| description | This article analyzes the evolution of posthumous treatment of the body during the nineteenth century in the territory of what is now Mexico (particularly the bishopric of Chiapa y Soconusco) through antecedents in the Mesoamerican past and under the Spanish colonial regime. Bibliographic sources and archival documents allow for an understanding of the concept of “cadaver” through three different aspects: as a reverential object of sacralization (relic), as a feared source of impurity and contamination (waste), and as an increasingly festive patriotic symbol (fetish). In what way did these conceptual phases intervene in the processes of conquest, colonization and formation of the Mexican nation-state? What role did the notion of “piety” play in each one of them? |

Se analiza la evolución del tratamiento póstumo durante el siglo xix en el territorio del actual México (y particularmente desde el obispado de Chiapa y Soconusco), a partir de antecedentes tanto del pasado mesoamericano, como del régimen colonial español. Fuentes bibliográficas y algunos documentos de archivo permiten examinar el concepto de “cadáver” según tres distintos aspectos: como objeto reverencial de sacralización (reliquia), como temida fuente de impureza y contaminación (desecho) y como símbolo patriótico cada vez más festivo (fetiche). ¿De qué manera intervinieron esas fases conceptuales en los procesos de conquista, colonización y formación del Estado-nación mexicano? ¿Qué papel jugó en cada una de ellas la noción de “piedad”?
