The current paper deals with the identification of indigenous authorities in colonial sources, in two borderlands of the Spanish Empire, Tucumán and Nueva Vizcaya, between the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The figure of the chief appears to be omnipresent in colonial documents, in administrative files as well as in documents referring to war. Its recurrent apparition, though, is almost always problematic and ambiguous. The “caciques”, “curacas”, “principales” and so on show up either as autonomous emanation of the group they represent and as necessary figures of the bureaucratic colonial organisation. They were rebel leaders and also representatives chosen by Hispano-Creole instances to represent a previously submitted contingent. This article poses a few hypotheses in order to distinguish in colonial sources a leader who effectively takes its power from within its society from a cacique appointed by the colonial order, whose position is mainly heteronymous. |

I28-R145-6201_oai2025-11-17 Giudicelli, Christophe 2018-01-10 The current paper deals with the identification of indigenous authorities in colonial sources, in two borderlands of the Spanish Empire, Tucumán and Nueva Vizcaya, between the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The figure of the chief appears to be omnipresent in colonial documents, in administrative files as well as in documents referring to war. Its recurrent apparition, though, is almost always problematic and ambiguous. The “caciques”, “curacas”, “principales” and so on show up either as autonomous emanation of the group they represent and as necessary figures of the bureaucratic colonial organisation. They were rebel leaders and also representatives chosen by Hispano-Creole instances to represent a previously submitted contingent. This article poses a few hypotheses in order to distinguish in colonial sources a leader who effectively takes its power from within its society from a cacique appointed by the colonial order, whose position is mainly heteronymous. El presente trabajo trata la identificación de las autoridades indígenas en las fuentes coloniales en dos tierras de frontera de la América española, el Tucumán y la Nueva Vizcaya, entre finales del siglo XVI y principios del XVII. La figura del jefe está omnipresente en los registros coloniales, tanto en los documentos administrativos como en los que tratan de la guerra. Sin embargo, la aparición de esta figura suele ser problemática y ambigua. Los “caciques”, “curacas”, “principales”, etc. aparecen tanto como emanación autónoma del grupo al que representan o como figuras necesarias para la gestión burocrática colonial; como líderes rebeldes o responsables designados por las instancias hispano-criollas para representar un contingente previamente sometido. A partir de estudios de caso, el artículo propone algunas pistas de reflexión para ver en qué medida se puede distinguir en las fuentes la identificación de un jefe emanado de la sociedad indígena del nombramiento heterónomo de un cacique, funcional al orden colonial. Este artigo aborda a identificação de autoridades indígenas em fontes coloniais em duas terras fronteiriças da América Espanhola, Tucumán e Nueva Vizcaya, entre o final do século XVI e o início do século XVII. A figura do chefe é onipresente nos registros coloniais, tanto em documentos administrativos quanto naqueles que tratam de guerra. No entanto, a aparência dessa figura é frequentemente problemática e ambígua. "Caciques", "curacas", "principales" etc. aparecem como emanações autônomas do grupo que representam ou como figuras necessárias à gestão burocrática colonial; como líderes rebeldes ou oficiais designados pelas autoridades hispano-crioulas para representar um contingente anteriormente subjugado. Com base em estudos de caso, o artigo propõe algumas vias de reflexão para verificar em que medida as fontes distinguem a identificação de um chefe proveniente da sociedade indígena da designação heterônoma de um cacique, funcional à ordem colonial. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/MA/article/view/6201 10.34096/mace.v26i1.6201 spa Sección Etnohistoria, Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas.
