The funerary scenography that Gustave Flaubert sets in this scene radicalises the break with the intimate code of death. It deprives the deceased of the role of protagonist of the drama to make room for the public management of death: the gestures and parades that regulate the ritual, beyond the collective and spiritual investment in death.}, doi = {10.4467/20843917RC.22.023.16188}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/romanica-cracoviensia/artykul/un-enterrement-a-paris-de-gustave-flaubert-leducation-sentimentale-1869} }
