The conception of man among the IncasLa concepción de hombre entre los incasHernández Astete, FranciscoalmacuerpoAndesincassoulbodyAndesincasThe notion that pre-conquest Andean people believed that they were composed of a body and a soul – and that the soul was what distinguished them from other beings – has been widely accepted since the sixteenth century. This article disputes this idea and establishes the basis for a more accurate understanding of the Andean conception of humanity. The misunderstanding of Andean conceptions began with the Àrst western informants on the Andean world. These Christians, born in Europe at the end of the fifteenth century, themselves believed that all humans were composed of body and soul. Having concluded that Andean people had rational souls and hence did not belong to the monstrous races of the western imagination, Spanish evangelists initiated a campaign of evangelization designed to save American souls. Their preparation of Andean people for Christian salvation included a long process of “introducing” aboriginal souls.La idea de que los pobladores andinos anteriores a la presencia española creyeron que estaban compuestos por un cuerpo y un alma, y que esta última era la que los diferenciaba de los demás seres, se asume casi sin mayores cuestionamientos desde el siglo XVI, pues, de hecho, para los primeros informantes sobre el mundo andino —quienes habían nacido en la Europa cristiana de Ànales del siglo xv—, todos los hombres estaban compuestos por un cuerpo y un alma. Por esto, al «reconocer» que los hombres andinos tenían alma racional y, por lo tanto, no pertenecían a las razas monstruosas existentes en el imaginario colectivo de la época, iniciaron una campaña de evangelización destinada a salvar las almas de los habitantes de América. Es así como se inició un largo proceso de introducción» del alma por parte de los evangelizadores españoles, pues era imprescindible que los indígenas poseyeran almas racionales, de manera que pudieran participar del proyecto salvífico del cristianismo. En este artículo se cuestiona esta idea y se sientan las bases para estudiar la concepción andina de hombre.Universidad Católica San Pablo2010-06-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiondossierapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ucsp.edu.pe/index.php/Allpanchis/article/view/41410.36901/allpanchis.v41i75.414Allpanchis; Vol. 41 Núm. 75 (2010): En torno a los actores sociales: Entre el Incanato y la Conquista; 33-57Allpanchis; Vol. 41 No. 75 (2010): Around social actors: Between the Inca and the Conquest; 33-572708-89600252-883510.36901/allpanchis.v41i75reponame:Revistas - Universidad Católica San Pabloinstname:Universidad Católica San Pabloinstacron:UCSPspahttps://revistas.ucsp.edu.pe/index.php/Allpanchis/article/view/414/418Derechos de autor 2010 Francisco Hernández Astete https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistas.ucsp.edu.pe:article/4142022-05-25T12:43:11Z |
