Abstract

análisis tanto del texto escrito como de los dibujos que el cronis-ta indígena compuso, con el fin de mostrar que ellos traducen una compleja y rica combinación de descripción de la red urbana realmente existente a inicios del siglo XVII, con una serie de ideales de ordenamiento espacial, urbanístico y geográfico, propio de los imaginarios andinos. Así, el orden de las calles y pla-zas en damero, con la iglesia en el centro, se combina con la afirmación de jerar-quías de la red de lugares centrales del mundo prehispánico. ABSTRACT In his celebrated New Chronicle and Good Government, Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala emphasizes a vision characteristic of colonial town planning. This article analyzes both the written text and the drawings that the Indian chronicler composed in order to demonstrate that they translate a complex and rich descriptive combination of the urban network which actually existed at the beginning of the 17th century, with a series of spatial ordering, urbanistic and geographical ideals, peculiar to Andean imaginary. Thus, the order of the streets and squares in damero, with the church in the centre, is combined with the statement of network hierarchies of the central places of the pre-hispanic world.
