Resumen
Con este trabajo pretendo demostrar que la arquitectura desarrollada por los ignacianos en las estancias de la Provincia Jesuítica del Paraguay, fue una labor combinada entre arquitectos jesuitas y constructores africanos y afrodescendientes, conformando lo que denomino una «arquitectura afro-jesuítica». Destacamos fundamentalmente que estos ámbitos van a responder al uso exclusivo de los esclavizados, levantándose tres tipologías arquitectónicas en el contexto de una arquitectura colonial donde fueron excluidas, como iglesias para el culto cristiano, viviendas colectivas para el hábitat de los mismos usuarios y obrajes como lugares de trabajo. Planteamos la reformulación de una historia no contada, para descubrir y valorizar un patrimonio cultural interracial, entre jesuitas y africanos, que se desarrolló en el territorio de la antigua provincia jesuítica, hoy jurisdicción de Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay y parte de Bolivia y Brasil.
This work aims to demonstrate that the architecture developed by the Ignatian people in the halls of the Jesuit Province of Paraguay was the combined work of Jesuit architects and builders of African descent, forming what can be referred to as »Afro-Jesuit architecture.» It will be emphasised that these places primarily responded to the exclusive use of the enslaved, creating three architectural typologies in a context of colonial architecture where they had previously been excluded, such as churches for Christian worship, group homes for the local population and mills as places of work. An alternative formulation of an untold story will be proposed, to discover and appreciate a cultural, inter-racial heritage among Jesuits and Africans, which developed in the territory of the former Jesuit Province, today under the jurisdiction of Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and parts of Bolivia and Brazil.
