Mexico stands out for its rites of symbolization of death. Being historically determined by the richness of its prehispanic cultures, and through the fusion of catholic and Mesoamerican rites, Mexicans' relationship with death is unique. Nowadays, the violence that strikes the country has forced people to face the following question: what do Mexicans do against this kind of contemporary extermination, particularly when it concerns violent deaths, dissapearances by the organized crime (which implies the absence of a body to mourn), deaths due to maximized natural disasters caused by unsustainable urban planning, or murderous governments who killed the youth, where neither justice nor mourning rites are possible. We inquire, through psychoanalysis and sociohistorical literature of Mexico, the cohesion of old and new ways of managing the excess of death: from mourning rites and traditions in their cathartic condition, to the anti-naturality of violent deaths, exploring loss and the status of mourning in the insufficiency of the rite.
