Tradition and modernity La figura de la acabadora en La acabadora (2011) de Michela Murgia. Tradición y modernidad Astorquia, Aranza Belén La acabadora Eutanasia Tradición Modernidad La acabadora Euthanasia Tradition Modernness The aim of this article is to analyse the figure of the finisher, the woman who "helps" to die, embodied in the character of Bonaria Urrai in the novel La acabadora (2011), by Michela Murgia. In turn, this text will develop the conception of euthanasia in the work and the representation of the two opposing positions in relation to this practice, taking into consideration the naturalness with which the task of Bonaria is presented in Soreni, a fictional town located in the island of Sardinia, where the story takes place. Likewise, the perception of community members and the tension / coexistence of this practice with the values of the Catholic religion will be analysed. At the same time, another tradition represented in the novel will be addressed: the fillus de anima, which refers to the adoption of children agreed between particulars, avoiding the intervention of the State. Taking this exposition as a starting point, the article will reflect on the modernness and the soundness of the Sardinian traditions mentioned above, as well as on the current state of the debate about “dignified death”. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la figura de la acabadora, la mujer que “ayuda” a morir, encarnada en el personaje de Bonaria Urrai en la novela La acabadora (2011), de Michela Murgia. A su vez, en este texto se desarrollará la concepción de la eutanasia en la obra y la representación de las dos posturas contrapuestas en relación con dicha práctica, teniendo en consideración la naturalidad con la que se presenta el oficio de Bonaria en Soreni, pueblo ficcional ubicado en la isla de Cerdeña, donde transcurre la historia. Asimismo, se analizará la percepción de los miembros de la comunidad y la tensión/coexistencia de esta práctica con los valores de la religión católica. Paralelamente, se abordará otra tradición representada en la novela: los fillus de anima, que remite a la adopción de niños pactada entre particulares, eludiendo la intervención del Estado. A partir de la exposición, se reflexionará sobre la modernidad y vigencia de estas tradiciones sardas, así como sobre la actualidad del debate acerca de la “muerte digna”.
