Este artículo presenta detalles etnográficos sobre una costumbre en los Andes conocida como residencia: la inspección anual de casas por autoridades de la comunidad dentro del sistema de cargos tradicionales. Las autoridades recién inauguradas van de casa en casa buscando indicios de aseo, atención a los animales domésticos, disciplina de los niños, preparación ritual, religiosidad, fertilidad, y caridad. Garcilaso de la Vega relata una práctica similar llevada a cabo por oficiales incaicos, pero no está claro si la residencia que practican hoy es de origen incaico o surgió después de la Conquista. Aunque la práctica de residencia ya no es tan estricta como antes, todavía es fundamental en la celebración del Año Nuevo. Cet article fournit des détails ethnographiques sur une pratique andine connue sous le nom de residencia : il s’agit d’une inspection annuelle des familles par les autorités de la communauté à travers le système traditionnel du cargo. De maison en maison, les nouveaux titulaires de la charge contrôlent la propreté, le traitement donné aux animaux domestiques, l’éducation des enfants, le respect des rituels, la religiosité, la fertilité et la charité. Garcilaso de la Vega a rendu compte d’une pratique identique de la part des officiels incas, mais le fait que la residencia soit d’origine inca ou qu’elle soit postérieure à la conquête demeure incertain. Bien que moins rigoureuse qu’elle ne le fut, la residencia demeure un élément central de la célébration de la nouvelle année. |
