- Abstract
This article defends the idea that there was a reinvention of idolatry on part of printed matter published between the 16th and 17th centuries, mainly due to the presence of engravings. In this respect, it is based on the analysis of the John Carter Brown Library on the colonization of hispanic America, where there are gathered a precious collection of prints and engravings. However, it goes beyond this documental corpus. Its aim is to highlight the relevance of concepts such as “idolatry” and “idoloclasm”, for the understanding of Iberian colonizations as well as to demonstrate the relationship between the destruction of idols present in the images and the idea of an exorcism of the colonial landscape, fundamental for the dominion of the conquered territories.
