I28-R145-13203_oai2025-11-17 Gil Montero , Raquel 2007-10-01 This article analyses the composition of regional militias that participated in the frontier war fought in Southern Andes (1810-1825). It focuses on the relations militamen established among themselves in a war context. It could be observed that hierarchical and corporative behavior, aspect found in society, was maintained within the troops. However, the act of living together and the severity of war resulted in a kind of pool of different practices belonging to each social-ethnic group. Among these shared practices we highlight: the way officers accepted the food preparation done by the soldiers' women, "compulsive leaves", and the designation of militia leaders who were not patricians. Moreover each group's killing practices were accpeted and their weapons distinguished them. But shared practices were not constant through space and time since they depended upon original elements militiamen brought with them to the battlefield and on the contex shaping them. Este trabajo analiza la composición de las milicias regionales que lucharon en la frontera bélica de los Andes Meridionales entre 1810 y 1825. Al interior de las tropas se mantuvo la jerarquización y el corporativismo, características propias de la sociedad. Sin embargo la convivencia y los rigores de la guerra generaron una suerte de "fondo común" con recursos de los grupos socio-étnicos. Entre estos recursos destacamos: la adopción de una organización para la comida basada en el abastecimiento realizado por las mujeres de los soldados; la aceptación de "licencias compulsivas"; o el nombramiento de líderes militares que no eran "bien nacidos". Ademés se aceptaban prácticas de matar propias de cada grupo y se los distinguía por las armas utilizadas. Estas costumbres compartidas no fueron iguales en todo espacio o tiempo pues dependieron de los elementos originales que se fundaron en la palestra y del contexto que les dio forma. Este artigo analisa a composição das milícias regionais que lutaram na fronteira sul dos Andes entre 1810 e 1825. Dentro das tropas, a estrutura hierárquica e o corporativismo que caracterizam a sociedade foram mantidos. No entanto, a convivência e os rigores da guerra geraram uma espécie de "fundo comum" com recursos de grupos socioétnicos. Entre esses recursos, destacamos: a adoção de um sistema alimentar baseado no abastecimento fornecido pelas esposas dos soldados; a aceitação da "licença compulsória"; e a nomeação de líderes militares que não eram "bem-nascidos". Além disso, práticas de matar específicas de cada grupo eram aceitas e diferenciadas pelas armas utilizadas. Esses costumes compartilhados não eram os mesmos em todos os lugares ou épocas, pois dependiam dos elementos originais que se estabeleciam na arena e do contexto que os moldava. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/MA/article/view/13203 10.34096/mace.v14i0.13203 spa Sección Etnohistoria, Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas.
