Received: 30 October 2019; Accepted: 2 December 2019; Published: 10 December 2019 Abstract: Lima has become the first Peruvian megacity with more than 10 million people, resulting from the migration waves from the countryside throughout the 20th century, which have also contributed to the diverse ethnic background of today’s city. The paper analyzes two neighborhoods located in the inter-district area of Northern Lima: Pampa de Cueva and El Ermitaño as paradigmatic cases of the city’s expansion through non-formal settlements during the 1960s. They represent a relevant case study because of their complex urbanization process, the presence of pre-Hispanic heritage, their location in vulnerable hillside areas in the fringe with a protected natural landscape, and their potential for sustainable local economic development. The article traces back the consolidation process of these self-built neighborhoods or barriadas within the context of Northern Lima as a new centrality for the metropolitan area.

  • Alienation in the Andes: Labor and Cultural Disenfranchisement in Colonial Peru, 1570-1640
    Alienation in the Andes: Labor and Cultural Disenfranchisement in Colonial Peru, 1570-1640 By Dexter James Zavalza Hough-Snee A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures and the Designated Emphasis in Renaissance and Early Modern Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Ivonne del Valle, Chair Professor Emilie Bergmann Professor Todd Olson Fall 2017 Alienation in the Andes: Labor and Cultural Disenfranchisement in Colonial Peru, 1570-1640 © 2017 Dexter James Zavalza Hough-Snee 1 Abstract Alienation in the Andes: Labor and Cultural Disenfranchisement in Colonial Peru, 1570-1640 by Dexter James Zavalza Hough-Snee Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures and the Designated Emphasis in Renaissance and Early Modern Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Ivonne del Valle, Chair This dissertation locates a pre-history of modern material alienations in colonial Spanish America. Alienation is often understood as a modern phenomenon, the byproduct of exploitation under industrial labor or the crisis of the individual in the face of the strictures of modern society. Colonial actors, however, sensed, internalized, and expressed an understanding of and frustration with their material marginalization in the face of an ever-intensifying colonial economy that rewarded the landowning benefactor class at the expense of the diverse residents of the colonial world. Focusing on the literature, visual culture, and hagiography of mid-colonial Peru, these alienations appear and reappear in varying discourses of isolation, marginalization, and outsideness (enajenación in early modern Spanish) extending to indigenous, Spanish, and Afroperuvian subjects.

  • The Highlights of Peru September 2 – 14, 2021
    The Highlights of Peru Machu Picchu – Cuzco -Amazon forest – Lake Titicaca C September 2 – 14, 2021 Cuzco ● Machu Picchu ● Sacred Valley ● Temple of the Sun ● Sacsayhuaman ● Lake Titicaca ● Floating Islands of the Urus Indians ● Lima ● Ollantaytambo ● Pisaq ● Andahuaylillas ● Koricancha Temple ● Raqchi ● Wiracocha Temple (“God the Creator” temple) ____________________________________________________________________________ This Columbus Travel tour is a unique experience. In addition to visits to expected sites, such as Cuzco and Machu Picchu, our tour will take us to off-the-beaten track places, and immerse ourselves in the world of the Incas. We visit historic cultural sites, temples and archaeological remains that see few outsiders. We visit UNESCO World heritage sites, such us the Church of San Pedro Apostle, called the Sistine Chapel of South America for its paintings that cover the ceilings, then on to Raqchi and Temple of Wiracocha, a site rarely seen by foreign visitors. Wiracocha, “God the Creator”, was the white deity to the Inca natives. This massive temple was built to honor their God of Creation. Nearby Raqchi, the temple is one of the largest Inca archaeological sites in the valley. We continue to Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world and the floating islands of the Urus Indians. Of course, no journey to the empire of the Incas would be complete without a visit to Cuzco and Machu Picchu. Cuzco is nestled high in the Andes Mountains. It is a UNESCO World heritage site. It was the former capital of the Inca Empire Cuzco still retains its indigenous and colonial heritage and architecture. Machu Picchu, the ancient Inca citadel, boasts more than 150 buildings and sits above the Urubamba River valley.

    Lima on Rimac River in 1600 Aerial Panorama of Lima with Rimac River City Water IV: Architecture and the Recovery of Urban Watercourses in Latin America ARCH 201 Lima, Perú, Spring 2010 Professor René Davids ARCH 201 River/City/Life Cities worldwide are engaging the water’s edge with ambitious programs intended to clean up disused, polluted harbors and riverfronts. Projects which took shape in the 1980s such the London Docklands and Battery Park City in New York have been followed in recent years by a surge of revitalization efforts now underway in Hamburg, Stockholm and Sydney that include waterside parks, arts centers and other cultural facilities, as well as residential and commercial districts. Many of these initiatives involve sites contaminated with industrial wastes and require sustainability and green building Aerial Panorama of Lima with Rimac River Nazca Lines components. The high cost of these remediation projects requires that creative strategies be devised to finance and implement them, as when government agencies, or public–private partnerships, sell or lease derelict waterfront property to private developers, usually multinational consortia, for the purpose of building new communities. As part of this new wave of post-industrial revitalization, some cities are pioneering innovative approaches to site regeneration through which re-use proposals for both land and water sites are considered simultaneously. Such approaches to redevelopment emphasize dynamic processes, performance and adaptive re-use over time. In these more

