| Synopsis | This book analyzes the ways of feeling and experiencing death in the context of late-colonial and post-revolutionary rioplatense society, as well as the transformations in religious attitudes and sensibilities throughout that transitional period. What did death represent for a porteño at the end of the 18th century? How was it perceived and experienced? How did the dying prepare for its imminent arrival? How did the relatives and friends of the deceased react? What were the links between the earthly world and the afterlife, between the living and the dead? |
