The Essence of the Inka: An Interdisciplinary Investigation of the Saqsawaman Landscape

Anspach, Justin Alan January 2016 (has links)
This dissertation presents an interdisciplinary research project studying Inka engagement with the heavily modified ritual landscape of the 3000 hectare Saqsawaman Archaeological Park, located just north of the former imperial capital of Cuzco. First, through a close reading of cosmogenesis narratives, and a careful application of ethnographic comparison, I examine the nature of actors and agency in Andean and Inka thought and practice. Specifically, I bring up five themes - vitality, communication, identity, complementarity, and positioning - that are prevalent in Andean cosmology and that were therefore capitalized on in the built landscapes of the Inka. While prior research has focused on Inka stonework, I argue that it is the combination of stone with other elements - most notably water and the subterranean - that allows the most symbolically powerful deployment of landscape in epistemology and cosmology. This argument is supported by an archaeological examination that uses survey and GIS techniques to map the Inka efforts at landscape manipulation in Saqsawaman. The results show that the Inka focused their efforts on areas where a combination of stone and water, along with subterranean access and viewsheds of sacred landscape, allowed for a more symbolically rich engagement with their universe. The ethnographic research and the survey together show that while stone was an important and enduring element in Andean belief systems, it is actually water which was the most important element of the ritual practice that sustained the cosmological universe. As a result, administrative focus on bounded stone sites has allowed elements such as water, as well as areas outside these boundaries, to be designated as unimportant - a process that has led to the loss of a great deal of knowledge and understanding grounded in a more comprehensive view of the larger landscape.

La organización del espacio como estrategia de poder. El Tawantinsuyu en la región del Despoblado de Atacama.

Sanhueza Tohá, Cecilia January 2004 (has links)
Tesis para optar al grado de Magíster en Historia mención Etnohistoria. / El presente trabajo de investigación se sitúa en el territorio históricamente conocido y denominado como el Despoblado de Atacama. Desde las primeras crónicas y documentación colonial, el llamado “Despoblado de Atacama” o el “Gran Despoblado”, fue definido como el territorio más árido, inhóspito, hostil e inhabitable de toda la región desértica del actual norte chileno. Diferenciándolo de los oasis y valles de las zonas de San Pedro de Atacama y de Copiapó, ubicadas en sus extremos, convencionalmente se lo señaló desde el siglo XVI, como el área que se extendía entre el sur del Salar de Atacama (aproximadamente desde la localidad de Peine) y el inicio de los valles del río Copiapó, abarcando prácticamente todo el espacio comprendido desde la costa hasta los faldeos y borde puneño de la cordillera de los Andes.

Política e religião no Tahuantinsuyu Inca: evidências das relações centro x periferia de Cusco na cerâmica arqueológica da costa norte peruana / Politics and religion in the Inca Tahuantinsuyu: evidences of center vs periphery relations in Cuzco archaeological ceramics of the Peruvian North Coast

Figueiredo, Marcio Luís Baúso de 20 February 2014 (has links)
Este trabalho buscou analisar a iconografia e morfologia da cerâmica ritual produzida na Costa Norte peruana durante o Período Intermediário Tardio e o Horizonte Tardio, com o objetivo de identificar personagens aqui denominados \"figuras de poder\". O corpus da análise incluiu coleções pertencentes a diversas instituições museológicas brasileiras e estrangeiras. Os primeiros contatos com as coleções arqueológicas e as classificações usualmente adotadas nos museus com base nos referenciais teóricos histórico culturalistas evidenciaram uma aparente ruptura na produção cerâmica no Período Tardio, com o advento da hegemonia Incaica. No século XV a cerâmica produzida nos Andes apresenta um relativo declínio de artefatos que expressam a simbologia dos cultos ancestrais vinculada às representações do poder político, quando comparada aos períodos anteriores. Tomando como referência estudos aprofundados da história política dos domínios Chimú e Inca nos Andes Centrais, bem como a correlação dos artefatos cerâmicos estudados, buscamos entender como as mudanças observadas na composição e iconografia dos conjuntos cerâmicos observados está correlacionada com a organização das estruturas de poder respaldadas na cosmovisão de seus respectivos contextos políticos de produção. A redução do número de figuras de poder representadas na cerâmica produzida sob a égide do domínio Inca na Costa Norte, bem como a permanência de certos atributos identificados como expressão das particularidades da cosmovisão dos povos daquela região, sugerem que os Incas enfrentaram a necessidade de criar ferramentas de legitimação do poder centralizado em Cusco, diante do extenso território subjugado. / This study sought to analyze the iconography and morphology of ritual pottery produced in the Peruvian North Coast during the Late Intermediate Period and the Late Horizon, with the goal of identifying characters here referred to as \"figures of power.\" The body of the analysis included collections of several Brazilian and foreign institutions. The first contacts with the archaeological collections and classifications usually adopted in the museums based on theoretical historical-cultural references showed an apparent rupture in ceramic production in the Late Period, with the advent of Inca hegemony. In the 15th century, the ceramics produced in the Andes presents a relative decline of artifacts that express the symbolism of ancient cults linked to representations of political power, when compared to prior periods. We seek to understand how the observed changes in the composition and iconography of ceramic sets observed is correlated with the organization of power structures supported on worldview of their respective political contexts of production. We based on deep studies of the political history of the Chimú and Inca domains in the Central Andes and the correlation of the studied ceramic artifacts. We noted the reduction in the number of power figures represented on pottery produced under the aegis of Inca rule on the North Coast, in addition to the permanence of certain attributes identified as an expression of the particularities of the worldview of people from that region. Those suggest that the Incas have faced the need to create tools of legitimation of the centralized power of Cusco, in the face of the extended subjugated territory.

