La política imperial y la historia en el cristianismo africano (s. III-V) García Mac Gaw, Carlos Christianity Persecutions Roman Empire Martyrdom Donatism cristianismo persecuciones Imperio Romano martirio donatismo The aim of this paper will be to analyze some of the effects of the Roman policies over the churches of North Africa between the 3rd and 5th centuries. The outcomes of repressive actions, as well as the consequences that the state intervention had on Christian communities and on their power structures will be especially examined, considering the actions taken during the periods of persecutions led by Decius, Diocletian and Constantine (even though this last emperor had promoted an edict of religious freedom shortly before his rise to power). In the case of North Africa, the consequences that for the Christian community had its change from being a persecuted group to an ally of the state were particularly significant, as well as the emperor´s intervention in its internal disputes that led to the Donatist schism. Particularly, we will study the power conflicts resulting from the emergence of groups that competed to control the ecclesiastical institution, as well as the persistence of a collective memory and the discursive practices that sustained it. Observaremos en estas páginas algunos efectos de la acción política del estado romano sobre las iglesias del norte africano entre los siglos III y V de nuestra era. Se analiza especialmente el resultado de la represión y las consecuencias de las intervenciones del Estado en las comunidades cristianas en relación con sus estructuras de poder. Nos detendremos en las situaciones producidas por la intervención estatal en el periodo de las persecuciones de Decio y Diocleciano y luego las de Constantino, aún cuando este emperador había impulsado poco antes un edicto de libertad religiosa. Para el caso del norte del África resultan de particular interés las derivaciones que tuvo para la comunidad cristiana el cambio de grupo perseguido a aliado del estado y la intervención del emperador en las disputas internas de los cristianos que derivaron en el cisma donatista. En especial, se estudian los conflictos de poder resultado del surgimiento de grupos que compitieron por el control de la institución, así como la persistencia de la memoria colectiva y las prácticas discursivas sobre las cuales esta se sostuvo.
