| Sumario: | In this article, we discuss the body as a historiographical object in two areas during colonial times: Cajamarca-Peru’s 17th century and Santiago of Chile’s 18th century. Without minimizing the local particularities, we point out the fact that the bodies of women and indigenous people are both under the firm grip of the mechanisms of order. Focusing on the implementation of legal categories relating to the person and her body, we intent to highlight their proper use in the construction of female, indigenous and mixed-blood identities. Through the analysis of judicial proceedings led by women and Indians, we question different ways of “mentioning and treating” the bodies, be they only material structures or a living body, and the degree of violence entailed by the definitions and bounds of the judicial system. |
