Construcción de poder y ascenso social en una frontera colonial: el caso de Diego Trillo

Abstract

By 1760, the intensification of mercantile circulation, Araucanian migratory flows and Bourbon defensive policies led to the articulation of the southern border of the Empire, linking various colonial and indigenous territories from the Pacific to the Atlantic. In this paper, we intend to demonstrate- over a life story- the opportunities generated in this frontier for the development of power-building and upward mobility strategies. Pursuing this objective, we will analyze economic mechanisms and political practices that allowed the social trajectory of Spanish Diego Trillo, who at the end of 1750s settled in the Buenos Aires rural area. Along his life, Trillo was storekeeper and landowner, achieving a major economic accumulation, and also performed as Sargento Mayor of militia and Alcalde de la Santa Hermandad of various villages. We are particularly interested in identifying the links between his economic accumulation, some forms of representation and identification and the performance of state functions, altogether in a frontier context. We will argue that his social trajectory reflected both individual strategies and changes and continuities in the political, economic and cultural features of the Río de la Plata in the late colonial period.

Hacia 1760, la intensidad de la circulación mercantil en el sur de los dominios hispánicos en América, la instalación de nuevos grupos araucanos y las políticas desarrolladas por los funcionarios borbónicos significaron la articulación de la frontera que unía al Pacífico con el Atlántico. Ello generó oportunidades de construir poder legitimado en el Servicio al Rey y en el conflicto con las parcialidades indígenas vecinas. A partir de un estudio de caso, el del Sargento Mayor de milicias Diego Trillo, identificaremos prácticas que sustentaban la construcción de poder, así como las resistencias y conflictos que suscitaban. Además, analizaremos las formas de autoidentificación y de representación de Trillo como parte de su estrategia de poder. Por último, buscaremos relacionar el ejercicio del poder con sus actividades económicas. Este artículo pretende demostrar que la trayectoria social de Diego Trillo fue posibilitada por el lugar que ocupaba como mediador local, por lo que espacio, agencia y poder resultan términos íntimamente relacionados.
