Abstract

This article examines temporal constructions of indigeneity and nation in texts from the 19th-century Peruvian press. The results are discussed from a perspective of the history of knowledge and science, illustrating that the emerging sociological thought not only relied on the progressive conception of time from the natural sciences but also on the detemporalization of indigenous ‘Others’ as a contrasting element.
