This work analyzes the armed struggle in the territory of the Audiencia de Charcas during the war of Independence with the system of divisions, an organization carried out by Juan Antonio Álvarez de Arenales, who ordered and coordinated the actions of different guerrilla groups under the umbrella conferred by the titles granted by the authorities of the United Provinces of Río de la Plata. It describes the structure that was implemented, the operation, the leaders and the troops that were part of that organization.

Study of some journalistic chronicles (1924-1929) by César Vallejo that, after some substantive modifications, end up turning into poetic prose. Certainly, there is a sort of communicating vessel between the chronicle and the literary story. The same topic and incident are addressed, and while in one case journalistic information prevails, in the other the verbal expression is modified and subjected to the demands of the literary story. This study also adds the analysis of two poetic prose texts that have no precedent in journalistic articles. As will be seen, it is a search process in which the poet and narrator defines his style, his prose and his ideological ideology.

As part of the celebrations of 1921-1924, the government of President Leguía called the Contest for the Centennial of the Battle of Ayacucho in the areas of poetry and novels. Tiempos de la patria vieja. Novela histórica by Angélica Palma (Lima, 1878-1935) and Por la estirpe. Novela colonial by José Félix de la Puente (Trujillo, 1882-1959) were the winners. Paying attention to the narration of certain events, characters and especially the love plot, in this paper, I analyze the discursive representations of the independence process built by both novels after the first hundred years of the declaration of the Peruvian independence. I am interested in showing how, contrary to the official history, these novels give an account of the memory of the independence as a painful and torn civil war.

Traditionally, the historiography of the independence of Peru has focused on the peoples’ desire (or lack thereof) of breaking free from the Spanish crown. Despite recent efforts to transcend dichotomous interpretations, there are still few studies that analyze why the people decided to participate in the war, regardless of the side they took. This article explores their motivation for participating in the war by analyzing the background of the social mobilization prior to the war, as well as the characteristics of guerrilla organization in rural Peru during the war of independence. By focusing on how people lived and experienced the war, this article demonstrates that guerrillas constituted a specific form of popular political participation, which were decisive in the definition of the war because they represented the emergence of autonomous local and regional powers within the vice regal space.

This work presents the edited conversation of the symposium “Efímero: Early Modern News-Sheets and Pamphlets in the Hispanic World,” held virtually at Stony Brook University in March 2021 with specialists from Europe and the Americas. The text presents new research, methods, bibliography, and projects on sixteenth to eighteenth century printed news, with focus on the transatlantic circulation between Spain and Peru. Specifically, it discusses news networks, the editorial market in Lima (1700-1711), engravings and theater pamphlets related to relaciones de sucesos, censorship, and the circulation of ephemera.

The objective of this article is to make visible the militarized popular sectors in the political arena of the city of Tucumán, in the Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata, Argentina. It focuses on the popular mobilization produced in 1815 that confronted two political groups. From the analysis of this case, it can be said that the political participation of popular sectors in political contests was earlier than the one reported in the local historiography, besides previous experiences of militarization in Tucuman are collected. The appeal to the rural popular sectors with the principle of popular sovereignty allowed the group led by the “revolutionary governor” to legitimize its position with respect to the “traditional” representation of the cabildo.

The objective of this article is to analyze the participation and mobilization of the popular sectors, the vast majority of which were part of both patriotic and royalist troops in the revolutionary war within the southern-Andean space. From the study of different cases, the aim is to understand the experiences of the war and the degree of identification of these sectors with the political causes at stake during that process. Thus, the reasons why the members of both troops or the summoned militias fought is questioned, as well as the political concepts used in their speeches to identify themselves with the struggle in favor of a given cause and the fees requested to remain in the military corps.

The Peruvian political transition of 1956 allowed senators like Raúl Porras Barrenechea to give more importance to the function of political representation than to other parliamentarian’s functions, such as political control, legislative issues and deliberation. The explanation for this preference lies in the need to democratize a society that during the previous government of Manuel A. Odría −the authoritarian period of eight years− had interrupted the mediation between parliament and society, and instead had generated patron-client relations between a depoliticized population and the leader in charge of the Executive Power. Hence, privileging the function of representation meant contributing to the promotion of citizenship and the channeling of demands through Parliament.

The article traces the origins of the debate from a select group of English and Irish legionaries, especially Sir Belford Hinton Wilson and General William Miller, who served under San Martín and Bolívar. It also reveals the divergent opinions held about both characters by their English and Irish supporters, which reflect the opinions and prejudices of Spanish-American generals, ideologues and politicians of the independence era, which is maintained to this day when comparing the contrasts between the figure and work of the two great liberators.
