Will we manage to return death to the place it had before: a sad and above all inexorable fact that could touch us closer or further away or directly to us, but that was not a matter of daily calculation, numerical matter of news service every morning and every afternoon, grim routine of daily measurement? Social relations will find or rediscover their forms, at a greater or lesser distance, more or less suspicious, more or less glued together. And time will regain a stable graduation: the past, not so far away; the present, not so expanded; and the future, depending on what fits, shorter or longer.
What may be more difficult to Phone Number List and reconfigure is the social place of death: its character, its entity, its visibility, its statistics. If death is still there, as exposed as it is now, it will be difficult to accommodate us to any kind of normality, even if it is new, that accepts being given that name. Coda: conjectural essay on a future memory We do not know what memory we will have of this time, what memory we will forge of everything that happened.

We can at most suppose it, glimpse it, imagine it. But that single conjecture may already provide us with some relief, because scrutinizing this possible future memory shows that this very long present will also at some point be a past, that although it stretches into a kind of endless permanence (as extreme as that hygienic utopia: the of permanent hand washing ), in the long run it will pass, as everything happens, and will finally be a past, as in the long run everything is.
