Abstract

Considering death as a socially constructed event, this article examines contemporary practices of mourning externalization through the case of a young man's murder in Vitória (ES). The analysis draws on materials from social media, local newspapers, and photographic records. The study observes that public and bodily symbolic manifestations operate as forms of claim-making and remembrance, pointing to transformations in the ways mourning is experienced, shared, and territorialized.
