Abstract

There is consensus in interpreting religion as a privileged field in the construction of ideological hegemony operating simultaneously as an important foundation for other structures of political and economic domination. However, there is little literature regarding the processes in which this hegemony is constructed, reconstructed, and resisted on a daily basis within concrete sociocultural spaces (Laclau and Moyffe 1987). As will be seen in the first part of this work, the southern Central Andes constitute a privileged setting for the analysis of this type of process, due to the scarce penetration that their communities have suffered from the dominant cults, even since the times prior to Spanish colonization.
