This chapter aims to deploy a discourse-theoretical framework to better understand the relationship between ethics and death, more particularly in the case of war. War, or armed conflict, is one of the areas of the social where the encounter between death and the ethical is highly complex, because of the strong ethical claims that actors engaged in warfare make in order to legitimate their violent practices. This chapter focuses on one particular area of this encounter between death and the ethical in wartime, and that is the ethicality of killing (and dying) itself. In order to do so, three models will be developed; the legitimisation ethics of war model, the celebratory ethics of war model and the ethics of peace model.
