LUCAIOLI, Carina P.  e  NACUZZI, Lidia R.. Political vocabulary for the indigenous peoples in the Chaco and Pampa regionsduring the colonial period: nación and parcialidad. Mem. am. [online]. 2021, vol.29, n.2, pp.31-49.  Epub 01-Nov-2021. ISSN 1851-3751.

In the documentary sources about the colonial period, it is usual to find the words nación, parcialidad, parcialidades or parciales linked to indigenous groups. As many other terms found in the sources, their use has spread -without much analysis- to academic writing since the beginnings of Anthropology in Argentina. A closer look into the situations and contexts in which these terms are used and registered -in the frontiers, in the Cabildos, in Jesuit writings and in the works of the first ethnohistorians- allows us to identify different nuances. We affirm that a reflection upon those contexts and nuances could shed light on the imaginaries held by colonial agents regarding the political organization of indigenous peoples in the past and, at the same time, enlighten the ways in which these terms have remained as technical-political vocabulary in the academic literature.
