  • The word "tradition" leads us to the transmission of values and histories. The pandemic stage in where we live and that forced this congress to be canceled made us look to this tradition of epidemics and confinement with a history from the XVI century and an even longer tradition about humans behavior, power, and death. Within this frame, we will open the door to the future with the final stage of the steps defined in 1969 by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in this process of dying: acceptance. What will this acceptance bring us for the future when we deal globally with the fact that no matter how outstanding the spiritual and cultural edifices we build are, a microscopic natural incident like a virus or an asteroid can end it all. Conclusions are drawn from the XVI historical episode, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross dying process methodization, and Žižek reflections about the pandemic.
