%X La configuraci車n de una obra, cualquiera que 谷sta sea, es una imagen fiel de la sociedad y del tiempo hist車rico en la cual se inserta. Las im芍genes, mobiliarios y objetos, diversos en cuanto a su ornamentaci車n pero integrados en su funci車n, gravitan en torno a la figura, el relato y la estructura que se sit迆a como elemento central de la obra. Desde esta perspectiva la "animita" es una obra dedicada al difunto, cuya funci車n se relaciona con la memoria, con el recuerdo de un ser querido, que tiene un comienzo -el momento de su construcci車n- pero que no tiene t谷rmino hist車rico preciso, ya que permanece, est芍 ah赤 en el lugar del suceso transform芍ndose en memoria de manera recurrente. En este trabajo intentaremos individualizar y caracterizar esta obra tan particular que permanece en el espacio, dando cuenta de un contexto social que se expresa simb車licamente mediante un conjunto de objetos significativos. The composition of any artistic work is a faithful representation of the historic period and society in which it is inserted. The ornamentation of the images, furniture and various objects, although integrated to their function, gravitate around their figure, speech, and the structure that is situated as the central element of the artistic work. From this point of view, the animita is a work dedicated to whom is dead, being it's function related to memory, with the remembrance of a loved one; it has a beginning, which is the time of its building, but it doesn't have a precise historical ending, because it lasts, it is located in the place where the event took place, and it transforms in a recurrent memory. In this article we try to define and characterize this type of construction that stays in place speaking about a social context which symbolically express itself through a group of significant objects.
