This article explores the role played by images of the Virgin Mary in the ordering of space during the colonial period, as well as in the disruption of such order as a gesture of resistance by subordinate groups. In the Real Audiencia de Quito of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, civil and religious authorities used miraculous images of the Virgin Mary as aids in the founding of reducciones, which assured the imposition of Christian civility upon the Native population. Legal records suggest that in the second half of the eighteenth century Indigenous communities deployed similar strategies as a means of asserting their own concerns. Native actors physically manipulated Marian images in times of conflict, moving them around or apprehending them either to legitimize their desertion of colonial settlements or to resist forced relocation. In both the early colonial period and in the eighteenth century, the key strategy of shaping sacred landscapes was implemented in both Andean and Christian traditions.

图像与景观：殖民领土的（无序）秩序（18 世纪的基多）

本文探讨了圣母玛利亚的形象在殖民时期的空间秩序中所起的作用，以及在这种秩序的破坏中，作为下属群体的抵抗姿态。在 16 和 17 世纪的 Real Audiencia de Quito 中，民间和宗教当局使用圣母玛利亚的神奇图像作为帮助建立reduccione，这确保了对土著居民实行基督教文明。法律记录表明，在 18 世纪下半叶，土著社区采用了类似的策略来表达自己的关切。当地演员在冲突期间对玛丽安的形象进行身体操纵，将它们四处移动或逮捕，以使他们离开殖民地定居点合法化或抵制被迫搬迁。在早期殖民时期和 18 世纪，塑造神圣景观的关键战略在安第斯和基督教传统中都得到了实施。
