Ensevelir et se souvenir presents social and cultural histories framed around the Plainpalais cemetery, offering a renewed perspective on Geneva’s past. Published through a civic and academic collaboration, the book assembles archival research and essays that recover forgotten biographies, highlight women long rendered invisible, and examine funerary rites and collective memory. The volume investigates how death shapes public narratives and civic identity. Complementary artistic performances accompany the book’s reflections, giving voice to select historical figures.
