El Perdón como espacio normativo. Circulación, mediación y traducción de discursos religiosos entre Roma y Santiago, Siglo XVII

Abstract

– The main objective of the proposal we present here is to analyze the reproduction of a religious-normative language between two juridical-geographical spaces (Rome and Chile). Through discourses on forgiveness this research links religious-normative discourses on forgiveness sustained by the church (stemmed from the Holy See) to translation practices in a local space. It thus attempts to describe the interactions between these two spheres through establishing connections between norms and practices. We also study the characters who allow such practices of circulation, mediation, and reproduction between Europe and America. In this sense, we try to interpret to what extent these religious-normative ideas were translated into local practices within an extended long temporal frame (17th century); and to what extent convergences and divergences between these two juridical-geographical spaces were produced around
