    QUITO A student at work in the carpentry workshop of the Escuela Taller Quito, which was established in 1992 to teach traditional construction techniques to underprivileged youngsters HEART AND SOUL Quito’s World Heritage-listed colonial centre is the largest in the Americas. And thanks to municipal intervention and the eff orts of a school for disadvantaged children, the Ecuadorian capital’s historic heart is being revitalised. Dominic Hamilton reports rom the outside, the Escuela Taller Quito (Quito Workshop School) is deceiving. A two-storey mansion F set on one of the narrow streets in the Ecuadorian capital’s historic centre, it looks like a family home. Pass through its ornately carved doorway, however, and it’s another story. Pupils in blue overalls hurry between classrooms, criss-crossing the elegant patio in gaggles of three or four. A bell rings and a hush returns, although this, too, is deceptive. Enter one of the classrooms that ring the patio and you’re confronted with a hive of activity. The fi rst, adjacent to the entrance, is dedicated to carpentry. Inside, pupils are hard at work around half a dozen workbenches. Sketches and examples of completed works in marquetry and inlay decorate the walls. Sculptures at various stages of completion are scattered across the worktops, alongside tools of every size and function. There is a constant hum of knocking, carving, chipping, scraping and banging. The class is led by Maestro Carlos Vinicio Pazmiño, a tall, energetic man in his early 40s who passes from table to table surveying his pupils’ work. A room off to the right is quieter, bathed in studious silence.

  • The Voyage of the Beagle
    THE VOYAGE OF THE BEAGLE by Charles Darwin PREFACE I have stated in the preface to the first Edition of this work, and in the Zoology of the Voyage of the Beagle, that it was in consequence of a wish expressed by Captain Fitz Roy, of having some scientific person on board, accompanied by an offer from him of giving up part of his own accommodations, that I volunteered my services, which received, through the kindness of the hydrographer, Captain Beaufort, the sanction of the Lords of the Admiralty. As I feel that the opportunities which I enjoyed of studying the Natural History of the different countries we visited, have been wholly due to Captain Fitz Roy, I hope I may here be permitted to repeat my expression of gratitude to him; and to add that, during the five years we were together, I received from him the most cordial friendship and steady assistance. Both to Captain Fitz Roy and to all the Officers of the Beagle [1] I shall ever feel most thankful for the undeviating kindness with which I was treated during our long voyage. This volume contains, in the form of a Journal, a history of our voyage, and a sketch of those observations in Natural History and Geology, which I think will possess some interest for the general reader. I have in this edition largely condensed and corrected some parts, and have added a little to others, in order to render the volume more fitted for popular reading; but I trust that naturalists will remember, that they must refer for details to the larger publications which comprise the scientific results of the Expedition.

  • The Indigenous Capilla De Cantuña: the Catholic Temple of The
    Tulane Undergraduate Research Journal | Volume III (2021) The Indigenous Capilla de Cantuña: The Catholic Temple of The Sun Kevin Torres-Spicer Cal Poly Pomona, Pomona, California, USA ⚜ Abstract The Cantuña chapel within the St. Francis complex in Quito, Ecuador, was one of the first Catholic structures built in this region after the Spanish conquest in the sixteenth century. The chapel holds the name of its presumed native builder, Cantuña. However, a strong connection to the Incan sun deity, Inti, persists on this site. According to common belief and Spanish accounts, the Franciscan monks decided to build their religious complex on top of the palace temple of the Incan ruler, whom the natives believed to be Inti's incarnation. In this research, I examined vital components of the Capilla de Cantuña, such as the gilded altarpiece. I argue that the chapel acts as an Indigenous monument through the Cara, Inca, and Spanish conquests by preserving an aspect of native culture in a material format that transcends time. Most importantly, because the Cantuña chapel remains the least altered viceregal church in the region, it is a valuable testament to the various conquests and religious conversions of the Kingdom of Quito.

  • Picturing the River's Racial Ecologies in Colonial Panamá
    arts Article Picturing the River’s Racial Ecologies in Colonial Panamá Bart Pushaw Department of Arts and Cultural Studies, University of Copenhagen, S-2300 Copenhagen, Denmark; [email protected] Abstract: This article explores the local histories and ecological knowledge embedded within a Spanish print of enslaved, Afro-descendant boatmen charting a wooden vessel up the Chagres River across the Isthmus of Panamá. Produced for a 1748 travelogue by the Spanish scientists Antonio de Ulloa and Jorge Juan, the image reflects a preoccupation with tropical ecologies, where enslaved persons are incidental. Drawing from recent scholarship by Marixa Lasso, Tiffany Lethabo King, Katherine McKittrick, and Kevin Dawson, I argue that the image makes visible how enslaved and free Afro-descendants developed a distinct cosmopolitan culture connected to intimate ecological knowledge of the river. By focusing critical attention away from the print’s Spanish manufacture to the racial ecologies of the Chagres, I aim to restore art historical visibility to eighteenth-century Panamá and Central America, a region routinely excised from studies of colonial Latin American art. Keywords: Panamá; print; art; colonial; blackness; ecocriticism; enslavement; Central America 1. Introduction A boat ascends a coursing river (Figure1).

  • Public Summary of the Request
    On March 4, 2018, the U.S. Department of State published notification in the Federal Register of the receipt of a request from the Government of the Republic of Ecuador to the Government of the United States of America for import restrictions on archaeological and ethnological material from Ecuador representing its pre-Columbian through Republic period heritage. This request is submitted pursuant to Article 9 of the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property as implemented by the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act (“CPIA,” 19 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.). Accompanying its request, the Government of Ecuador provided a written statement of the facts known to Ecuador that relate to the determinations that must be made to enter into an agreement pursuant to the CPIA (19 U.S.C. § 2602(a)(1)). This statement included a brief history of the pre-Columbian, Colonial, and Republic periods in Ecuador; evidence of pillage of and jeopardy to Ecuador’s archaeological and ethnological materials; measures Ecuador has taken consistent with the 1970 UNESCO Convention to mitigate the problem of pillage; analysis of the nature and extent of the U.S. and international market for Ecuadorian cultural property; and a description of the benefits that import restrictions might confer. The following public summary is derived from that request. It does not necessarily represent the position of the Government of the United States on this matter. * * * PUBLIC SUMMARY
