CARETTA, Gabriela  e  GAYOL, Sandra. MUERTES, RITUALES Y POLÍTICAS EN PANDEMIAS NOTAS AL DOSSIER. Andes [online]. 2022, vol.33, n.2, pp.411-426. ISSN 1668-8090.

In this article we recover two central questions of the studies on death and dying in extraordinary contexts generated by epidemics and pandemics: what did governments do in relation to the life and death of people and what transformations or resistances can be observed in relation to the forms of dying and mortuary rituals. Both questions, also present in the works that are part of this dossier, were thought in historical perspective and anchored from the existential experiences of our own pandemic present.

The intention of this dossier was to explore, with the evidence so far available, some of the questions mentioned and whose answers we are far from proposing as finished but rather as the beginning of a broad and interdisciplinary conversation that invites dialogue and the incorporation of mortality, death, and the dead as significant and significant social and political events to envision possible futures.
