El Qaraku o wilancha: Prácticas y creencias religiosas entre los mineros de Huanuni, Bolivia
Keywords:
religious’believes and practices, domination, resistance, contestationAbstract
In this article, I explore the creation process of the Tío deity, in the colonial period in Bolivia, also, I analyze current believes and religious practices around the Tío among Huanuni miners, focusing on the ritual sacrifice named qaraku o wilancha. Through this analysis, I pretend to show that the cultural creation of the Tío, as well as the ritual practices, i.e. qaraku, could be understood as a contestation field of meanings and senses, in the context of unequal power relations, where “popular culture” shapes and is shaped in interrelation with dominant culture.
