Resumen
El presente trabajo pretende reconstruir la fundación y el posterior crecimiento del cementerio público de la Villa Cabecera perteneciente al Departamento de Maipú, en la provincia de Mendoza (Argentina). A su vez, se busca vincular su formación con la Ley sancionada por el gobierno provincial en el año 1828 acerca de la creación de necrópolis estatales. Se considera que en la historia y en la construcción de este establecimiento se manifiestan aspectos contextuales asociados a las formas de vida y a las representaciones de la sociedad de la época, puesto que en los espacios destinados a los entierros se expresan las prácticas y los rituales funerarios de las sociedades en general y los actores en particular, y ellos se modifican de acuerdo con las creencias que se tiene acerca de la muerte. Desde la colonización hasta la construcción del cementerio, los sepulcros se realizaban en sitios sagrados, de este modo, convivían en el corazón de la ciudad los vivos y los muertos. Pero cuando esta convivencia se puso en discusión por diferentes factores, los muertos fueron colocados extramuros, tal como dispuso la Ley ya citada. Dicha labor se basa en documentos y artículos de la prensa local que serán abordados desde una perspectiva histórica, implicando los pasos propios de dicha disciplina.
This work intends to reconstruct the founding and later growth of the public cemetery in the principal village of the Department of Maipú, Mendoza Province (Argentina). It also seeks to link its formation to the law passed by the provincial government on July 5th, 1828, regarding the establishment of state necropolises. In the history and creation of such spaces, contextual aspects associated with lifestyles and social representations of the era appear, since in places destined for burials, the funerary practices and rites of societies in general and of individuals in particular are expressed and modified according to the beliefs held regarding death. From colonization to construction of the main necropolis in Maipú, burials were made at holy sites; thus, the dead and the living coexisted in the heart of the city. When various factors started questioning this coexistence, the dead were placed outside the town, as stipulated by the previously mentioned law for public cemeteries. This work is based on documents and articles in the local press, addressed from a historical perspective involving the specific steps of that discipline
