Sumario:This article explores the spatial dimension of politicsin the Río de la Plata during the English invasions and therevolutionary juntismo from the perspective of the Cabildo ofBuenos Aires. On one hand, conceived space is conceptualizedat the decline of the colonial period, and, on the other, it ispointed out its continuity through revolutionary times, althoughin apparent contradiction with crisis of the monarchy, whichis proposed to be thought in terms of deterritorialization. Inthe mesenteries of that passage, reflections are suggested aboutfragments of the trajectories of different political actors, focusingon the spatial keys of their legitimacy. Finally, interventions ofthe revolutionary order on the city of Buenos Aires are deployed,throughout the diplomatic, festive, and sociopolitical levels for theconfiguration of a new public and social space.
