  • Resumen
    • This article studies the self-image projected by the indigenous community of Santiago del Cercado de Lima during the public spectacles organized in February of 1790 in honor of the accession of Charles IV. These festivities are of particular interest since they were among the first of their kind to be held in the aftermath of the Indian rebellions that shook the Viceroyalty of Peru in the early 1780s. As a consequence of these upheavals, Spanish authorities had become increasingly wary of indigenous celebrations. The present study will examine both written and visual sources: the poetic narrative of the indigenous festivals, authored by the Spaniard Esteban Terralla y Landa; the panegyric poetry and plays written for the celebrations itself, also party penned by Terralla y Landa; and the official chronicle commissioned by the viceroy. These texts will be read in the context of the repeated official requests for recognition of his loyalty to the Spanish Crown, submitted by Bartolomé de Meza, one of the leaders of the native Peruvian community of Lima and principal organizer and sponsor of the spectacles.
