"There is a Chilean rock band named Difuntos Correa." I don't find this comment to be relevant to the rest of the article. ACinfo (talk) 21:23, 25 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Proposed addition to External links

Latest comment: 1 month ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I would like to propose adding the following external link to the article. I am the author of the paper, so I am disclosing this as a potential conflict of interest in accordance with Wikipedia's guidelines.

Proposed link:

From Blanes to the Difunta Correa: Iconography, Plague, and the Myth of the Desert – English version of the academic paper by Tiziano Fabris (Academia.edu)

Why it is relevant: The paper examines the iconographic relationship between Juan Manuel Blanes' 1871 painting An Episode of Yellow Fever in Buenos Aires and the popular image of the Difunta Correa. It analyzes how the same visual structure – a dead woman with a nursing child – operates in both the academic and popular spheres, and discusses the 2015 artistic procession that was declared of parliamentary interest by the Argentine Senate. The paper also explores the symbolic tension between Buenos Aires (the center of official art history) and San Juan (the desert territory where the myth of the Difunta Correa originated).

This would be a valuable addition to the External links section as it provides scholarly context for the iconographic discussion already present in the article.

Thank you for your consideration. ~2026-37572-40 (talk) 03:20, 1 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
