| Sumario: | The paper analyzes the strategies developed by an elite family in Tucuman province, the García de Valdés. These strategies were directed at preserving the material and symbolic patrimony within the framework of the changes produced by the destructuration of the colonial order and the beginning of the revolutionary process. The lands belonging to "the Garcías" are a good example of the settlement process in the frontier area and also of the strategies developed by groups of power, at the beginning of the period, aiming to defend and raise the dubious price of their patrimony. The paper analyses the mechanisms implemented in the construction and continuity of lineage, the increase of family patrimony and the extension of kinship through marriage. |
