Los altares portátiles tras la expulsión de la Compañía de Jesús en el Río de la Plata y Chile (1780-1820): una historia de agencias y resignificaciones. Historia (Santiago) [online]. 2018, vol.51, n.2, pp.517-548. ISSN 0717-7194.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-71942018000200517.

Starting from the diverse uses and assigned functions of the portable altars that are analyzed in private correspondences between philo-Jesuit agents and requests to the Directorate of the State of Buenos Aires, this article investigates a number of strategies and exchanges deployed by those agents after the expulsion of the Society of Jesus to promote the devotion to the order and to maintain the practices of evangelization in territories and remote regions like the Araucania and the Patagonia at the beginnings of the nineteenth century. This article weaves together questions from history, art history and the anthropology of images to respond to the ways in which portable altars were effective means for the evangelization in apostolic missions whose main characteristic was the autonomy of its missionaries.

Palabras clave : Río de la Plata; Araucanía; Eighteenth Century; Nineteenth Century; Society of Jesus; Portable Altar; Agency; Networks; Apostolic Missions.
