Abstract
The experience of coma due to serious illness, and the memories connected to that experience, are the main focus of the article. Those perceptions and memories are described as a world turned upside down, in which, however, the personality remains present and alert. The coma experience is then juxtaposed with another event that the author defines as one of finality: the Armenian genocide of 1915-1922, and the memories preserved by survivors of a lost world: the very memory may become a necessary force for the construction of another world.