Arqueologia andina no Vale de Lambayeque: um estudo dos contextos cerimoniais, variabilidade cerâmica e estilos arquitetônicos das ocupações do Período Tardio / Andean Archeology in the Lambayeque Valley: A Study of Ceremonial Contexts, Ceramic Variabilitty, and Architectural Styles of Late Period Occupations

Figueiredo, Marcio Luís Baúso de 24 January 2019 (has links)
Esta pesquisa propõe um estudo dos artefatos provenientes de contextos funerários e rituais relacionados ao período de hegemonia Chimú-Inca na costa norte peruana, nos Andes Centrais, especificamente da região de Lambayeque. Partindo de uma análise sistemática da iconografia de objetos de cerâmica ritual atribuída aos períodos Intermediário Tardio e Horizonte Tardio, este estudo tem por objetivo uma comparação de artefatos pertencentes a algumas coleções de museus, com exemplares e outros dados recuperados de escavações arqueológicas realizadas em contextos controlados nas últimas décadas. Busca diagnosticar e entender as variações estilísticas dos conjuntos cerâmicos em termos de sua morfologia e iconografia. Desta perspectiva, busca contribuir para a discussão sobre a cronologia relativa adotada para a região de Lambayeque. Além da cerâmica, incluímos em nosso estudo o contexto de remodelações arquitetônicas da região, buscando compreender o nível de interação expresso nos estilos da arquitetura cerimonial entre lambayeques, chimús e incas. De forma crítica, esta pretende relacionar os dados arqueológicos com as informações registradas nos documentos históricos do período colonial relativos a história política da área pesquisada. O conteúdo das narrativas sugere constante tensão entre as elites do poder da Costa Norte frente a ideologia estatal cusqueña, enfatizada no culto oficial da divindade solar. Assim, o estudo dos processos de produção, circulação e deposição de artefatos de utilidade ritual, discutidos a partir dos referencias teóricos dos encontros coloniais e das diversas conceitualizações de estilos em Arqueologia permitirá aprofundar o conhecimento sobre tais processos de interações sócioculturais entre as elites lambayecanas e cusqueñas, durante o apogeu incaico nos Andes Centrais. / This research proposes a study of the artifacts from funerary contexts and rituals related to the period of Chimú-Inca hegemony in the Peruvian north coast, in the central Andes, specifically the region of Lambayeque. Starting from systematic analysis of the iconography of ritual ceramic objects attributed to late intermediate and late horizon periods, this study aims to compare artifacts belonging to some museum collections, with copies and other data recovered from archaeological excavations carried out in controlled contexts in recent decades. It seeks to diagnose and understand the stylistic variations of ceramic clusters in terms of their morphology and iconography. From this perspective, it looks to contribute to the discussion about the relative chronology adopted for the Lambayeque region. In addition to ceramics, we have included in our study the context of architectural remodeling\'s of the region, with the objective to understand the level of interaction expressed in the ceremonial architecture between Lambayeques, Chimús and Incas. With criticism, it intends to relate the archaeological data with the information of the political history of the area recorded in the historical documents of the colonial period. The content of the narratives suggests constant tension between the elites of the power of the north coast against the state ideology Cusco, emphasized in the official cult of the solar deity. Therefore, the study of the production processes, circulation and deposition of ritual utility artifacts, discussed from the theoretical references of the colonial encounters and various conceptualizations of styles in archaeology, will allow to deepen the knowledge about such processes of socio-cultural interactions between the elites, lambayeques and cusqueñas, during the Incaic apogee in the central Andes.

