Tipo de ítem:Publicación, The Impact of Higher Education on Andean Spirituality: A Case Study with Quechua-Speaking and Rural Youth in PeruThe growth of rural–urban migration not only affects the social and economic adaptation of the new rural generations to urban spaces but also produces a series of changes in their mental representations, as occurs with religious beliefs. Contrary to the assumption that Christianity is a religion adopted by the Latin American population in a uniform manner and in accordance with the patterns of the official religion, the present study shows the deep-rootedness of pre-Hispanic beliefs in a group of students of rural origin and from the south of the Peruvian Andes. This belief system manifests the persistence of animistic traits in the spirituality of rural youth in the Andes. The qualitative study uses ethnohistorical, anthropological, and theological analysis tools to demonstrate that young people of rural origin who access higher education (approximately 10% of the total population of rural youth) would be developing, through processes of critical analysis, new ways of elaborating a religious synthesis between imposed Christianity and ancestral beliefs of Andean origin. - Algunas métricas están bloqueadas por tuconfiguración de consentimiento
Tipo de ítem:Publicación, Spiritual Discourse in the Jesuit Missions: The Role of Nature in the Evangelization of Peru (Sixteenth–Seventeenth Centuries)The article explores how, notwithstanding their suspicions that the devil could take advantage of the animistic beliefs of Peru’s native inhabitants to consolidate idolatry, the Jesuit missionaries ultimately became more understanding of the spiritual Andean worldview. From St. Ignatius of Loyola’s postulate of “Contemplation to Obtain Love” in the Spiritual Exercises, by which God is acting and present in nature and inhabits creatures, and thanks to their continuous contact with the aboriginal population, the Jesuit missionaries were able to better understand the indigenous relationship with nature, for example through natural medicine and pharmacopoeia. They were therefore able to bridge some gaps in an intercultural exchange that produced forms of religious hybridization that are still a feature of Andean Christianity today.
