| Sumario: | This article analyses the expressions of native violence in the Río de la Plata region from the time of Spanish Conquest to the mid-eighteenth century, through the sources originated in Buenos Aires. We try to describe what kind of facts were labeled as violent, making a distinction between those which only caused material damages and those that provoked human deaths. Confronting different documents, we try to establish where the violence took place, which was the historical context at that time, which kind of aggression was involved, who the authors were, which were their motivations and what impact they had on their contemporaries.This analyse leads us to question the narratives that consider indian hostility as the launcher of the dynamics of interethnic confrontation and allows us to see native violence as intimely associated to colonial violence, which gives it its sense. We also propose to establish a more rigourous distinction between the notion of malón or razzia and that of weichán or war. |
