description The article focusses on the analysis of condolence letters, poetry and musical compositions that men and women sent to President Juan Domingo Perón regarding the death of his wife Eva in 1952. It dives into the very diverse languages, objects and situations that structured the writing, as well as the emotions associated with the loss. Through the letters, an attempt was made to communicate and put in order the experiences of pain; to narrate the feelings of the people as an expression of the prolific political bond between the mourners and Peronism; or even to propose how to remember Eva and who should keep the political and emotional heritage posed by her disappearance. The corpus of letters provides a unique opportunity to explore the ways in wich some men and women tried to make sense of a crucial historical event in their lives in particular, for Peronism in general, and for Argentine politics beyond the ritual as it was planned and controlled by the State.

El artículo analiza cartas de pésame, poesías y composiciones musicales que hombres y mujeres enviaron al presidente Juan Domingo Perón por la muerte de su esposa Eva en 1952. Para comprender cómo se construye una narrativa de dolor por la muerte se presta atención a los lenguajes, objetos y situaciones que estructuraron la escritura, así como a las emociones asociadas con la pérdida. Por medio de las cartas se intentó comunicar y poner algún orden a las experiencias de dolor; narrar el sentir del pueblo como indicador de la fecundidad del lazo político entre los dolientes y el peronismo; o proponer cómo recordar a Eva muerta y quien debería quedarse con la herencia política y emocional que planteaba su desaparición. El corpus de cartas brinda una oportunidad única para explorar cómo algunos hombres y mujeres intentaron dar sentido a un evento histórico crucial para sus vidas, para el peronismo y para la política argentina por fuera del ritual planificado y controlado por el estado.
