The subject is approached through a case study which shows how a faction of San Miguel de Tucumán town council (cabildo) tried to prevent the admission of Juan Jordán de Trejo as deputy governor (teniente de gobernador). He belonged to the Melián de Leguizamo y Guevara family, owners of encomiendas in Tafí, but his lower lineage made him served as the town’s administrator. Specific characteristics of his intercultural persona resembling a mirror image -referred to as Spanishization or Westernization of the Indians- will be studied, including his fluency in the indigenous language, his knowledge of pre-Hispanic societies and their territories and his illiteracy. His role as interethnic mediator (passeur culturel), and the advantages and drawbacks such a profile presents at different junctures, for social and political participation in the dominant group, will also be analyzed. Este artículo analiza la influencia de las sociedades indígenas sobre los descendientes de conquistadores españoles, los criollos. Se estudiará el caso de Juan Jordán de Trejo y los impedimentos presentados por una facción del cabildo de San Miguel de Tucumán a su admisión como teniente de gobernador. Este individuo descendía de una familia encomendera de Tafí, llamada Melián de Leguizamo y Guevara, pero pertenecía a una rama no favorecida del linaje y se desempeñaba como administrador de ese pueblo. Se indagará sobre las características de su mestizaje en el que destaca, a modo de espejo -de la españolización u occidentalización de los indios-, el manejo fluido de la lengua indígena, el conocimiento de las sociedades prehispánicas y sus territorios y el analfabetismo. Se analizará su rol como mediador interétnico (passeur culturel) y las ventajas y obstáculos de este perfil en distintas coyunturas para el desempeño social y político en el grupo dominante. Este artigo analisa a influência das sociedades indígenas sobre os descendentes dos conquistadores espanhóis, os criollos. Examina o caso de Juan Jordán de Trejo e os obstáculos apresentados por uma facção da conselho municipal (cabildo) de San Miguel de Tucumán para sua admissão como tenente-governador. Este indivíduo descendia de uma família de encomenderos de Tafí chamada Melián de Leguizamo y Guevara, mas pertencia a um ramo desfavorecido da linhagem e serviu como administrador daquela cidade. Investiga as características de sua mestiçagem, na qual se destacam -como um espelho da experiência hispano-falante ou ocidental dos indígenas- sua fluência na língua indígena, seu conhecimento das sociedades pré-hispânicas e seus territórios e seu analfabetismo. Analisa seu papel como mediador interétnico (passeur culturel) e as vantagens e obstáculos que esse perfil apresenta em diferentes situações para o desempenho social e político dentro do grupo dominante. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/MA/article/view/11961 spa Sección Etnohistoria, Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas.
