Abstract

FANDOS, Cecilia. The living standards of the cochinoca leaseholders (jujuy).
Their situation within the domain of the marquesado de tojo and the tax property during nineteenth century. Folia [online]. 2016, n.26, pp.178-201. ISSN 0325-8238.

The aim of this work is to determine the indicators of personal wealth of the leaseholders of Cochinoca, in the Puna of Jujuy. In order to do so, I will analyze the register of their personal livestock in two different moments which, in turn, are shaped by different types of land ownership rights. First, when the residents of Cochinoca were the leaseholders of the well known Campero’s property (from the Marquesado de Tojo), during the decade of the 1860’s. Secondly, the period in which they established contractual relationships with the State, a moment in which they maintained the same condition despite the lands were expropriated (i.e., after 1876). I will resort to the theoretical framework of the historical studies on living standards, which focus on patterns of social inequality and levels of accumulation, as well as decumulation, or the simple subsistence means of this universe
