Resumen
En este capítulo, considero la conversión religiosa de los indios como objetivo principal de la evangelización católica durante los primeros dos siglos de la Colonia en Huarochirí (sierra de Lima). Demuestro cómo estas actividades eran «presentaciones formales» dirigidas a la conversión del espacio y, por lo tanto, a la conversión del pasado andino (además de la conversión de la gente indígena misma). Debido a su manuscrito quechua de carácter único, Huarochirí ha sido un epicentro tanto del estudio de la evangelización como de la reconstrucción de la cultura e historia prehispánica y colonial. Sin embargo, la prevalencia de estudios etnohistóricos y la falta de investigaciones arqueológicas sistemáticas en el eje central de la composición del manuscrito han impedido una comprensión más profunda de la prehistoria de Huarochirí y sus modos de historicidad asociados. Aquí, se combina historia con arqueología sistemática recientemente hecha en Huarochirí para permitir una visión de ciertas características culturales del entendimiento, codificación y comunicación del pasado, tanto en el registro arqueológico como en el contenido del mismo manuscrito. Las evidencias presentadas desafían la reconstrucción (etno) histórica prevalente del pasado huarochirano, lo que demuestra cómo el contenido y el mismo concepto de la historia fueron convertidos cuando las secuencias narrativas fueron interpretadas como secuencias históricas, lo cual ha ofuscado formas culturalmente distintas de entender, codificar y comunicar el pasado en los Andes indígenas. Datos históricos y arqueológicos adicionales proveen vistas de una «historicidad andina».
In this chapter I consider the religious conversion of Indian populations as the primary objective of Catholic evangelization during the first two centuries of the Spanish colonial period in Huarochirí (in the highlands east of Lima). I demonstrate how these activities were performative acts aimed at the conversion of space, which had implications for the conversion of the Andean past. Due to its unique Quechua manuscript, Huarochirí has been an epicenter both for studies of evangelization and for the reconstruction of the culture and history of the prehispanic and colonial indigenous world. However, the prevalence of ethnohistoric studies and the lack of systematic archaeology in the central axis of the manuscript’s composition has hindered deeper understandings of Huarochirí’s past and the different historicities employed in its reconstruction. Here history is combined with recent systematic archaeological research to provide a view of the different ways the past was understood, codified, and communicated in Huarochirí’s past–evident both in the material record and in the contents of the manuscript itself. The evidence presented challenges the prevalent ethnohistorical reconstruction of Huarochirí’s prehistory, demonstrating how both the contents and the very concept of history were converted as narrative sequences were conflated with historical sequences, obscuring culturally distinct forms of understanding, codifying, and communicating the past in the indigenous Andes. Additional archaeological and historical data provide a glimpse of an «Andean historicity».
