BOTELLO GIL, SLENKA LEANDRA. Bodies in Sin of the Purgatory's Souls. Front. hist. [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.2, pp.64-84. Epub 01-Jul-2021. ISSN 2027-4688. https://doi.org/10.22380/20274688.1416.
From a multidisciplinary perspective between historical and art studies, this article analyzes devotional practices around the figure of souls in Purgatory and the social use of their images during the 18th century in New Granada Viceroyalty. From the construction of the category bodies in sin, this paper studies the place of the souls as mediating beings in the social body of the Catholic Church for the colonial period. The text links the analysis of two paintings of souls that will allow exploring the body/soul dichotomy in theological discourse, the close relationship between the world of the living and the world of the dead that purging souls allowed to develop, and the relationships of their corporality with devotional practices.
