- W4206332616 abstract "Death occurred in the colonial Spanish borderlands for a variety of reasons, both mundane and unexpected. Like medieval Christians, however, Jesuits in New Spain elevated particular missionary deaths into stories of holy sacrifice in order to render them meaningful and useful. Martyrdoms could transform ruinous moments of plague or revolt into mysterious signs of progress. They operated temporally to mitigate setbacks and ensure future salvation. They also worked spatially to bring Christendom into being, sacralizing Native territory with saintly blood. Passion stories, relics, maps, and portraits helped transform Indigenous spaces into Christian places in the European cultural imagination. In this work, martyrdom joined several other naming rituals, meant to convert pagan territories by “making the land holy.” Jesuits saw their civilizing and Christianizing work through the lens of a powerful agricultural metaphor. Although the imagery of Christian suffering as seed and convert salvation as fruit goes back to the early church, it developed new meaning in the context of the colonization of the Americas. This metaphor supplied a logic of ultimate productivity even in the face of violent coercion and catastrophic setback." @default.
