Dia De Los Muertos

Se describen y analizan las prácticas de cuidado ante la muerte y su expresión narrativa en el contexto ritual de Perico, una localidad de la Provincia de Jujuy, Argentina. Abordamos una relación poco explorada entre cuidados y muerte, a partir de materiales originales recabados mediante observación y entrevistas abiertas, extensas y recurrentes, en el marco de un extenso trabajo de campo entre los años 2009 y 2014. Desde un abordaje cualitativo, desarrollamos una estrategia interpretativa a partir de la deconstrucción de significados en torno de las creencias sostenidas por nuestros informantes. Prestamos especial atención a los ritos mortuorios en el contexto del Día de los Muertos, los que ponen en evidencia la combinación de concepciones ancestrales y experiencias religiosas, como las estrategias cognitivas relativas a la significación de la vida y la muerte.

Dia De Los Muertos

Keluarga menjadi hal pokok dan pertama dimana relasi diajarkan. Ajaran moral dan pedoman hidup merupakan bagian eksistensi yang nyata dalam bentuk komunikasi anggota keluarga. Wajar adanya jika tema kasih sayang dalam keluarga kerap dijumpai pada sebuah film. Kedekatan emosi, persoalan yang sama, hingga latar cerita membuat tema ini mudah diterima penontonnya. Konflik sederhana namun jika diramu dengan baik tentu akan memikat penonton. Apalagi jika menyajikan visual yang memukau. Coco adalah perjalanan emosional yang mudah dimengerti. Sebuah perjalanan singkat untuk kembali mengenal arti keluarga dan wisata budaya Meksiko dalam Dia de los Muertos. Coco merajut makna kehilangan dan kematian bukan dengan cara klise. Menyuguhkan hal yang tampak lebih indah dalam memaknai sebuah kematian. Nafas naratif tak sekadar dari dialog dan konflik antar tokohnya jauh dari hal itu, Coco menawarkan elemen visual yang menawan. Musik yang saling mengisi emosional tokoh dengan ujung dramatik adegan yang menguras air mata.

The Dead

The word death is not pronounced in New York, Paris or London, because it burns the lips. The Mexican, by contrast, is familiar with death, jokes about it, caresses it, sleeps with it, celebrates it... it is one of his most favourite toys and his most steadfast love. True, there is perhaps as much fear in his attitude as in that of others, but at least death is not hidden away... (Paz, 1967, in Sayer, 2009: 105) While every country has its own festivals and celebrations, each deeply rooted in the country’s culture, none does so more vibrantly than Mexico’s festival of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), which dates back to the Aztec belief in life as part of the wider cycle of existence (Weiss, 2010). Celebrated on All Saints’ and All Souls’ days at the start of November, Mexico’s festival is significantly different from other countries’ celebrations, such as the perhaps more familiar Westernised, secular celebration of Halloween. Although festivities vary from region to region across Mexico, it seems that remembrance remains central to the festival, during which the living “honour the souls of the departed with gifts of food and flowers” (Sayer, 2009: 12). Far from being a sombre affair, Dia de los Muertos is a time for celebration mixing Spanish Catholic traditions with ancient Aztec rituals, it is “quite the reverse of morbid; it is a period full of life, colour and festival” (Carmichael and Sayer, 1991: 7). By contrast, Western Catholic countries continue to honour more traditional practice of All Saints’ Day, a national holiday in many Catholic countries, including Spain, where Todos los Santos remains as one of the country’s most celebrated religious festivals and All Souls’ Day, on which ancient customs of decorating graves and praying for the dead are still observed (Catholic Culture, 2015).
