Andean Women in Religion: Beatas, ‘Decency’ and the Defence of Honour in Colonial Cuzco
In this essay, I will examine the making of a Christian indigenous elite in Cuzco through the history of a little-studied institution, the beaterio, and the practice of cloistered Catholic religious life by Cuzco’s beatas. The archival paper trail left by such communities of women in colonial Peru is hard to find, since beaterios on the whole were far less prosperous, solid institutions than their more prestigious counterparts, cloistered convent…

América colonial: Denominaciones, clasificaciones e identidades
This interesting volume examines the production of knowledge about colonial subjects, primarily those of the Chilean Andes. Taking inspiration from Michel Foucault, Ángel Rama, and Pierre Bourdieu, the authors treat categories that recur insistently in colonial records — for example, indio rebelde — as points of departure. What was at stake for those so identified? Who had the power to name or classify whom, and how did putative identities and pr…
Unfixing Race
Making Indigenous Archives: The Quilcaycamayoc of Colonial Cuzco
We are rapidly revising Angel Rama's concept of the "lettered city" (la ciudad letrada) to include indigenous writers and their texts. So far, however, Andeanists have focused mainly on those who wrote in Quechua or used quipu, a distinctively Andean form of record keeping. This article argues the importance of including indigenous writers who wrote in Spanish, particularly native Andean notaries (escribanos de cabildo). Viceroy Francisco de Tole…
Into the Archive: Writing and Power in Colonial Peru
Writing has long been linked to power. For early modern people on both sides of the Atlantic, writing was also the province of notaries, men trained to cast other people's words in official forms and make them legally true. Thus the first thing Columbus did on American shores in October 1492 was have a notary record his claim of territorial possession. It was the written, notarial word-backed by all the power of Castilian enforcement-that first c…
El "premio" de ser virrey: Los intereses públicos y privados del gobierno virreinal en el Perú de Felipe V
We do not have many histories of corruption, and for good reason. The term, freighted with judgment, begs the question of whose standards we use to gauge it. And sources are an obvious problem: how to write the history of practices and profits that were deliberately kept off the books? In this remarkable study, Alfredo Moreno Cebrían and Núria Sala i Vila attempt the seemingly impossible. They trace the fortunes of two eighteenth-century viceroys…
Dentro de la ciudad letrada: La producción de la escritura pública en el Perú colonial
El artículo examina la actuación de los notarios, quienes tenían el poder de registrar las palabras y acciones de la población en los protocolos oficiales. La autora indaga cómo los notarios llevaban adelante los procesos judiciales, a nombre de quiénes los hacían y explora los intereses en juego en los mismos
Notaries, Truth, and Consequences
WHEN CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS SET FOOT ON AMERICAN SOIL, he launched the Castilian language on a new phase of the imperial career that Antonio de Nebrija had foreshadowed in the first Castilian grammar (Gramatica de la lengua castellana, 1492): Language has always been the companion of empire.! Legal templates were an essential part of this enterprise. No sooner did the admiral go ashore in October 1492 on the island Guanahani in the language of the …

Beatas, “decencia” y poder: La formación de una elite indígena en el Cuzco colonial
Este ensayo intentará acercarnos al tema de la elite indígena y la identidad cristiana, a través de una institución y, así mismo, de una práctica católica femenina muy poco estudiadas: el fenómeno de las beatas y sus beaterios. Las pistas documentales de estas mujeres y casas religiosas son difíciles de encontrar, pues los beaterios pertenecían a un rango institucional más pobre e informal que el de los conventos y monasterios, que eran más prest…

Gender and the Politics of Mestizaje: The Convent of Santa Clara in Cuzco, Peru
When the city council of Cuzco met on April I7, I55I, its members, all battlehardened Spanish veterans, were enjoying a respite from seemingly endless rounds of war. Soon they would pick up their weapons and charge back into battle, for the fighting in the strategic center of the Inca heartland of Tawantinsuyo was far from over. But on April I7, the Spanish city fathers of Cuzco had other business on their minds. That day they decided to buy a pi…

Las primeras instituciones religiosas en el Perú se dedicaron no solamente a ganar corazones y las mentes de la gente andina, sino a desplazar su religión, asumiendo el control de sus centros rituales y sus recursos terrenales. Así tenemos, en el centro del antiguo imperio, el monasterio de Santo Domingo encima del templo máximo del Coricancha, en un "manifiesto" arquitectónico muy propio de la época
