Abstract

Desde el comienzo del período colonial, escritores españoles y criollos de toda Hispanoamérica sostenían que la
embriaguez era una característica esencial de la cultura indígena. Estas refl exiones presentan una interpretación de ese discurso. A través de una comparación de discusiones coloniales y decimonónicas sobre el papel de alcohol dentro de la cultura indígena, trazo la evolución de la fi gura del ‘indio borracho’ en el discurso de la élite e interpreto la persistencia de esa fi gura dentro de la imaginación criolla.

Since the early colonial era Spanish and creole writers from across Spanish America have alleged that drunkenness was a defining characteristic of indigenous culture. This essay offers an interpretation of that torrent of discourse. Through a comparison of nineteenth-century and colonial discussions of indigenous drinking the essay excavates the changing contours of the elite understanding of the ‘drunken Indian’, and considers the reasons for that figure’s persistent vitality within the creole imagination.
