[EN] The analysis of a number of lawsuit files from the early decades of the Spanish administration of what is now Bolivia, kept in the archives of the city of Cochabamba, reveals a concept of mitimaes that runs counter to the conventional wisdom about this term that has been accepted and divulged by many a researcher of the Incan empire. The mitimaes were people who lived in places other than those of their ethnic origin. Those mentioned in the Cochabamba files were part and parcel, together with the mitayos (or corvée laborers for the state) and other social categories, of a single system of production, at least in that area of the Empire; there the mitimaes were not a category that belonged in an imperial organization that was separate from and opposite to the organization of the central Andean peoples that the Incas had incorporated. The Cochabamba documents make the analyst to consider that the most commonly accepted understanding of the term mitimaes among Andeanists fits the political, social and economic conditions in the early decades of Spanish rule rather than those in the Inca period.
[ES] El análisis de varios expedientes judiciales de las primeras décadas de la administración española de lo que es hoy Bolivia, conservados en el Archivo Histórico Municipal de Cochabamba, permite poner en entredicho el concepto de mitimaes aceptado convencionalmente por muchos investigadores del imperio inca. El análisis revela que tanto los mitimaes (población desplazada permanentemente) como los mitayos (trabajadores por turno para el Estado) y otras categorías sociales formaban parte complementaria de un mismo sistema de producción, al menos en esa parte del imperio inca; los mitimaes no eran allí expresión de una organización económica imperial entendida como separada y contraria a la organización de las etnias o naciones que el Imperio comprendía. Los documentos de Cochabamba hacen pensar que la definición más comúnmente aceptada del término mitimaes entre los especialistas se corresponde mejor con la de los mitimaes de la época española temprana que con la situación real de los mitimaes en el periodo incaico.
