I28-R145-14268_oai2025-11-17 Avellaneda, Mercedes 2024-12-12 This article focuses on the cultural mediation of the Jesuits within the Paraguay and Río de la Plata missions. It analyzes the control mechanisms the Provincials and Superiors of the Society of Jesus employed to ensure the internal discipline of the Jesuits in the construction of a Christian/civilized society. It also explores the conflicts and indigenous resistance that the missionaries faced in the day-to-day life in the missions. We worked with private documentation produced by Generals, Provincials and Superiors fathers who wrote of or visited the missions, which allowed us to reconstruct a first-hand historical ethnography of its protagonists. We address the attempt of configuring a new social order within the missions and how interethnic relations between the missionaries and the reduced Indians were transformed. El artículo se enfoca en la mediación cultural de los jesuitas al interior de las reducciones del Paraguay y Río de la Plata y analiza los mecanismos de control que ejercieron los Provinciales y Superiores de la Compañía de Jesús para asegurar la disciplina interna de los religiosos en la construcción de una sociedad cristiana/civilizada. También explora los conflictos y la resistencia indígena que tuvieron que enfrentar los doctrineros en el día a día de las misiones. Se consultó documentación privada de los padres Generales, Provinciales y Superiores que visitaron y escribieron sobre los indígenas en las misiones lo que nos permitió reconstruir una etnografía histórica de primera mano de sus protagonistas. Abordamos el intento de configurar un nuevo orden social dentro de las misiones y la manera en que se transformaron las relacionesinterétnicas entre los misioneros y los indios reducidos. O artigo se concentra na mediação cultural dos jesuítas nas reduções do Paraguai e do Rio da Prata e analisa os mecanismos de controle exercidos pelos Provinciais e Superiores da Companhia de Jesus para garantir a disciplina interna dos religiosos na construção de uma sociedade cristã/civilizada. Também explora os conflitos e a resistência indígena que os doutrinários tiveram que enfrentar no cotidiano das missões. Consultamos a documentação privada dos Padres Gerais, Provinciais e Superiores que visitaram e escreveram sobre os povos indígenas nas missões, o que nos permitiu reconstruir uma etnografia histórica de primeira mão de seus protagonistas. Abordamos a tentativa de estabelecer uma nova ordem social dentro das missões e a maneira como as relações interétnicas entre os missionários e os índios reduzidos foram transformadas. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/MA/article/view/14268 10.34096/mace.v32i2.14268 spa Sección Etnohistoria, Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas.
