Persistencia de la cosmovisión y la concepción espacial indígenas en imágenes andinas de la religiosidad cristiana: una descripción de tres objetos culturales de los siglos XVII y XVIII en Perú

Abstract

This dissertation involves an analysis of three Colonial Peruvian texts to argue that the religious images as treated in Guaman Poma de Ayala's Primer nueva corónica y buen gobierno ; Juan de Espinosa Medrano's drama El hijo pródigo; and a well-known painting La Virgen del Cerro, reveal the persistence or presence of an Indian worldview; that the Indigenous signs and Inca's distribution of the space have a continued presence within the Andean-Christian religious vision. This work is anchored in a semiotic analysis of theater and painting; in the perspective of cultural hibridity advanced in the work of García Canclini, Gruzinski and Moraña and in the postcolonial perspective of Mignolo and Quijano.
