Revolución y transformación de la cultura política en la época de la Independencia en los territorios de Perú y Nueva Granada 1809-1812

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the political ideology and the transformation of the political culture during the period of the independence and its local variations in the territories of Lima and Santa Fe. We will also discuss the conformation of a creole Andean vision and the importance of the political representation of the first constitutions and the impacts of the Courts of Cádiz in the studied territories, as well as the first attempts to make effective the new liberal monarchic “ideology”. Among the categories of analysis that we will take into account in this short research paper are people´s sovereignty, representation, citizenship, homeland, liberalism and republicanism. We also emphasize the local processes of each of the viceroyalties, with examples from Quito and Cuenca by the use of primary sources. Additionally, we analyze the indigenous incorporation process of representation, elections and citizenship with the starting point constituting the application of the guidelines of Cadiz in the territory.
