La liquidación de las instituciones corporativas coloniales en tiempos de la independencia: la Reducción de San Ignacio de los Tobas, Jujuy

摘要

This work studies the impact of new economic policies introduced in theRio de la Plataarea since the revolutionary period on corporate land-holding institutions. The case under analysis is the Indian Mission of San Ignacio de los Tobas, located on theEastern Chacofrontier, which experienced a process of land sale and final liquidation between 1816 and 1821. Two different economic logics were confronted in the process of liquidation of theMission: One stood for the dismantling of corporate institutions and immediate land sales to public bidders, the other proposed the full restoration of theMissionas a corporate land-holding institution, though within a republican political framework that helped undermine its legitimacy.??
