| description | The limits of humanity. The myth of the ch’ullpa in Marcapata (Quispicanchi), Peru. This paper presents and discusses the myth of the ch’ullpa – beings of the pre-solar time – such as it is narrated by the members of the ayllu Collana from the district of Marcapata (province of Quispicanchi, Cusco) in relation to three kind of sources: a) the archaeological information about the geographical and spatial localization of the mortuary monuments which received that name in the Central Andes; b) the ethnological information about other versions of the myth registered among other indigenous-peasant populations from Southern Peru and the Bolivian altiplano; c) the ethnohistorical information which, in relation with the myth, has been registered by several scholars. The main objective of the review is to lay the foundations of a comparative perspective of the myth with the aim to transcend the specificities of a case study. |
