Releyendo la era de las rebeliones andinas: desde los estudios de la resistencia hasta los debates de la subalternidad

Abstract

This article provides a critical revision of the literature dealing with indigenous rebellions in the Andes, which has set the pace for the current debates and agendas. I put forth this revision as a starting point to rethink the ways in which these revolts are theorized and interpreted, and to recognize the central role that the impact of regional mobilizations holds globally. I start from the bibliography on rebellions between 1970 and 1990, to later highlight more recent literature. This recent literature has been marked by the agenda established in the previous stage, and further denoted by new questions around the nature of the political sphere, and the links between the material and the cultural ones, as well as the subaltern agency.
