| Sumario: | This work analyses the role of district mayors in the socio-legal framework of Jujuy city in the early 19th century. These court auxiliaries were key agents in the complex political scenario developed in the territory after 1810. Their representation was overlapped by the functions they performed as community life organizers and as intermediary agents of the electoral process in the Republican period. In order to explain the judges’ actions during the revolutionary process and the consolidation of the new order we have triedto answer the following questions: who were these district mayors?, where did they come from?, how did they perform their role?, how did they build structures of authority? This paper dialogues with the latest historiography about the social history of justice, in particular with studies on peripheral municipal justice, neighborhood mayors, as well as with case studies of different territories in the Río de la Plata region. |
