Abstract

The book Morir en Calderón. Estructuras y ritualidad funeraria examines community cemeteries in northern Quito as spaces of memory, dispute, and affection, where death becomes a lens to understand political, social, economic, and cultural processes. Through historical archives and local testimonies, the authors reveal how funerary practices reflect spatial segregation, struggles over the administration of death, urban tensions, and the construction of community bonds. The work highlights the ritual, festive, and gastronomic dimensions of death, showing how communities reframe mourning and strengthen collective identity around their deceased.
