Migraciones, religiones y derecho: la tradición de la Iglesia siria oriental «nestoriana» (siglos V-XXI)

Religious regimes of normativity, pertaining to non-catholic traditions of Christianity, which are particular to the history of Asia, where they originated and throve between late antiquity and early modern age, provide a powerful testimony as to social, legal and cultural entanglements that cannot be acknowledged nor understood from the binary vision of the Kulturkampf between the “East” and the “West”. Case in point: the tradition of the “Nestorian” Church of the East, with its early spread eastward, from Mesopotamia and Persia to India and China, through all of Central Asia, long before the catholic and protestant missions of the late Middle Ages and the modern age (14th to 19th centuries), defies the paradigms of postcolonial analysis. Legal and liturgical multilingual documents and monuments of the Church of the East—born from the persecution of the followers of Nestorius and Theodore of Mopsuestia under the Roman rule, established in Eastern Mesopotamia as a self-standing denomination under the katholikós, since 410—, reflect an original and autonomous Christian culture, risen from heresy, independent from any papal or imperial agenda. Its bodies of theological doctrines and liturgical formularies, particularly its legal texts, reveal a transnational, non-exclusively confessional mindset, open to hybridization. Likewise, the legal and liturgical system of the Church of the East, developed over eight centuries through migrations, commerce, missional and literary activity (writing and translations) along the Silk Roads trade and knowledge network, provided governance and justice for Christians (and also non-Christians) belonging to many peoples in diverse territories. Built with a communal rather than institutional outreach, the tradition of “Nestorian” Christianity is a genuinely “Eastern” one. It survives among us, confirmed and reinforced in its jurisdictional and pastoral structures, but also misinterpreted and misplaced, as to its role in the context of the history of Asia. Challenged and hunted, it’s facing oblivion, dispersion and, eventually, annihilation.

En particular, la tradición de la Iglesia «nestoriana» siria oriental, que se difundió por toda Asia Central, desde Mesopotamia y Persia hasta India y China, adelantándose por mucho a las misiones católicas y protestantes de los siglos XIV, XVI y XIX, desafía los paradigmas del análisis poscolonial. La Iglesia siria oriental nació de la persecución de los seguidores de Nestorio y Teodoro de Mopsuestia, marginalizados en el Imperio romano; y se estableció en la Mesopotamia oriental, unificándose bajo el katholikós, como denominación independiente, desde el año 410. Sus documentos y monumentos jurídicos y litúrgicos, en diversas lenguas, reflejan una cultura original y autónoma, surgida inicialmente del estigma herético, e independiente de toda agenda papal o imperial. Sus cuerpos teológico y litúrgico, y sobre todo sus textos jurídicos, forman una construcción transnacional, no exclusivamente confesional, abierta a la hibridación. Asimismo, sus ordenamientos jurídicos y litúrgicos, que se desarrollaron y difundieron durante ocho siglos de migraciones, comercio, actividad misional y literaria (escritura y traducción) sobre las Rutas de la Seda, proveyeron gobierno y justicia para cristianos (y gentiles) que pertenecían a muchos pueblos y habitaban territorios diversos. La tradición cristiana «nestoriana», construida con vocación comunitaria más que institucional, es auténticamente «oriental». Su Iglesia sobrevive entre nosotros, confirmada y reforzada en sus estructuras jurisdiccionales y pastorales, y a la vez incomprendida en cuanto a su papel y lugar en la historia de Asia. Amenazada y oprimida, se enfrenta hoy al olvido, la dispersión y la aniquilación.2023text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=9035842(Revista) ISSN 0251-3420(Revista) ISSN 2305-2546Derecho PUCP: Revista de la Facultad de Derecho, ISSN 2305-2546, Nº. 90, 2023 (Ejemplar dedicado a: Estudios Socio-Jurídicos), pags. 251-315spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
