This essay explores the history of the charges made agsinst these women and, in the process, uncovers patterns linking discourses of gender and race to political ideologies.

Nevertheless, bu the early seventeenth century they were condemed for sorcery that depended on Ineian prayers, herbs, language and sacred ohjects. By the middle of the seventeenth century, non-Indian witches were charged with practicing an Inca-centered form of sorcery.

Spain's imperial enterprise was rooted in the construction of new social beings at the core of modernity: (1) the racialized triad - Indian, Spaniard, and black; and (2) bureaucratized beings created in tandem with institutions of state. Conspiracies and confusions were the result as inquisitors, officers in the most modern bureaucracy of the time, intertwined stereotypes of Jews, Indians, African slaves, and women as part of an etiology of blame. Seventeenth-century Peru provides a glaring example of how fears could coalesce, develop, and ultimately balloon into absurd conspiracy theories, made all the more dangerous by an ideology of reason and the support of an institution of state.

She left behind a hand-written album of 57 poems that miraculously survived the War. Selma was from Czernowitz (at the time, Cernauti, Romania and today Chernivtsi, Ukraine), a city famous for its poets, like cousin Paul Celan, as well as for its “multicultural” ethos. Although Selma’s poetry had its first commercial publication in Hamburg thirty years ago, over the last seven years her poems have captured the imaginations of German and Austrian playwrights, professors, students, and musicians; now Ukrainian teachers, students, artists and city officials are discovering her poetry as well. This paper explores the resurging interest in Selma Meerbaum’s life and poetry as part of a project of potential reconciliation with the past -- and for the future. It focuses on memory-work, the social practices and social relations that make the past into a vital part of the present. It connects broad debates over how to – or whether to –publicly represent, atone for, or bury one of the modern world’s most horrifying episodes with current frictions over nationhood, moral obligations, and political vision. The goal is to explore how Chernvitsi residents, living in a city marked by communities with shared and diverse histories -- and diverse histories of facing the past – are creating milieus of meaning, and potential meanings, for Selma’s life and art. Selma presentations and performances are part of an aesthetic negotiation of public memory and embody the discord of unresolved pasts and an unsettled present.}, Key = {fds285526} } @article{fds285513, Author = {Silverblatt, I}, Title = {Heresies and colonial geopolitics}, Journal = {Romanic Review}, Volume = {103}, Number = {1-2}, Pages = {65-80}, Year = {2012}, Month = {January}, ISSN = {0035-8118}, Key = {fds285513} } @article{fds285528, Author = {Silverblatt, I}, Title = {Honor, Sex, and Civilizing in the Making of Seventeenth Century Peru}, Journal = {Journal of the Steward Anthropological Society}, Volume = {25}, Number = {1&2}, Pages = {181-198}, Year = {1997}, Key = {fds285528} } @article{fds285518, Author = {Silverblatt, I}, Title = {Imperial Dilemmas, the Politics of Kinship, and Inca Reconstructions of History}, Journal = {Comparative Studies in Society and History}, Volume = {30}, Number = {1}, Pages = {83-102}, Publisher = {Cambridge University Press (CUP)}, Year = {1988}, Month = {January}, ISSN = {0010-4175}, url = {http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:A1988M267200004&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=47d3190e77e5a3a53558812f597b0b92}, Doi = {10.1017/S001041750001505X}, Key = {fds285518} } @article{fds327583, Author = {Glauz-Todrank, AE and Boyarin, J and Silverblatt, I and Geller, J and Gross, A and Imhoff, S and Sippy, S}, Title = {Jewish identification and critical theory: The political significance of conceptual categories}, Journal = {Critical Research on Religion}, Volume = {2}, Number = {2}, Pages = {165-194}, Publisher = {SAGE Publications}, Year = {2014}, Month = {August}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/2050303214535009}, Abstract = {This symposium examines how various discursive frameworks inform Jewish and non-Jewish interpretations of Jewishness. Although the specific characteristics of these frameworks are context-dependent, the underlying themes remain the same: Jewish identification entails identifying “difference,” and this process of drawing distinctions between Jews and non-Jews gets developed in discursive frameworks of temporality, “race thinking,” nationalism, and genetics, among others. In the broader contexts within which Jewish identification is formulated, these frameworks serve to: (i) delineate categories of people on the basis of socially salient qualities associated with human and other bodies; (ii) evaluate these categorical “types” in regard to their determined “desirable” and “undesirable” qualities; (iii) implement institutionally sanctioned measures that facilitate the privileging of the people who apparently embody desired qualities; and (iv) enforce structural constraints within which people may choose to contest, re-inscribe, re-appropriate, and/or attempt to transform components of the other three networks mentioned above.

It also examines how the colonial context devolved new meanings and powers on native curers. The analysis of these transformations in Andean systems of meanings and role structures relating to healing depends on an examination of the European witchcraze of the 16th-17th centuries. The Spanish conquest of the Inca empire in the mid-1500's coincided with the European witch hunts; it is argued that the latter formed the cultural lens through which the Spanish evaluated native religion--the matrix through which Andean concepts of disease and health were expressed--as well as native curers. Andean religion was condemned as heresy and curers were condemned as witches. Traditional Andean cosmology was antithetical to 16th century European beliefs in the struggle between god and the devil, between loyal Christians and the Satan's followers. Consequently, European concepts of disease and health based on the power of witches, Satan's adherents, to cause harm and cure were alien to pre-Columbian Andean thought. Ironically European concepts of Satan and the supposed powers of witches began to graft themselves onto the world view of Andean peoples. The ensuing dialectic of ideas as well as the creation of new healers/witches forged during the imposition of colonial rule form the crux of this analysis.}, Doi = {10.1007/bf00052240}, Key = {fds285524} } @article{fds285519, Author = {Silverblatt, I}, Title = {The secret history of gender: Women, men, and power in late Colonial Mexico.}, Journal = {COMPARATIVE STUDIES IN SOCIETY AND HISTORY}, Volume = {41}, Number = {2}, Pages = {406-406}, Publisher = {CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS}, Year = {1999}, Month = {April}, ISSN = {0010-4175}, url = {http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000083178000007&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=47d3190e77e5a3a53558812f597b0b92}, Key = {fds285519} } @article{fds285522, Author = {Silverblatt, I}, Title = {Women in States}, Journal = {Annual Review of Anthropology}, Volume = {17}, Number = {1}, Pages = {427-460}, Publisher = {Annual Reviews}, Year = {1988}, Month = {October}, ISSN = {0084-6570}, url = {http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:A1988Q535100018&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=47d3190e77e5a3a53558812f597b0b92}, Doi = {10.1146/annurev.an.17.100188.002235}, Key = {fds285522} } %% Papers Accepted @article{fds198776, Author = {I.M.

Looking at state-making from the off-centered view-point of emerging colonial institutions helps make sense of the trajectory of horrors and irrationalities – as well as idioms of political legitimacy and justice – that have profoundly marked modern Andean life. European state-making was chained to imperial endeavors and Spanish political ideologies, like those of Spain’s early modern competitors, reflect modernity’s beginnings in this dialectic of state-making and colonialism. My essay explores how colonial apparatuses of statecraft, washed in the dictates of imperial control, made race-thinking – and the imperatives of “civilization” -- part of the body politic. And, while this essay can be suggestive at best, I hope it pushes us to ask why -- and how -- these beginnings have not been central to our perceptions of modern experience or modern states}, Key = {fds183489} } @article{fds219828, Author = {I.M.
