Abstract

El presente artículo estudia cómo la ausencia de Fernando VII del trono afectó el sur de los Andes, primero con la creación de Juntas y luego con el enfrentamiento entre estas y el gobierno del virrey José Fernando de Abascal. A pesar de que la historiografía concibe como patriotas a quienes ve como a favor de la independencia, en ese momento todos los actores involucrados en estos procesos consideraron que su participación en estos conflictos se debía a que estaban ‘luchando por la patria’. Sin embargo, este concepto de patria fue variando, por lo que dejó de ser posible verse al mismo tiempo como parte de una patria más amplia que incluía a toda la monarquía hispánica, una patria americana y una patria chica, pasando a ser una patria cada vez más circunscrita a lo local. Con este fin, se estudia el periodo 1808-1815 en el espacio geográfico que va desde Lima a Buenos Aires.

This article studies the way in which the absence of Fernando VII affected the southern Andes, first with the creation of the Juntas and then with the conflict between these and the government of viceroy José Fernando Abascal. Although historiography considers patriots those who they see as fighting for independence, all the actors involved in these processes at the time conceived their fight as one undertaken for the patria. Whatchanged, however, was how the concept of patria was perceived an how it was no longer possible to see oneself, at the same time, as part of a wider patria that included all the Hispanic Monarchy, an American patria and a smaller local patria, as the concept became ever more circumscribed to the small local patria. This article studies the period between 1808 and 1815 in the area between Lima and Buenos Aires.
