The article discusses the attitude of modern society to death and, in the cultural dimension, the impact of media technologies for further changes related to the perception of dying. The author considers the title issue in the context of premodern and modern reflection on the anthropology of the body and anthropology death. Then he develops them in the context of new conditions and determinants connected with to the radical change of technology and media. We are dealing not only with another displacement of the a dying body and dead body beyond the sphere of culture and everyday life, as it was in modernity, but also with its abandonment. Interestingly, this is happening in a body-capital-oriented culture. We should talk about absent death and the new phantom body. With the article, the author opens a discussion on virtual thanatopracticism, during the transition to a new type of society with a spectral structure.
