In these borders, the Manuscripts elaborate a double critical gesture: rupture with the doxa that confined the Indians to barbarism, establishing their inability to access any form of civilization, and dissent, hardly manifested, with the weaknesses of the nation-state that was being formed after Caseros. To investigate the hesitations and contradictions of a complex approach text, we have chosen, whithin the framework of the discourse analysis and according to the methodology proposed by E. Arnoux (2006), to follow the nation object and its components, narrowing that search in this article to a fragment that shows an episode of maximum tension between local officials accused of corruption and a tribe of Indian friends. The double critical gesture is articulated with the construction of the damaged homeland object. The Manuscripts show in this search a double vocation of testimony: that of the native populations of the Pampas experience, on their way to the place of ethnic minority that the budding nation state was preparing for them, and that of the positions of its author who defended confusingly an inclusive nation project. Los Manuscritos inconclusos y parcialmente publicados de Santiago Avendaño, intérprete y mediador entre los indios de la Pampa y la sociedad cristiana civil y militar, fueron producidos entre 1854 y comienzos de la década de 1870, en el espacio marginal de la frontera sur, desde otro borde, el de su autor, ex-cautivo de identidad vacilante que actuaba entre dos mundos, generando quizás desconfianza en ambos. En esas fronteras, los Manuscritos elaboran un doble gesto crítico: ruptura con la doxa excluyente que confinaba al indio a la barbarie, decretando su incapacidad para acceder a la civilización occidental, y disidencia, dificultosamente manifestada, con las falencias del estado nación en formación después de Caseros.             Para indagar las vacilaciones y contradicciones de un texto de abordaje complejo, optamos, en el marco del análisis del discurso y según la metodología que propone E. Arnoux (2006), por el seguimiento del objeto nación y sus componentes, acotándonos en este artículo a un fragmento que pone en escena un episodio de tensión máxima entre funcionarios locales acusados de corrupción y una tribu de indios amigos. El doble gesto crítico se articula con la construcción del objeto patria dañada. Los Manuscritos muestran en ese seguimiento una doble vocación de testimonio: el del recorrido de los habitantes originarios de la Pampa hacia el lugar de minoría étnica que le preparaba el estado nación en ciernes y el de los posicionamientos de su autor que defendía confusamente un proyecto de nación inclusiva.
