Esto se enmarca en un esfuerzo por comprender el papel de las prácticas culturales y simbólicas en la formación del Estado en América Latina, especialmente en Colombia. El artículo combina un enfoque cualitativo e interdisciplinario para examinar eventos clave, como el funeral de Pedro Justo Berrío y la cápsula del tiempo del bicentenario de Medellín, en 1875. A partir del análisis de fuentes primarias -poesía, oraciones fúnebres, obituarios, prensa de la época y documentos de archivo- el artículo explora cómo estos actos fortalecieron la cohesión de una comunidad política imaginada, reafirmando un sentido de pertenencia basado en la tradición, la religión y la autoridad. Estas ceremonias, al articular una memoria colectiva compartida, no solo reforzaron el orden conservador, sino que también sirvieron para disputar las interpretaciones históricas promovidas desde el centro del poder.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract The main objective of this article is to examine how conservative elites in Antioquia utilized civic rituals and public commemorations to legitimize their political power, foster a cohesive regional identity, and challenge the dominant centralist and liberal narratives during the second half of the nineteenth century. This analysis aims to shed light on the role of cultural and symbolic practices in state formation in Latin America, particularly in Colombia. The article adopts a qualitative and interdisciplinary approach to explore significant events, such as the funeral of Pedro Justo Berrío and the time capsule from Medellín&#8217;s bicentennial in 1875. Analyzing primary sources, including poetry, funeral orations, obituaries, periodicals, and archival documents, reveals how these acts reinforced the cohesion of an imagined political community, a sense of belonging grounded in tradition, religion, and authority.]]></p></abstract>
