Resumen

MARTINEZ, Bárbara. ESPACIO, PODER, ESTÉTICA RITUAL Y AGENCIA POSTMORTUORIA: EL FUNERAL DE ESTADO DE DIEGO MARADONA. Andes [online]. 2022, vol.33, n.2, pp.333-357. ISSN 1668-8090.

This paper analyses how power, use of space and aesthetics are displayed in Diego Maradona's state funeral. The argument is that, in spite of taking the same symbols as raw materials, both the State and the assistants have their own and distinctive ways of symbolizing the ritual. A quick analysis might equate the conceptions of football, space and nation developed during the funeral. However, this paper, that combines methodological tools from ethnography, netnography and the use of several sources, shows distinctive processes of cultural creativity surrounding the football player's funeral.

Palabras clave : state funeral; space; ritual; power; symbols.
