De sujets à objets de l’histoire
Cette communication revisite un objet classique de l’anthropologie historique des Andes, celui du culte des ancêtres à l’aube de la période coloniale. À partir d’une discussion sur les apports méthodologiques et théoriques de Nathan Wachtel à ce dossier, je propose d’aborder la fabrique des ancêtres comme un dispositif à part entière de la production de l’histoire et du territoire

« [Charles Quint] disait que s’il voulait parler aux Dames, il parlait Italien ; que s’il voulait parler aux hommes, il parlait Français ; que s'il voulait parler à son cheval, il parlait Allemand ; mais que s'il voulait parler à Dieu, il parlait Espagnol ».Dominique Bouhours, Les entretiens d’Ariste et d’Eugène, 1671.Il faut avoir l’esprit roman pour suivre sans s’égarer la trame polyglotte de ce superbe dossier des Mélanges de la Casa de Velázq…
Sovereign Bodies
The worship of dead Inca kings, because it aimed at preserving the deceased's bodily integrity, reveals constituent aspects of royal personhood. Underpinning these practices was the conception that the dead's agency was conveyed through corporeal substances, which therefore required constant acts of sustenance. This paper examines the bodily practices and material substances that shaped the king's physical person during his lifetime, as well as a…
Hanan y Hurin
Los relatos dinásticos incas transcritos después de la conquista española describen de manera contradictoria la partición social y espacial del Cuzco antiguo en mitades asimétricas (hanan/hurin). Dichos relatos no concuerdan sobre la identidad del soberano a la iniciativa de esta división, ni sobre los principios de clasificación que la fundan. La mayoría de los historiógrafos modernos atribuyen estas discrepancias narrativas a los actores coloni…
The Two Faces of Inca History
The historical narratives of the Inca dynasty, known to us through Spanish records, present several discrepancies that scholarship has long attributed to the biases and agendas of colonial actors. Drawing on a redefinition of royal descent and a comparative literary analysis of primary sources, this book restores the pre-Hispanic voices embedded in the chronicles. It identifies two distinctive bodies of Inca oral traditions, each of which enclose…
The Poetics and Dynamics of Cultural Encounter
The four books under review are all concerned, albeit in different ways, with the discourses that arose from the Spanish invasion of the Inca Empire, its aftermath, and the construction of the colo
The First New Chronicle and Good Government, abridged ‐ by Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala
Wonders of America
This essay examines the representation of the New World in cabinets of curiosities throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Despite the contrasting nature of these private collections and the varying degrees of access that European states had to such exotic objects, the characterization and assessment of the Americana displays a consistent similarity. It is argued here that the meaning of these items within the microcosm of the cabinet…
The Importance of Initiatory Ordeals
Among all the Inca sovereigns whose memory had been preserved by the Spanish chroniclers, Yahuar Huacac holds a unique position. He is famed for having shed tears of blood as a child when a foreign lord kidnapped and maltreated him. Surprisingly, his sufferings ended with matrimonial alliances binding the Inca and the main actors of this drama, all important figures of three foreign chiefdoms. Through both a historical and an anthropological appr…
