In order to determine if these punishments were legitimate, we will examine the legislation of the Indian villages and several Indian testimonies found in colonial files. This paper will show that the power of certain offices used violence as a mechanism of infrajudicial coercion, in a context where practices of personal service still prevailed. Then, we will analyse the Hispanic-Creole imaginary that underlies these punishments, observing what the dominant establishment fears and wants to prevent through violence and intimidation. Finally, we will reflect on the multiple dimensions of punishments and mention some of theindigenous strategies to denounce them. Este artículo analiza los castigos y malos tratos que reciben los indígenas del Pueblo de Guaco -La Rioja, Gobernación del Tucumán, Virreinato del Perú- a fines del siglo XVII, desde un corpus documental compuesto por un juicio y la Visita de Luján de Vargas. Para determinar la legitimidad de los castigos aplicados se examinará la legislación y las normativas vigentes para los Pueblos de indios, junto a los testimonios indígenas y del encomendero. Se mostrará que la violencia era utilizada como mecanismo de coacción infrajudicial por la potestad de ciertos cargos, en un contexto donde seguían vigentes prácticas de servicio personal. Luego, se buscará captar el imaginario hispano-criollo subyacente en estos ejercicios coercitivos, observando qué es lo que teme o quiere impedir el estamento dominante a través de la violencia y el amedrentamiento. Finalmente, se reflexionará sobre las múltiples dimensiones que poseen los castigos y se mencionarán algunas estrategias indígenas para denunciarlos.
