Este estudio analiza las características que adquirió el control político de las comunidades atacameñas por parte del corregidor de indios, el que, sumido en la ideología demonológica de la época, en su expresión popular, cree descubrir prácticas de brujería que adquieren un carácter subversivo al afectarlo personalmente. Por intermedio de este proceso judicial conocemos de las prácticas de un significativo número de curanderos y de los conflictos que existían entre aquellos curanderos más prestigiosos y las autoridades étnicas de Atacama.
ABSTRACT
This paper analyzes the characteristics of political control over Atacaman communities that was exercised by the corregidor of Indians. This official, steeped in the popular demonological ideology of his time, believed that he had discovered manifestations of witchcraft. Because they affected him personally, he found them to be subversive. Through the study of this judicial process, welearn about the practices of a significant number of native healers and the conflicts that existed between the most prestigious of these curanderos and the Atacaman ethnic authorities.
