ROCA, FACUNDO. Militarization of death: war and religion in the Río de la Plata at the beginning of the 19th century (1806-1820). Hist. Caribe [online]. 2020, vol.15, n.36, pp.205-234.  Epub 07-Jul-2021. ISSN 0122-8803.  https://doi.org/10.15648/hc.36.2020.9.

The purpose of this article is to examine the impact of the wars in the early nineteenth century, particularly in the field of collective attitudes towards death. Different sources reveal the profound impact of the continued state of war, in which the Río de la Plata was subjected since 1806. This, in regard to the way of understanding and facing death, as well as the rupture implications in this new sensitivity related to the old baroque model. We also identify different mechanisms and devices designed to resignify death within this particular context.
