  • Exploring How Things Take Shape Research Notes on Ethnography, Empirical Sensibility and the Baroque State
    Exploring How Things Take Shape Research Notes on Ethnography, Empirical Sensibility and the Baroque State. Penny Harvey - University of Manchester The Historical Baroque in Contemporary Peru - Illusion and Enthrallment The main square of Cusco was unusually busy and more unusual still the huge doors of the Cathedral were open, people pouring out from what must have been an important mass. Taking advantage of a rare opportunity to visit this building outside of the normal restrictions imposed by the tourist trade, I ducked in through a side entrance just as the main doors were slammed shut again. It was years since I‟d been inside and I‟d forgotten the sheer scale and intricacy of the space. The Cathedral over-awes as intended. Throughout the Continent these huge, ambitious spaces were of central importance in marking Spanish presence, in imposing Catholicism, in erasing the presence and influence of previous Gods and divine rulers, and paradoxically in offering people some kind of solace. This Cathedral was no exception. To build it the Spanish had destroyed an Inka palace/ceremonial site which nevertheless provided the foundations for the new building. They also brought stone from the fortress of Sacsayhuaman subjugating the very fabric of the Inka imperial capital in its public conversion to Catholicism. Construction had begun in 1560 but was not completed until 1664. The building itself presents the non-coherence of architectural style that is characteristic of many of these mega projects that took over a century to be finalised. In this case the Renaissance facade constrasts with the interior, funished over a century later, by then exemplifying the colonial Baroque with its intricate gold and silver altars, carved stone work and the world famous collection of paintings of what became known as the Cusco school.

  • Course Description Famous for the Inka Site of Machu Picchu, Peru
    University of South Dakota Faculty Led Program- Summer 2017 Peruvian Archaeology: The Inkas and their Ancestors (ANTH 490) Course Description Famous for the Inka site of Machu Picchu, Peru has a fascinating prehistory that goes deeper in time from the origins of animal and plant domestication to the development of early states like the Moche and the Wari. This course is a survey of the ancient cultures and main archaeological sites of the central Andes including Chavín de Huántar and its religious center, Nazca and its famous lines, Huacas de Moche and its hyper- realistic ceramics, Huari and Pikillaqta and their high walled compounds, Chan Chan and its adobe citadel, and Macchu Picchu and Sacsayhuaman and their fine stone architecture. Topics will include the origins of plant and animal domestication, ceremonial and domestic architecture, ritual and religion, and the formation of state and empires. While we will mainly discuss the material culture (architecture, ceramics, human and animal bones, stone tools) excavated from archaeological sites ethnohistoric and ethnographic sources (maps, manuscripts, drawings, folklore, oral traditions) will also be incorporated when appropriate. The course will also include guided visits to museums and archaeological sites in and nearby Lima. Learning outcomes After taking this course students should be familiar with the sites, chronology, and major debates of Peruvian archaeology and more specifically, they should be able to: Describe the ecological diversity and the adaptation of the diverse prehispanic cultures of Peru Explain the origins of agriculture, animal domestication, and social complexity- including states and empires that took place in Prehispanic Peru.

  • Of Priests and Pelicans: Religion in Northern Peru
    Of Priests and Pelicans: Religion in Northern Peru Kennedi Bloomquist I am standing in the far corner of the Plaza des Armas, excitement racing through my chest. Along the roads surrounding the plaza are long brilliant murals made of colorful flower petals lined with young school girls in bright red jumpsuits, their eyes following my every movement. A cool breeze whips around stirring the array of magenta, turquoise, royal purple, orange and various shades of green petals. 20 tall arches placed between the various flower murals are covered with bright yellow flowers (yellow symbolizes renewal and hope) spotted with white (white symbolizes reverence and virtue) and fuchsia (fuchsia symbolizes joy) roses. A stage has been erected in the street in front of the mustard yellow Trujillo Cathedral. In the center of the stage is an altar with a statue of Christ on the cross with an elaborate motif hanging on the back wall with angels carrying a large ornate crown. A band plays loud and wildly out of tune Christian salsa music to the side of the stage. A large golden sign reading Corpus Christi sits along the top of the building sidled up against the Cathedral. The feeling permeating throughout the square is carefree and peaceful. As I wander through the crowd, I cannot stop smiling at all the people dancing, shaking their hands to the sky. Some spin in circles, while others just clap their hands smiling towards the heavens. Next to me an older woman in a simple church outfit with a zebra print scarf holds a JHS (Jesus Hominum Savitore) sign in one hand and reaches for the sky with her other hand, shuffling back and forth.

  • Visitantes Del Museo De La Inquisición
    INTRODUCCIÓN El Museo del Congreso y de la Inquisición ofrece a sus usuarios, y al público interesado en general, las cifras estadísticas de sus actividades así como las referidas a la cantidad de visitantes asistentes a los museos y sitios arqueológicos de nuestro país. De esta forma buscamos facilitar el acceso a la información sobre uno de los aspectos más importantes de la realidad museística y que, en alguna forma, resume la relación entre el público y los museos. Algunos escritores, como Carlos Daniel Valcárcel, basándose en las referencias de los cronistas, sostienen que el antecedente más remoto de los museos peruanos lo encontraríamos en el Imperio de los Incas. “Según Molina el cuzqueño, al lado de la exposición de hechos memorables a base de quipus, manejados por expertos quipucamayos que tenían un específico lugar de preparación profesional, existió una especie de museo pictórico, casa que llama Pokencancha, donde estaba escrito mediante kilca «la vida de cada uno de los Incas y de las tierras que conquistó, pintado por sus figuras en unas tablas», con expresión de los orígenes del Tawantinsuyu, sus principales fábulas explicatorias y los hechos más importantes. Constituía el gran repositorio informativo imperial, el archivo por excelencia del pueblo incaico. Sarmiento cuenta que Pachacútec llamó a los «viejos historiadores de todas las provincias que sujetó» y a otros del reino, los mantuvo en el Cuzco y examinó acerca de la antigua historia. Y conocidos los sucesos más notables, «hízolo todo pintar por su orden en tablones grandes y deputó en las casas del sol una gran sala, adonde las tales tablas, que guarnecidas de oro estaban, estuviesen como nuestras librerías y constituyó doctores que supiesen entenderlas y declararlas.

  • By Mike Prero Most of You Will Not Be Surprised to Learn That, Since World War II, the United States Has Maintained More Foreign
    by Mike Prero Most of you will not be surprised to learn that, since World War II, the United States has maintained more foreign sites for its military forces than any other country in the world (you pay for them, after all!). But (and here‟s where your tax dollars really start paying dividends), lucky for us, many have produced their own special matchcovers. There have been hundreds of U.S. foreign military locations since World War II, from tiny Pacific islands that only geographers and military strategists have ever heard of to more recent sites, such as in Saudi Arabia...Naval bases, such as Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico, and Atsugi Naval Air Station, Japan; Air bases, such as Anderson Air Force Base, Guam, and Goose Air Base, Labrador; Army posts, such as U.S. Army Post Orleans, France, and Camp Alpha, Saigon, Vietnam. There are even overseas military recreational areas, such as Garmisch in Bavaria (Southern Germany). Many have since been closed, of course, as first one party‟s administration shrinks the Military and then the other party‟s administration builds the Military back up again. Thus, aside from the waning state of matchcovers in general, the output of matchcovers from such sites has fallen off drastically since “the good ol‟ days.” As is usually the case, however, there is still a goodly amount of these covers to be had. continued on p.3 Normally, one doesn‟t see them advertised as „foreign U.S. military bases‟ in auctions, simply because sellers don‟t bother to break them down into that category.
