1. Discuss the cult of the animitas, and narcorridos, as death memorials, as arenas for the expression of injustice, and as subversive elements in the public realm. 2. Describe the practice of the cult of Santa Muerte. Discuss the social, economic, political and historical factors shaping the growth of this cult in Mexico and the types of social critiques that are implicit in the practice of this form of popular culture. 3. As death is progressively becoming invisible in the Western world, spontaneous expressions of death are becoming more visible in the public space. How do you explain this paradox?
