Oraciones y cantares al angelito. Corrientes (Argentina) y Sur del Paraguay

摘要

From the field of Anthropology of death, death and the dead we cut for this presentation part of the problem linked to the prayers and songs before the death of the little angel. We aim to record and analyze some of the prayers and songs that enable “angelization” - and the child’s passage to heaven - in the wake and burials. The material is retaken from historical sources and first-hand records, the latter comprising the 2010-2018 period. In this way we realize a complex network of relationships between the bereaved and the deceased child based on the prayers and songs.