  • Queer Corpses: Grupo Chaclacayo and the Image of Death
    To Helmut, to whose rage and love the ensuing lucubration is due. ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊThe deeply transgressive sexual dissident work of Grupo Chaclacayo (1983–1994) has remained largely unknown until today.1 Narrated more like a myth or a rumor (almost no one has been able to see their actual works in almost 01/12 thirty years), this collective endeavor was one of the most daring episodes of artistic experimentation and sexual-political performance to emerge in Peru during the 1980s. These experiments were carried out amidst a violent armed conflict between communist subversive groups and the Peruvian government. Grupo Chaclacayo consisted of three artists (the Miguel A. Lpez German Helmut Psotta and his Peruvian students Sergio Zevallos and Raul Avellaneda), who, from 1982 to early 1989, voluntarily Queer Corpses: sequestered themselves in a house on the outskirts of Lima. In 1989 they were forced to Grupo move to Germany by the lack of economic resources in Peru and by the social and political Chaclacayo and hostility resulting from a war that would leave a death toll of seventy thousand people in nearly two decades (1980–2000).2 After arriving in the Image of Germany a few months before the fall of the Berlin Wall, Grupo Chaclacayo organized an Death exhibition summing up their work in Peru and including new installations and performances. The exhibition was entitled “Todesbilder. Peru oder Das Ende des europischen Traums” [Images of Death: Peru or the End of the European Dream] and was shown in cities such as Stuttgart, Bochum, Karlsruhe, and Berlin, h t among others.3 The group disbanded around a e D 1995.

  • Domesticated Democracy? Labor Rights at Home in Lima and New York City by Katherine Eva Maich a Dissertation Submitted in Partia
    Domesticated Democracy? Labor Rights at Home in Lima and New York City By Katherine Eva Maich A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Raka Ray, Chair Professor Kim Voss Professor Laura Enriquez Professor Jonathan Simon Summer 2017 Domesticated Democracy? Labor Rights at Home in Lima and New York City ã 2017 by Katherine Eva Maich All Rights Reserved Abstract Domesticated Democracy? Labor Rights at Home in Lima and New York City By Katherine Eva Maich Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Berkeley Professor Raka Ray, Chair Domestic workers’ struggles for labor rights—both historically and currently—draw attention to the private sphere of the home as an unregulated site of gendered and racialized labor that has often been overlooked across historical moments and economic configurations. Usually performed by indigenous and immigrant women, domestic work tends to be undervalued via a lack of prestige, respect, labor protections, and sufficient pay, though it remains socially necessary work within the global economy. Yet the privacy of the home often masks the social relations of intimacy, power, love, and exploitation that take place inside of it, as domestic workers reproduce family life and the ideologies of home by cleaning, cooking, and caring for those who live there. This dissertation builds upon a large multidisciplinary body of scholarship that has focused on the intersectional inequalities of class, caste, gender, race, and ethnicity embedded within domestic employer-worker relationship in varying contexts, and yet has failed to fully theorize how those relationships change when legally regulated, and in what ways those laws then shape anew the household.

  • Looking Across the Street Understanding Segregation and Marginalization in a District of Lima Through the Use and Treatment of Public Space
    DEGREE PROJECT IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT, SECOND CYCLE, 30 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2018 Looking across the street Understanding segregation and marginalization in a district of Lima through the use and treatment of public space DAVID RICARDO DE LA CRUZ VEGA KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT TRITA TRITA-ABE-MBT-18453 www.kth.se Abstract The district of Barranco is the smallest in the city of Lima, Peru, and is marked by the inequality in the socio-economic level of its inhabitants and a differentiated capacity in their access to public spaces. The present study seeks to explore, through an analysis of the public space and its characteristics, the causes, conditions and structural dynamics of inequality that produce and reproduce segregation and marginalization in the district of Barranco. For this research, interviews, participant observation, cartographic analysis and literature review have been employed. Theoretically, the concepts of public space, gentrification and spatial justice are used in order to examine the power relationships that are manifested and reproduced in the constant recreation of public space. The preliminary results show that the relationship of segregation in the district is based on the indifference and the active role of the municipal governments in promoting the stratification of the district through a zoning delimitation that spatially excludes the less favored, and differentiated policies over the public space in function of that zoning. These processes accentuate the social and historical division of the inhabitants of the district, which makes it even more difficult the appropriation of public space by the less favored sector.

  • Native Andeans in the Frontier City: a New Conquest History of Urban Peru, 1535-1700
    NATIVE ANDEANS IN THE FRONTIER CITY: A NEW CONQUEST HISTORY OF URBAN PERU, 1535-1700 BY RYAN ALAN BEAN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Emeritus Nils Jacobsen, Chair Professor Antoinette Burton Professor Jerry Dávila Professor Craig Koslofsky Assistant Professor Claudia Brosseder ii ABSTRACT Using the imbrication of urban space and empire as a lens, this dissertation traces the emergence and making of a frontier city through an examination of sixteenth and seventeenth century Lima, Peru. By examining ongoing spatial conflicts in the viceregal capital and most important city in Spain’s South American empire, this dissertation offers a new conquest history of Peruvian urban centers. The goal of this project is twofold: to elucidate and evaluate the efficacy of spatial strategies and tools employed by the crown, royal administrators, and Church officials; and to highlight the profound roles played by native Andeans in shaping how urban space and, by extension, empire was lived, experienced, and constituted in the Lima valley. In other words, examining space and empire from below allows us to see that native peoples were central to the making of place in Lima and, thus, critical actors in the construction of new spatial conducts and identities that ran counter to the goals of the crown, as well as local, royal, and Church officials. Ungovernable indigenous mobility posed an unrelenting challenge to officials’ ability to create place on their own terms in Lima as well as in the viceroyalty more broadly.
