I28-R145-1964_oai2025-11-17 Cruz, Pablo 2015-12-22 This article deals with a little-known 17th century map of the south of Charcas. Found in the National Library of France, this map was the object of study in a short article by the French ethnohistorian Thierry Saignes in 1985. Here, while articulating the information found in the map with historical sources and recent archaeological data, we reveal the general meaning of the document and explore two themes that are prominent in the document and directly related: Mining and indigenous mountain cults, both principal sites of power struggles and survival in the Andes after the arrival of the Spanish. Analysis of the document reveals that it was a detailed and precise ecclesiastical cartography of a portion of the Archbishopric of Charcas, with the city of La Plata and its orbit of influence conforming its principal focus. Este trabajo trata sobre un mapa poco conocido del siglo XVII que representa el sur de Charcas. El mismo se encuentra depositado en la Biblioteca Nacional de Francia y fue objeto de un resumido artículo por parte del etnohistoriador francés Thierry Saignes en 1985. Articulando las informaciones brindadas en el documento con fuentes documentales de la época y recientes datos arqueológicos se tratará aquí de vislumbrar el sentido general del documento y explorar dos temas que se destacan en el mismo y que se encuentran estrechamente vinculados entre sí: la minería y los cultos indígenas a las montañas, ambos escenarios principales en las pugnas de poder y supervivencia que tuvieron lugar en esta parte de los Andes a partir de la llegada de los españoles. Del análisis del documento se discurre que se trata de una detallada y precisa cartografía eclesiástica de una porción del Arzobispado de Charcas, cuyo foco fue puesto en la ciudad de La Plata y su órbita de influencia. Ce travail traite d’une carte du XVII siècle peu connue, qui représente le sud de Charcas. Déposée aux archives de la Bibliothèque Nationale de France, cette carte fut l’objet en 1985 d’un article bref de l’ethno-historien français Thierry Saignes. Articulant les informations provenant de sources documentaires de l’époque et de données archéologiques récentes, nous essayerons ici de comprendre le sens général du document et d’explorer deux thèmes qui se déduisent de celui-ci: les mines et les cultes indigènes des montagnes, qui constituent les deux scènes principales de luttes pour le pouvoir et pour la survie qui ont eu cours dans cette partie des Andes à partir de l’arrivée des Espagnols. De l’analyse du document on déduit qu’il s’agit d’une carte ecclésiastique détaillée et précise d’un secteur de l’archevêché de Charcas focalisée dans la ville de La Plata et son orbite d’influence. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/esnoa/article/view/1964 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/esnoa/article/view/1964/1808 Estudios Sociales del NOA; Núm. 15 (2015); 5-32 2362-2482 0329-8256 Charcas Archbishopric of Charcas Andean mines sacred mountains Charcas Archevêché de Charcas mines andines montagnes sacralisées Charcas Azobispado de Charcas minas andinas cerros sacralizados Chorographic Reflections on a Seventeenth-Century Map from southern Charcas Reflexiones corográficas a partir de un mapa del siglo XVII del sur de Charcas Réflexión chorographiques à partir d'une carte du sud de Charcas du XVII siècle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=estusoc&d=1964_oai |
