According to the basic assumption that monuments are the aesthetic mediators of memory—primarily the memory of the dead—the essay aims to discuss the imaginary of the body as a sepulchral monument. Taking as a starting point the legend of Artemisia of Caria, who celebrated the memory of her dead husband/brother Mausolus both by having the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus erected and by drinking Mausolus’ ashes so as to turn herself into his living sarcophagus, the analytic focus is on the replication of similar symbolic practices in contemporary culture, namely in the field of organ transplantation. The transplanted patient receives and preserves within his/her body the organ of the deceased donor, thus becoming, even if unintentionally, the donor’s memorial monument.
根据纪念碑是记忆(主要是死者的记忆)的审美媒介这一基本假设，本文旨在讨论将身体想象为坟墓纪念碑的问题。以Caria的Artemisia of Caria的传说为起点，她为了纪念死去的丈夫/兄弟Mausolus，既建立了Halicarnassus陵墓，又喝下了Mausolus的骨灰，把自己变成了他的活石棺，分析的重点是在当代文化中类似的象征性实践的复制，即在器官移植领域。移植的病人接受并保留了已故供者的器官，从而成为供者的纪念纪念碑，即使是无意的。
