| Summary: | Dense description of liminal social experiences, characterized by painstaking work with details, is a unique laboratory for understanding ambivalent fissures, producing and produced, through which to discover clues about how solidification mechanisms work on imaginaries. Here I describe the collective experience of a violent death that occurred on a street in Bogota where an intensive sensory exchange took place between different social actors motivated by the public collection of the corpse. The scene thus reveals the fissures through which a process of normalization and naturalization of evil is filtered, derived from an ambivalent use of God, in the midst of an implicit social game of solidification called theological lawlessness here. |
