These myths, present in different documentary sources, explain the agency attributed to the hill and how it is invoked today in the "mesas" or ritual sessions of master healers and witches of a wide region. Chaparri is considered a "healer", associated with the identity of the Sun, as well as a "witch" who devours the shadows of those who pass through him and his victims. This double identity explains the diversity and complexity of ritual practices that use the hill as a setting, or in which its "charm" is invoked. The approach of the text is ethnographic addressing notions of agency, intentionality, humanity, petrification or the materiality of Cerro Chaparrí, of which there are no monographic studies in Americanist literature. Este artículo analiza el carácter ambivalente del cerro Chaparrí en la mitología de la costa norte peruana en base al estudio de una serie de mitos que describen los enfrentamientos entre este cerro y el Yanahuanca. Dichos mitos, presentes en distintas fuentes documentales, explican la agencia que se atribuye al cerro y cómo es invocado hoy en las "mesas" o sesiones rituales de maestros curanderos y brujos de una amplia región. Chaparrí es percibido como un "curandero", asociado con la identidad del Sol, y como un "brujo-malero" que devora las sombras de quienes lo atraviesan y de sus víctimas. Esta doble identidad explica la diversidad y complejidad de prácticas rituales que tienen al cerro como escenario, o en las que su "encanto" es invocado. El enfoque del texto es etnográfico y aborda nociones de agencia, intencionalidad, humanidad, petrificación o la materialidad del cerro Chaparrí, sobre el que no contamos con estudios monográficos en la literatura americanista. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: Spanish refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Memoria Americana is the property of Memoria Americana, Cuadernos de Etnohistoria and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
