Based on the record of the proceedings against Josefa Ramos on charges of sorcery and witchcraft, we study, on the one hand, the representation of the witch in the colonial imaginary, which was a replica of the representation known in Europe; on the other, the status that acquired the person considered as such and the actions and supernatural powers that were attributed to her. Josefa Ramos’ story shows how the accused, at least at a discursive level, took the assigned roll and started to act as a witch; therefore, it is considered that as a result of the ideas inculcated by the friars, the accused of witchcraft began to reproduce similar realities to those registered in Europe. El presente artículo analiza las características de las brujas novohispanas que eran “del género de las de España”, a diferencia de las de raigambre mesoamericana. Con base en el expediente del proceso contra Josefa Ramos por los delitos de hechicería y brujería se estudia, por una parte, la representación de la bruja en el imaginario colonial, que fue una réplica de la conocida en Europa; por otra, cómo se construía socialmente su figura, el estatus que adquiría y cuáles eran las acciones y poderes sobrenaturales que se le atribuían. El caso de “la Chuparratones” muestra cómo la acusada, cuando menos en el nivel discursivo, llegaba a meterse en el papel que le habían forjado y actuar como tal; por tanto, se considera que, debido a las ideas que le habían inculcado los religiosos, comenzó a recrear realidades muy parecidas a las que se registraron en el continente europeo. 2018-05-23 2021-06-03T03:54:16Z 2021-06-03T03:54:16Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares http://culturales.uabc.mx/index.php/Culturales/article/view/629 10.22234/recu.20180601.e338 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/7273 spa http://culturales.uabc.mx/index.php/Culturales/article/view/629/355 http://culturales.uabc.mx/index.php/Culturales/article/view/629/406 http://culturales.uabc.mx/index.php/Culturales/article/view/629/469 Derechos de autor 2018 Felipe Canuto Castillo, Ángel Serrano Sánchez application/pdf text/html application/xml Universidad Autónoma de Baja California Culturales; Vol. 6 (2018): Rolling Pass; 1-32 Culturales; Vol. 6 (2018): Publicación Continua; 1-32 2448-539X 1870-1191
