Title: Duality via cycle complexes.

Abstract: We explain that Bloch's cycle complex D can be used as a dualizing complex for constructible sheaves on any scheme (smooth or not) over an algebraically closed field. This generalizes most duality results for constructible sheaves, and unifies the mod p and prime to p theories. If time permits, we give some applications.
