Overview
«La Inquisición [ya] solo existe en los libros de historia y en los museos; sus huellas institucionales quedan como evidencia en las ruinas de los antiguos espacios que utilizó; sus quemaderos ya no están y las diferentes realidades culturales, sexuales e ideológicas se mantienen vivas en medio de una lucha universal por el reconocimiento de su valía. Aceptamos que hemos avanzado como sociedad en algunos aspectos y que hoy ya no vivimos a su sombra.» Con A su sombra viviremos, Luis Huitron, especialista en Inquisición, nos lleva desde el origen del Santo Oficio en España, la instauración del miedo, las guerras de la Iglesia frente a otras creencias, hasta su desarrollo en la Nueva España, los traspiés de la religión y distintos casos de acusados y torturados por ese terrorífico instrumento. El miedo al diablo, a las brujas, a la otredad, las alianzas políticas, la perpetuación del control, el sometimiento de las formas de vida y de pensamiento fueron hechos que permearon esos siglos y que conocerlos y entenderlos, nos permiten vivir al acecho para que esto no vuelva a suceder. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION “The Inquisition [now] only exists in history books and museums; its institutional traces remain as evidence in the ruins of the ancient spaces it used; its burning grounds are no longer there, and now different cultural, sexual and ideological realities are alive amid a universal struggle for recognition of their worth. We accept that we have advanced as a society in some respects and that today we no longer live in its shadow.”
In A su sombra viviremos (We Will Live in Its Shadow), Luis Huitron, a specialist in the Inquisition, takes us from the origins of the Holy Office in Spain, the establishment of fear, and the Church's wars against other beliefs, to its development in New Spain, the missteps of religion and various cases of those accused and tortured by this terrifying instrument. Events and ideas that permeated those centuries include the fear of the devil, witches, otherness, political alliances, the perpetuation of control and the subjugation of ways of life and thought. Knowing and understanding them allows us to remain vigilant so that this never happens again.
