I28-R145-13601_oai2025-11-17 Boccara, Guillaume 2006-07-03 The current essay focuses in the main transformation known in historical anthropology research of frontier areas during the last decades. At the beginning we will present Los Vencidos, the pioneer work of Nathan Wachtel, French Historian and Anthropologist, in order to explain how this book turned out to be a milestone in the ethnohistoric literature of Latin Amarica. Then we will argue that the analysis proposed by the author, in terms of resistence/acculturation, tended to be progressively displaced by phenomena such as: ethnicity, mestizaje, ethnogenesis. We will show, thus, how ethnohistorical research regarding the New World and its frontiers has changed, above all in the ways to approach the cultural dynamic and the sociohistorical processes developed due to the arrival of European people to America. Finally this will lead us to pose a tentative definition of a notion called frontier complex. El presente ensayo tiene por objetivo dar cuenta de las principales transformaciones conocidas por las investigaciones en antropología histórica de las zonas fronterizas durante las últimas dos décadas. Partiremos de la presentación de la obra pionera del historiador y antropólogo francés Nathan Wachtel. Explicaremos en qué medida su libro, Los Vencidos, marca un hito en la literatura etnohistórica latinoamericanista. Luego veremos que el análisis en términos de resistencia/ aculturación usado por Wachtel ha tendido a ser desplazado progresivamente por el estudio de fenómenos de etnogénesis, etnificación y mestizaje. Mostraremos así en qué medida se puede afirmar que las investigaciones etnohistóricas relativas a las fronteras del Nuevo Mundo han experimentado un giro con respecto a la manera de abordar las dinámicas culturales y los procesos sociohistóricos que se desarrollaron desde la llegada de los europeos a América. Esto nos llevará a plantear una definición tentativa de la noción de complejo fronterizo. Este ensaio tem como objetivo descrever as principais transformações observadas na pesquisa antropológica histórica sobre fronteiras nas últimas duas décadas. Começamos apresentando o trabalho pioneiro do historiador e antropólogo francês Nathan Wachtel. Explicaremos em que medida seu livro, Os Vencidos, marca um marco na literatura etno-histórica latino-americana. Em seguida, veremos como a análise de Wachtel em termos de resistência/aculturação tendeu a ser progressivamente substituída pelo estudo da etnogênese, etnificação e mestiçagem. Assim, demonstraremos em que medida a pesquisa etno-histórica sobre as fronteiras do Novo Mundo passou por uma mudança em sua abordagem das dinâmicas culturais e dos processos sociohistóricos que se desenvolveram desde a chegada dos europeus às Américas. Isso nos levará a propor uma definição provisória da noção de complexo de fronteiras. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/MA/article/view/13601 spa Sección Etnohistoria, Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas.
