Resumen
VOLLWEILER, Sabrina. The south of Córdoba between the 17th and 18th century: The configuration of the border. Andes [online]. 2021, vol.32, n.2, pp.00-00. ISSN 1668-8090.
The territories located south of the city of Córdoba, in present-day Argentina, were explored by the conquerors from the end of the 16th century onwards. Some indigenous people of the region were distributed in encomiendas and, over the centuries, ranches were created in which various economic activities were developed. This was the case of the Cuarto River, where a military, inter-ethnic, cultural and social border was established, recognized as such since the end of the 18th century. We will review the use of the categories established by colonial government officials to refer to the city of Córdoba, especially regarding the territories south of the city, close to the Cuarto River, with the objective of approaching the ideas that the colonial authorities had about the region in the period between the 17th and the 18th centuries. These government officials and other actors interacted with the indigenous groups and implemented defensive strategies to avoid conflicts with them, so, we will analyze how the border at the Cuarto river was understood and what role it played for the city of Córdoba.