Acllas y personajes emplumados en la iconografía alfarera Inca : una aproximación a la ritualidad prehispánica andina

Barraza Lescano, Sergio Alfredo 26 March 2013 (has links)
La presente investigación se encuentra focalizada en el estudio de dos tipos de diseños iconográficos pertenecientes al subestilo alfarero inca Cuzco Policromo Figurado (Rowe 1944): los personajes femeninos con toca cefálica (PFTC) y los personajes masculinos emplumados (PME). Tras introducir al lector dentro de la problemática del estilo figurativo incaico, caracterizándolo tanto espacial como cronológicamente, es desarrollado el análisis de ambas modalidades de diseños. Si bien la aproximación empleada sigue en gran medida el método iconológico propuesto por Erwin Panofsky (1955) para el estudio de obras de arte, difiere de éste al recurrir a la información contextual de las materiales incorporándola como un importante referente interpretativo. La revisión de referencias etnohistóricas y etnográficas, por consiguiente, se ve complementada con datos contextuales que facilitan el reconocimiento de la identidad social de los personajes representados iconográficamente y la naturaleza de las acciones ejecutadas por éstos. De ese modo se logra identificar la representación de acllaconas (femeninos y masculinos) ejecutando diversos ritos, entre los que se incluyen prácticas de culto ancestral y la producción ritualizada de bienes. En la última parte de la tesis se evalúan tres puntos críticos en la investigación: a) la participación de los especialistas religiosos en la producción de cerámica inca con iconografía figurativa (modelo acllacona-artesano); b) el rol cumplido por este tipo de representaciones en el contexto de uso en que era exhibida; y, por último, c) la suerte experimentada por estos diseños una vez ocurrida la conquista española e iniciada la evangelización católica. / Tesis

Etude comparée de la divination par l'extispicine à l'époque paléo-babylonienne à Mari et à l'époque Inca / Comparative study of divination by extispicine in the Paleo-Babylonian period at Mari and the Inca period

Duponchel, David 11 September 2018 (has links)
Le choix de l’extispicine, technique divinatoire présente dans les sociétés andine et mésopotamienne pour cette étude comparée à long terme, s’inscrit dans un renouveau historiographique et une démarche interdisciplinaire. La divination en général, fait social total selon Marcel Mauss, permet d’observer les sociétés de manière transversale et de mettre en oeuvre un comparatisme au-delà de la thématique abordée. La divination et l’extispicine concernent aussi bien les affaires palatiales que ce soit au niveau militaire, religieux ou économique, que les affaires du simple particulier entreprenant un voyage ou désireux de découvrir la cause de sa maladie. Les sources andines sont peu nombreuses concernant la divination incaïque. L’abondance de la documentation de Mari permet néanmoins d’interroger l’historiographie andine et d’émettre des hypothèses sur le fonctionnement de la divination et de la technique de l’extispicine, et, réciproquement les rares mentions de l’extispicine andine dans les chroniques espagnoles et la survivance d’une extispicine contemporaine au Pérou ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives d’études concernant la divination à Mari. La comparaison de l’émission du pronostic du devin bârûm et du Callparicuc nous questionne sur la notion même de « lecture ». Même si l’on constate l’observation de marques sur les organes par le devin, l’extispicine andine ne semble pas entretenir de rapport direct avec l’écriture, alors que celles-ci évoluent de manière complémentaire en Mésopotamie. Les paradigmes binaires servant à établir le pronostic du devin dans les deux extispicines présentent de nombreuses similitudes et révèlent la présence de valeurs communes aux deux sociétés. Cette étude s’inscrit donc dans une nouvelle mise en perspective des deux historiographies et souhaite ouvrir la voie à d’autres travaux afin d’instaurer un réel dialogue entre ces deux mondes en y incluant ce que Tzvetan Todorov appelait la question de l’Autre. / The choice of extispicy, a divinatory technique present in Mesopotamian and Andean societies, for this long-term comparative study, involves a historiographical renewal and an interdisciplinary approach.Divination in general, a total social fact according to Marcel Mauss, allows to observe societes in a transversal manner and to apply comparatism beyond the subject matter. Divination and extispicy concern palace affairs, at a military, religious or economic level, as well as the affairs of a simple individual preparing to travel or wanting to discover the cause of his or her illness.There are very few Andean sources regarding Inca divination. However, the abundant documentation of Mari allows to question Andean historiography and to speculate on how divination and the technique of extispicy worked. Conversely, rare mentions of Andean extispicy in Spanish chronicles and the survival of a contemporary extispicy in Peru open new perspectives for Mari’s studies on divination.The comparison of the bârûm diviner’s prognosis and the Callparicuc raises questions on the meaning of “reading”. Although we notice that the diviner observes marks on the organs, Andean extispicy does not seem to be directly related to writing. However, these two evolve in a complementary manner in Mesopotamia.Binary paradigms that help to establish the diviner’s prognosis in both extispicies show many similarities and reveal common values in these two societies.This study is consistent with a new perspective regarding both historiographies and seeks to pave the way for other works, to create a real dialogue between these two worlds, including what Tzvetan Todorov calls the question of the Other.

