Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research is a comparative analysis of the baptismal records (1754-1764) of the Jesuit Mission of Santa Rosa in Paraguay and its census records. The main outcome of the research is as follows: (1) a cross-chronological analysis of census records and baptismal record of Santa Rosa for the purpose of tracing cacicazgo related to the Guarani godfathers revealed a profound relationship between spiritual sponsor and certain distinguished cacicazgo. (2) The cacicazgo to which a newborn child’s mother belonged was registered precisely in the baptismal record, and following name and age of these children in the census records enables us to understand that these children, even after becoming adults, kept belonging to the same cacicazgo to which their mothers had membership.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
先住民を対象とする歴史学的研究には古典的テーマが存在するが、そのうちの一つがカシケやカシカスゴhに関するものである。これについては、アステカ、マヤ、インカ以外の先住民を対象とする研究はあまり進んでいない。本研究は、これまで等閑に付されてきたラプラタ地域の先住民グアラニに関してカシケ・カシカスゴの観点から研究を行ったものであり、洗礼簿やパドロン(住民名簿)など、ヨーロッパ系の人間が書き残した史料を分析対象とした。こうした史料が内包する情報を分析したことで、巨大文明を作り上げた先住民を中心に行われてきたカシケ・カシカスゴ研究に新たな視座を提示した。
