| THEMA | Sociology: death and dying |
| Synopsis | Throught an examination of the history of the symbolism of death this innovative study is a landmark in the comprehension of the unique, rich usage which Mexico has made of the image of death. Unlike contemporary Europeans and North Americans, whose denial of death is deeply embedded in their cultures, Mexico cultivates a goodhumored familiarity with death that has made it a cornerstone of the country´s national identity. |