Advenedizos y traspuestos: los mitmaquna o mitimaes de Vilcashuamán en su tránsito de los tiempos del Inka al de los "Señores de los mares"

Salas, Miriam 10 April 2018 (has links)
Interlopers and Transplantees: The Mitmaqkuna or Mitimaes of Vilcashuamán in their Transition from the Time of the Inka to the "Lords of the Seas"This article aims to present how the first contact between the spaniards and the people of Vilcashuaman, their subjugation under the hispanic and their rebellion against the colonial system installed by them, came to happen. Also, their andean roots, their past as mitmaqkuna, the persistence of their customs and beliefs, and how the presence of the Inka of Vilcabamba and the Taky Onqoy awoke in them their ancestral conscience, leading them to resist and finally survive, despite the terrible living conditions they suffered. / En este artículo se presenta la forma cómo se produjo el primer contacto entre los españoles y los habitantes de Vilcashuamán, su sometimiento por los hispanos y su rebeldía frente al sistema colonial implantado por ellos. Así también, sus raíces andinas, su pasado de mitmaqkuna, la persistencia de sus costumbres y creencias, y cómo la presencia del Inka de Vilcabamba y el movimiento del Taky Onqoy despertaron en ellos su antigua conciencia, que los llevó a resistir y finalmente a pervivir pese a las terribles condiciones de vida a las que fueron sometidos.

Entre un "Caso historial de grande admiración" y un relato ficcional: el episodio de Pedro Serrano como alegoría de la conquista en los Comentarios Reales del Inca Garcilaso

López Salas, Andrea Vanesa 27 June 2017 (has links)
La presente investigación analiza el episodio correspondiente al relato del naufragio y las peripecias de Pedro Serrano, el cual se encuentra ubicado en el capítulo VIII del Libro I, de la primera parte de los Comentarios Reales (1609) del Inca Garcilaso. En este estudio se propone que el episodio de Pedro Serrano se inserta dentro del discurso del Inca Garcilaso para responder a los siguientes objetivos específicos. En primer lugar, para realizar una inversión de la categoría de lo salvaje; en segundo lugar, para representar una alegoría del encuentro entre conquistadores y americanos y; finalmente, para proponer una alternativa de conciliación posible entre ambos mundos, el europeo y el americano. Se comienza indagando una aproximación metodológica para el estudio de este episodio donde se recoge el debate en torno a la naturaleza histórica y literaria del mismo. A continuación, se analiza el contexto en que se enmarca el episodio y se establece su clasificación como fábula historial. La definición de este concepto se fundamenta en la influencia neoplatónica que recibe el Inca, principalmente, por el poeta judío Judá Abravanel y por Marsilio Ficino; asimismo, se teoriza este concepto según lo planteado por Carmela Zanelli sobre las propuestas de Efraín Kristal. Finalmente, se analizan los múltiples niveles de significación contenidos en el episodio de Pedro Serrano, examinando los elementos que componen las distintas metáforas presentes en la fábula historial con la finalidad de desentrañar la verdad teologal que contiene. / Tesis
