Abstract

In this chap­ter, we will pre­sent an agent who acti­vely par­ti­ci­pa­ted in the spi­ri­tual con­quest of the indi­ge­nous peo­ples during the colo­ni­za­tion of the Alto Perú terri­tory: the yana­co­na mis­sio­nary inter­pre­ter. First, we will focus on des­cri­bing the cor­pus we are using to reco­ver this figu­re. Next, we will des­cri­be their par­ti­ci­pa­tion in the colo­ni­za­tion as a pro­duct of the con­fluen­ce of the lin­guis­tic poli­cies of civil powers and reli­gious orders. Finally, we will por­tray their role within the hie­rarchy of colo­nial autho­ri­ties.
