| Abstract
|
:
|
The author both examines and shifts away from the colonial imprint that permeates most accounts of the conquest of the Incas. He examines the years that bridged the first contact between Spanish conquistadores and Andean peoples in 1531 and the moment, around 1550, when a functioning colonial regime emerged. He focuses on questions of sub-alternization, meaning-making, copying, and exotization, which proved crucial to both the Spaniards and the Incas. He questions dominant images of Inca-Spanish distinctiveness and shows that in the battlefield as much as in everyday arenas such as conversion, market exchanges, politics, and land tenure, the parties blurred into each other in repeated instances of mimicry. The resulting landscape of plural attempts to define the order of things reveals that what the Spaniards achieved was a "domination without dominance." This conclusion undermines common ideas of Spanish (and Western) superiority. It shows that casting order as a by-product of military action rests on a pervasive fallacy : the translation of military superiority into cultural superiority.
