Conférence : Philippe Charlier

What if the dead could finally reveal the truth?

A hair, a fragment of bone, a forgotten relic: sometimes it takes almost nothing to shake centuries of certainty. Using the most advanced tools in forensic medicine, Philippe Charlier reopens the most fascinating cases from our past and reveals what history, beliefs and legends have left in the shadows. From crypts to laboratories, reliquaries to royal tombs, the researcher takes us on a fascinating historical investigation in which every discovery brings you closer to the most unsettling secrets the dead have left to the living.

Lecture followed by a book sale and signing, in partnership with Librairie Valentin.

Booking required.

Due to ongoing work at the bibliothèque Mohammed Arkoun, the lecture will take place at BiLiPo (Bibliothèque des Littératures Policières).
