| Description: | The presence of the State in the death process of its population bears the imprint of the society that establishes it and consequently undergoes the changes that this entails. However, despite the existence of a temporary and concrete need to manage the deceased body, the corpse has a symbolic function that requires effort from those who remain to reorganize themselves following that death (Despret, 2021). The Korean peninsula avoids any generalization not only due to its antiquity dating back to the Bronze Age but also because of its appropriation of funeral rituals structured in different religions up to the present. Profound changes in the Republic of Korea in recent decades prompt us to question how this globalized ethos has impacted its community in Argentina and what the response of the Korean State has been to the transformations of its society and whether these have affected funeral ritual practices. |
