Representaciones de la muerte en un catecismo indígena: nuevas concepciones sobre ritualidad funeraria

Abstract

The present work aims to show the different types of representation of death, as a concept of Catholicism, without leaving aside pre-Hispanic semantics, that in a semasiographic way is reflected in the catechisms, to indoctrinate in a new worldview that seeks to legitimize its belief through the rite. The corpus to be used for this work is the Testerian codex number three, which is part of the project Amoxcalli, headed by Dr. Luz María Mohar; while the methodology used will be the Galarza method in its early stages, to be able to make a small catalog dictionary, allowing to identify the pictographic conventions on the narrative of death.
