BERMUDEZ, Natalia. Living Deads: An Ethnography on the proliferation of iconography around young people violently killed in popular sectors of Córdoba (Argentina). Soc. relig. [online]. 2018, vol.28, n.49, pp.49-72. ISSN 1853-7081.

In this article, I will discuss the proliferation of iconography dedicated to those youths killed violently in settlments and popular neighborhoods of the city of Cordoba (Argentina). The reflections that I develop here are based on a much broader and comparative ethnographic research that I started in 2007, which focuses on the family, social and political networks associated to the deaths that occurred in slams and popular neighborhoods of the city of Cordoba in contexts of violence. In this context, I have been discussing shows kinship and social obligations towards the young dead -and to those left alive- as moral affronts that "violent deaths" wake. According intend to show, patrimonial of violent deaths in popular sectors can confront the hegemonic meanings that stigmatize, enabling narrate "from below" and providing them with emotions, experiences and versions that their families, friends and neighbors mobilize around them.

Keywords : Violent Deaths; Caves; Popular Sectors; Experiences; Córdoba.
