Sainthood and its manifestations is a subject that has become primordial in the studies of culture and power within societies; it is through the constructions of saintly figures that we can identify the desires and tensions within different classes and ethnic groups, but we can also encounter much more hybrid and fluid spaces. My research is an attempt to create a genealogy of Catholic sainthood in the Andean region, through the studies of different topics and famous saints. My main objective is to make evident how the concept of sainthood was transformed and altered with the arrival of Catholicism to Latin America, and how the colonial relationships in Peru created an Andean sainthood. Using queerness as a theoretical base and tool of analysis, I study how sainthood in Lima (XVI-XVII centuries) could be considered a performative identity, and therefore, the saintly characters could legitimize their particular actions and desires through their mystical manifestations. At the same time, I will try to explore how sainthood and its practices created a third and fluent space for gender and sexuality that also dissolved colonial structures. This, of course, didn't go unnoticed by the authorities and the Inquisition, so we will also point out the ambiguity of mystical practices between what was considered orthodox and heterodox. To demonstrate the above, I will specifically study four cases of sainthood from the viceroyalty of Peru (two women and two men) that are particularly striking: Santa Rosa de Lima (1586-1617); Ursula de Jesus (1604-1668); San Martin de Porras (1579-1639) and Nicolas de Ayllon (1632-1677). By choosing these cases and reading some of their hagiographies and canonization processes, I am showing not only the strong religious climate that was particular of Peru, but also the wide possibilities that sainthood offered to people with different intentions and desires. At the end, my proposal has the objective to rarefy the saintly figures; to make a queer, counter-reading of sainthood and search within the silences and contradictions of the official texts some alternative voices to the history and literature of the colony.
