Boxing up death: The use of symbolic-material devices to address gestational and perinatal mourning in hospitals and families in Catalonia (Spain).

One of the strategies used by Spanish hospitals to address gestational and perinatal mourning is the "memory box." This box contains various elements that refer to the child who has died and seeks to help parents to move through the mourning process. This secular strategy has its historical roots in a popular ritual practice that has fallen into disuse called the "velorio del angelito" (the angel's wake).

[The representation of deafness: the body and religion as agents of socialization].

The identification of the body as well as the family and religion in the socialization processes of deaf people are examined based in the epistemological reflection of the symbolic relational paradigm within the framework of symbolic interactionism. A longitudinal study was carried out during the years 2016 and 2017 following ten life trajectories, chosen from a sample of narratives of deaf subjects in the urban area of Bogotá (Colombia). Deaf adults who identified with contexts that could be described using the concept of alternation, had children of any age, were users of sign language and had experienced subjective processes related to Deaf culture were selected.
