| Sumario: | We understand that the crisis generated by SAR-Cov-2 globally has characteristics of syndemics that accentuate structural inequalities in the vulnerable sectors of society. The situation is no different in northwest Argentina, a peripheral region where multiple socio-cultural traditions are intertwined. We analyze here the processes upon which health/disease and death are articulated, and the ways in which these relationships modify everyday expressions, especially those rooted in the rituals of death. From a multidimensional approach we propose to understand how inequality can be reproduced institutionally, and to deepen the deficiencies in excluded groups. Thus we are interested in observing facts, testimonial accounts and interviews with relatives of the deceased in this context, which reinforce the idea of life and death as indivisible parts of a cycle that persists with strength and significance in public and private spaces. |
