AMAYA FARIAS, Fernando. The Andean Colonial Conflict and Theological Mediation in Guamán Poma Chronicles. perifrasis. rev.lit.teor.crit. [online]. 2012, vol.3, n.5, pp.7-34. ISSN 2145-8987.

La nueva corónica y buen gobierno by Felipe Guamán Poma de Ayala represents a document of protest outstanding in words and images for the defense of the oppressed natives. The writer's own experience as native and Christian is the startingpoint for his citizism of the colonial system. In his opinion the negative influence on the native culture wasn't caused by the Christian promise of salvation nor by the proclaimed ideal way of Christian living, but by the way Christianity was transformed through the colonial context. The author’s main interest is to raise the question of the interruption and continuance and the compatibility and incompatibility between the native religions and Christianity.

Keywords : mediation words-images; Christianity; colonial conflict; continuance; interruption.
