Résumé Cet article présente les résultats d'une recherche empirique sur les faits tragiques survenus à Lampedusa le 3 octobre 2013 et compare deux processus culturels contraires et liés. Le premier processus ( dématérialisant ) implique des acteurs et des institutions sociales visant une dissimulation et une raréfaction des aspects matériels liés à la mort. Le second, lui ( matérialisant ), se fonde sur une reconnaissance de la mort en termes corporels. Les deux processus mobilisent des ressources physiques et cognitives et se déploient aussi bien sur le plan symbolique que réel.

I examine how South Korean children learn culturally specific emotional knowledge, especially affective hierarchy and the association between emotional displays and social roles, through participation in peer talk. An analysis of children's and teachers' everyday emotional discourses shows that children, rather than passively adopting adult emotional discourses, creatively employ a range of linguistic and communicative features regarding emotions to construct their own culture‐laden emotional world. Findings articulate the role children's peer talk has in cultural reproduction and dynamic aspects of the language socialisation processes.
