摘要：Discourse on the Andean history of the Pre-Hispanic period includes theories about ‘Inca Empire’ and ‘Inca Empire as utopia’, and began in Europe during the Age of Discovery, also known as the Age of Exploration, and has continued and expanded to the present age. However, it is odd that the Andean discourse was created and then continued in the world without participation by indigenous people. The discourse has developed one- sidedly while causing much conflict between academics in interpretations of Andean history. This symposium was an epoch-making attempt to bring researchers from abroad and Japan together, to examine conflicts caused by the creation and development of Andes discourse, from the standpoints of archeology, anthropology, and history.
