Louis-Vincent Thomas débute sa carrière sur le continent africain et y étudie tour à tour les systèmes de pensée, les représentations, la notion de personnalité, les idéologies, les mythes, les rites et les symboles. Une idée-force résulte de ces premiers travaux : " La mort n'est pas le contraire de la vie mais peut-être sa condition fondamentale. " (Thomas, 1993) Dès lors, la question de la finitude devient le coeur de ses recherches, mêlant diverses disciplines, approches et thématiques. Et c'est ainsi que l'initiateur de la thanatologie, voyageant dans les chemins de l'imaginaire, de la science-fiction, des obsessions, du quotidien, des corps et des mythologies, a tissé une science et un art de la mort dans la vie. Plus de vingt ans après sa disparition, nous proposons d'effectuer un retour sur l'oeuvre féconde de ce penseur pluriel et insaisissable. Hommage visant à percevoir les résonances de son héritage et les empreintes de sa personnalité, de son itinéraire et de ses recherches.
