El jesuita como traductor. Organización, circulación y dinámicas de la compañía de Jesús en Santiago de Chile, 1593-1598

Abstract

This text aims to analyze the first five years of the presence of the Society of Jesus in Chile. Between 1593 and 1598, the Jesuits positioned themselves as relevant actors in the internal workings of society by using several strategies, such as the translation of a new reality and the assessment of the sociopolitical context. These will be analyzed while highlighting the intersection between local context and global environment through missionary practices.
