Abstract

Through the review of the limits and possible uses of a peripheral category of Alfonso Pérez-Agote's work, that of mourning, the text makes an "applied praise" of a way of "doing theory through researching" (hot theory, middle-range theory). The applied praise can, by coherence, only be so if itself stretches the Pérez-Agote's uses of the category, if it takes it beyond. It means that, besides proposing the des-individualization or socialization of the mourning category, the article offers a modest hypothesis: that mourning can occupy complete collective lives in space and time and that those collective lives are social, but not social as any other.
