GAUNE, Rafael. The Jesuit as Translator. Organization, Circulation, and Workings of the Society of Jesus in Santiago de Chile, 1593-1598. hist.crit. [online]. 2013, n.50, pp.13-36. ISSN 0121-1617.

This text aims to analyze the first five years of the presence of the Society of Jesus in Chile. Between 1593 and 1598, the Jesuits positioned themselves as relevant actors in the internal workings of society by using several strategies, such as the translation of a new reality and the assessment of the sociopolitical context. These will be analyzed while highlighting the intersection between local context and global environment through missionary practices.
