Discourses, images and actions in the churches of Huaras, Recuay and Aija

Abstract

Getting into the knowledge of the spatial organization of a church (treated as the place of assembly), its ornaments and symbols, implies to analyze past discourses that will report us on the strategies of various mediators -parish records, municipal acts, press, books- that have conditioned its construction and its subsequent changes. In their turn, authorities like priests and mayors had propagated images that were used to decide on possible actions to improve buildings or just forget them.
