[en] The text contains a reflection on the different meanings of the idea and experience of death, based on the reference to an event that occurred during the February 1945 bombing of the city of Dresden. It is the contrast between death that occurred in scenarios of distinction and personal recognition - in which the anthropological reflection of recognition is present - and collective death perpetrated by extermination. The text highlights the need for analytical and historical attention to the forms of death, in their opposite modalities: extermination imposed on external collectivities and individual death, which occurs within a regulated and qualified political body.
