entre des bribes de traditions religieuses et métaphysiques d'une part et de segments de culture scientifique d'autre part. La tâche théologique est dès lors soumise à un double défi : réinterroger sa propre tradition et évaluer, sans complaisance ni crispation, la montée des ésotérismes, dans l'espoir de restituer sa force de percussion à la dimension eschatologique propre à la foi chrétienne quand elle confesse, à partir de l'événement pascal, l'attente de la résurrection des morts et du monde à venir. Ce travail, la session théologique 1988 de l'École des Sciences Philosophiques et Religieuses des FUSL a voulu y contribuer selon son style propre : présentation de dossiers descriptifs et informatifs, appel fait à des questionnements interprétatifs, recours à des essais théologiques pluriels.
