GERES, René Osvaldo. With the dead to somewhere else...: Considerations on the funeral piety and its spaces in the city of Jujuy between the end of the colony and the first independent years. Andes [online]. 2010, vol.21, n.1. ISSN 1668-8090.

Salvation gestures in front of death showed a significant fissure point in the transition from the colony towards the republic. At the beginning of the XIXth century, from all the symbolic elements that conformed the funeral piety, those related to the burial place and its religious significance were the ones that showed visible changes in the speeches given by some members of San Salvador de Jujuy elite. Through this first analysis the main ideas of these speeches were identified in a context characterized by the scourge of war and scarcity of resources, in which the baroque and enlightened representations are mixed in order to shape a singular way of perceiving ritual instances in relation with the eternal rest
