La manipulación de la memoria andina en la evangelización del Virreinato del Perú

Abstract

This paper analyzes various tactics promoted by the evangelizers of the Viceroyalty of Peru tending to create common narrative or ritual spaces able to integrate the indigenous population into Christian practice because of their own expectations and experiences by the symbiosis of characters of the gospel history with American events or the superimposition of Christian marks on Andean objects of worship. Finally, it discusses some of the ways in which the native population reprocessed the imposed religion according to its own parameters, as well in plastic as in functional terms.
