Relatos de quienes quedan, by Vinciane Despret, which seeks to place it, first of all, in the framework of the unprecedented experience of the massive number of deaths that the pandemic brought us and the consequent need to reimagine the forms of mourning. But, at the same time, it shows the centrality of her intervention in the framework of the ongoing theoretical debates about the devastating effects of human exceptionalism and the need to rethink the humanities beyond their circle. Thus, the book is located at a double juncture, both vital and theoretical, pointing out how the necessary transformation of our relationship with the dead, which has become urgent with the Covid experience, is linked to the need for a general mutation of thought and of the human sciences on a scale as massive as the experience of the pandemic. Este trabajo propone una lectura de A la salud de los muertos. Relatos de los que quedan, de Vinciane Despret, que busca situarlo, antes que nada, en el marco de la experiencia inédita de la masividad de muertes que nos trajo la pandemia y la consecuente necesidad de reimaginar las formas del duelo. Pero, a la vez, muestra la centralidad de su intervención en el marco de los debates teóricos en curso acerca de los efectos devastadores del excepcionalismo humano y la necesidad de repensar a las humanidades más allá de su círculo. Así, el libro se instala en una doble coyuntura, a la vez vital y teórica, señalando cómo la necesaria transformación de nuestra relación con los muertos, vuelta urgente con la experiencia del Covid, se liga a la necesidad de una mutación general del pensamiento y de las ciencias de lo humano de una escala tan masiva como la experiencia de la pandemia.

But, at the same time, it shows the centrality of her intervention in the framework of the ongoing theoretical debates about the devastating effects of human exceptionalism and the need to rethink the humanities beyond their circle. Thus, the book is located at a double juncture, both vital and theoretical, pointing out how the necessary transformation of our relationship with the dead, which has become urgent with the Covid experience, is linked to the need for a general mutation of thought and of the human sciences on a scale as massive as the experience of the pandemic. |
