Latin America is a part of that Global village where-according to Marc Augé-places, time, and space exist in abundance and where the presumed unique nature of the Western model clashes with the image of the Bother^. (Augé (2009); Salgues (2016), p. 114) Thus, while the formation of a multiethnic and multicultural society-one based on the principle of tolerance, in which diversity and homologation should coexist without conflict-is hoped for, the spread of such categories as ethnicity and minority underscores the dissimilarities of our time. Starting from such basic concepts as, for example, religion, culture, otherness, and identity, and with the analysis of two case studies-Our Lady of Guadalupe and Saint Martín de Porres-the aim is to raise a problem: does a Latin American cultural identity exist? And how can it be identified? Keywords History of religions . Anthropology . Latin america . Cultural identity . Religion . Globalization When speaking of a Latin American identity, it must be noted that, over time, a consciousness of identity has formed, planned by the shared events of the nations that underwent Spanish and Portuguese conquest. More precisely, a collective identity has been created, modelled along three centuries of Spanish/Portuguese domination, thanks to the language and religion adopted from the two countries and by virtue of unique cultural factors 1 : in this Int J Lat Am Relig (2017) 1:134-155

Redes eclesiásticas, procesos de extirpación de idolatrías y cultos andinos coloniales en Atacama. Siglos XVII y XVIII 1 Jorge Hidalgo Lehuedé 2 Resumen Se analiza la bibliografía atingente a la extirpación de idolatrías en Atacama colonial (actual segunda región, Chile) y se proponen nuevas hipótesis cotejando la documentación conocida con otra inédita. Se avanza en el estudio de las redes y carreras eclesiásticas, y en las actividades comerciales y de extirpación realizadas por los sacerdotes. Se estudian los equipos sacerdotales que descubrieron cultos idolátricos y huacas en cuatro visitas o campañas de extirpación entre 1635 y 1674.Se proponen tres etapas en la formación del cristianismo atacameño colonial: 1) 1557-1635, en la que la Iglesia y las huacas compartieron similares valores simbólicos; 2) 1635-1650, en la cual los indígenas de Atacama ven al sacerdote como proveedor y otorgador de prosperidad; 3) Siglo XVIII, cuando los atacameños se han apropiado de las principales enseñanzas del cristianismo colonial, pero donde algunos de los atributos de las huacas han sido traspasados simbólicamente al Dios cristiano, a la Iglesia y sus representantes. Palabras claves: idolatrías -huacas -catolicismo atacameño.Abstract This paper analyzes the bibliography related to Extirpation of Idolatries in colonial Atacama (II Region, Chile), and proposes new hypotheses through both well-known and unstudied documents. We make a contribution to the study of ecclesiastic networks and careers, remarking on both extirpations and commercial activities, and studying the priestly teams that discovered idolatry cults and huacas in four visits or extirpation campaigns between 1635 and 1674. We propose three stages in the formation of Atacameño Christianity: 1) 1557-1635, when the Church and the huacas shared the same symbolic values, 2) 1635-1650, where the Atacameño people saw the priests as providers and carriers of prosperity, and 3) 18 th century, when Atacameño people had incorporated the primary teachings of colonial Catholicism, but some attributes of the huacas were symbolically identified with the Christian god, the Church, and its representatives
