Viewing a variety of narratives through the lens of inebriation
imagery, this book explores how such imagery emerges in colonial
Peru as articulator of notions of the self and difference,
resulting in a new social hierarchy and exploitation. Reading
Inebriation evaluates the discursive and geo-political relevance of
representations of drinking and drunkenness in the crucial period
for the consolidation of colonial power in the Viceroyalty of Peru,
and the resisting rhetoric of a Hispanicized native Andean writer
interested in changing stereotypes, fighting inequality, and
promoting tolerance at imperial level in one of the main centers of
Spanish colonial economic activity in the Americas. In recognizing
and addressing this imagery, MA(3)nica Morales restores an element
of colonial discourse that hitherto has been overlooked in the
critical readings dealing with the history of sixteenth and early
seventeenth-century Andes. She presents drinking as the
metaphorical site where Western culture and the New World collide
and define themselves on the grounds of differing drinking rituals
and ideas of moderation and excess. Narratives such as
dictionaries, legal documents, conversion manuals, historical
writings, literary accounts, and chronicles frame her context of
analysis.
