region of the Bolivian Amazon, occasionally held seances where the
medium invoked the spirits of the dead at the request of their living
relatives. The dead who came to the seances were all but one indigenous
people. The only exception was Virtuchi, a white man who is said to
have been a murderer in the remote past. He would often come to the
seances and tell the Trinitarios where they could find a missing person or
object and, in exchange for this service, receive Christian prayers which
were indispensable for his salvation. In this paper, I will try to answer
the question why the spirit of a white murderer was invoked at the indigenous
seances.
Historical sources indicate that Virtuchi was charged with a murder
and publicly executed by a firing squad at the beginning of the 20th
century. This was the first public execution in the Moxos region, an
ostentatious manifestation of the power of the newly formed local
judicial apparatus. It can therefore be assumed that the indigenous
people, who theretofore had never witnessed such an event, would likely
have been profoundly impacted by the experience and this would subsequently
have given rise to their peculiar beliefs and traditions concerning
Virtuchi.
It is my intention to show that the execution of Virtuchi was, from
the viewpoint of the indigenous people, an effectively performed ritual
proclamation that the State would thereafter take hold of the administration
of justice and thereby replace God as the dispenser of justice.
This concept of State justice would inevitably have clashed with the indigenous
concept of divine justice. This paper will interpret the beliefs
and traditions concerning Virtuchi as a narrative of criticism and subversion
of State monoply of justice.},
